Setting up FRITZ!Repeater in the Mesh
You want to set up a FRITZ!Repeater and connect it to your FRITZ!Box? ✔ It's easy with this step-by-step guide.
The FRITZ!Repeater adds an additional wireless access point to your home network quickly and easily. This way you will have ideal Wi-Fi reception and high-speed connections to the internet and home network, even when outside the Wi-Fi range of your FRITZ!Box.
Since the FRITZ!Repeater is automatically integrated into the FRITZ! Mesh during setup, it adopts all of the Wi-Fi settings from your FRITZ!Box, such as access information and guest access, and can be used directly by all of the wireless devices in the home network.
There are several ways to connect the FRITZ!Repeater with your FRITZ! home network. Which connection type makes the most sense for you depends on the FRITZ!Repeater model being used and the operational environment.
