How does a FRITZ WLAN repeater work?
The WLAN
signal can be amplified and expanded
with a WLAN repeater
.
The FRITZ!
is the market leader in the area of WLAN routers and repeaters.
WLAN repeaters are used when the router cannot deliver interference-free WLAN to every location in the apartment or house.
A WLAN repeater simply forwards the router signal and thus expands your network.
The terms range extender and WLAN repeater are often synonymous with a WLAN repeater.
Depending on the model, a FRITZ
WLAN repeater can increase the range by up to 100 meters
.
The repeater acts as a kind of radio station, the WLAN signal of the router is picked up and forwarded.
Do you have to cover a large area or even an office complex?
Up to 254 WLAN repeaters can be switched in a network.
One model is usually sufficient in your own four walls.
Where is the best location for a WiFi repeater?
Ideally, the location for the WiFi repeater should be chosen so that it is between the router and the end device.
Position the amplifier in different locations
and test the signal strength with your smartphone or other device.
Make sure that no objects such as radiators or microwaves disturb or even interrupt the range.
Many WiFi repeaters have an integrated LED display that you can use to determine the quality of the connection to the router.
Set up the FRITZ WLAN Repeater via WPS
The
easiest and most convenient way to
set up the FRITZ WLAN repeater is with the WPS button.
Here the setup takes place automatically.
After you have determined the best location for the WiFi repeater, plug it into the socket.
Now press the WPS button on the WiFi repeater and hold it down for about six seconds.
The WiFi indicator will light up.
Now repeat the same process on the router.
Again, the LED will flash when it's ready.
The connection between router and repeater is now set up automatically.
If you are not satisfied with the location, you can change it later.
The facility remains.
Set up the FRITZ WLAN Repeater using a browser
Some devices do not have a WPS button and so the
WiFi repeater has to be set up manually
.
This is done via the internet browser.
To do this, go to the “http: //fritz.repeater/” page.
The password for the AVM repeaters is zero eight times, ie "00000000".
The FRITZ wizard will then guide you through the setup.
