Cannot register FRITZ!DECT Repeater

Registration of a FRITZ!DECT Repeater to a FRITZ!Box fails. After the automatic configuration, the DECT LED on the repeater flashes continuously and the DECT connection between the FRITZ!Box and repeater is not established.

Here we show you how to correct this problem if you are using a FRITZ!Box as the access point. However, you can also register the FRITZ!DECT Repeater with a base station from another manufacturer.

Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem is solved.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

1 Maximum number has been reached

You can register up to six FRITZ!DECT Repeaters with the FRITZ!Box. If you have already registered six repeaters, you cannot register any more repeaters.
