FRITZ!Repeater is not marked with Mesh symbol

You want to integrate a FRITZ!Repeater into the Mesh but it's not marked with the Mesh symbol? ✔ Just follow these simple instructions.

Although the FRITZ!Repeater is connected to the FRITZ!Box and displayed in the Mesh Overview, the Mesh symbol is missing.

FRITZ!Repeater not marked with Mesh symbol in Mesh Master

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

1 Installing the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Repeater

  1. Click "System" in the user interface of the FRITZ!Repeater.
  2. Click on "Update" in the "System" menu.
  3. Click on the "FRITZ!OS Version" tab.
  4. Click the "Find New FRITZ!OS" button.
  5. Click the "Start Update" button.

2 Unlocking the Mesh Master's buttons

You can only add devices to the Mesh by pushing a button. Therefore, unlock the buttons in the Mesh Master:

  1. Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Buttons and LEDs" in the "System" menu.
  3. Click on the "Keylock" tab.
  4. Disable the "Buttons locked" checkbox.
  5. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

3 Directly connecting FRITZ!Repeater with the Mesh Master

The following step is only necessary if the FRITZ!Repeater is connected to the Mesh Master via a device from another manufacturer (for example a switch, powerline device):

  1. Connect the FRITZ!Repeater directly to a LAN port on the Mesh Master. Do not use the WAN port. Not every FRITZ!Box model has a WAN port.

4 Adding a FRITZ!Repeater to the Mesh by button

You must push a button to add the device to the Mesh. It does not matter whether you push the button on the Mesh Master or the Mesh Repeater first. We recommend the following order:

  1. Briefly push the Connect button on the FRITZ!Repeater (for about 1 second) and release it again. When you release the button, the Connect LED starts to flash quickly.
  2. Within 2 minutes: Push and hold down the Connect button on the Mesh Master until the Connect LED (see table) lights up. Other LEDs may also light up.
