Connecting a wireless device directly with the FRITZ!Repeater

If you set up your FRITZ!Repeater as described in our guide Setting up FRITZ!Repeater in the FRITZ! home network, the FRITZ!Repeater adopts the Wi-Fi network name and Wi-Fi network key of the FRITZ!Box during setup. This allows your wireless devices to automatically connect to the best Wi-Fi network.

If you customized the FRITZ!Repeater with individual Wi-Fi settings, connect your wireless devices directly to the FRITZ!Repeater.
