Using the FRITZ!Repeater in a home network without a DHCP server
By default, the FRITZ!Repeater obtains its IP settings from the wireless router (for example FRITZ!Box) via DHCP. If you want to use the FRITZ!Repeater in a home network without a DHCP server, you must manually configure the IP settings.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Repeater.
1 Preparing the device
For the duration of the setup, assign the following IP settings to the device you want to use to configure the FRITZ!Repeater:
- Enter 192.168.178.200 as the IP address in the device.
- Enter 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask in the device.
- Enter 192.168.178.2 as the standard gateway in the device.
- Enter 192.168.178.2 as the DNS server in the device.
2 Assigning static IP settings to FRITZ!Repeater
- Connect the FRITZ!Repeater to the FRITZ!Box or the router via Wi-Fi.
Important:When setting up the connection, the FRITZ!Repeater adopts the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) of the FRITZ!Box or the router. Therefore, connect the devices to the Wi-Fi network of the FRITZ!Box or router after setting up the FRITZ!Repeater.
- Click "Network" in the user interface of the FRITZ!Repeater.
- Click "Network Settings" in the "Network" menu.
- Enable the option "Configure the IP address manually".
- Enter the IP settings in the corresponding fields.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Now the FRITZ!Repeater uses static IP settings. Return the device you used to configure the FRITZ!Repeater to its original IP settings.
