Connecting FRITZ!Repeater with a wireless router via the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network

The FRITZ!Repeater can extend the Wi-Fi network of the wireless router (for example a FRITZ!Box) in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency band.

If both Wi-Fi networks are enabled in the wireless router at the same time, by default the FRITZ!Repeater uses the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network to establish the Wi-Fi connection when setting it up via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). To establish a connection over the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, you must disable the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network in the wireless router when setting up the FRITZ!Repeater.

1 Disabling the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network in the wireless router

Note:For the following instructions, we used a FRITZ!Box as an example. Refer to the manufacturer of the wireless router for information on setting it up; for example, consult the manual.

  1. Click "Wi-Fi" ("Wireless") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Wi-Fi Network" ("Radio Network") in the "Wi-Fi" ("Wireless") menu.
  3. Disable the option "2.4-GHz frequency band active" in the section "Active Frequency Bands", or disable the option "Wireless radio network enabled" in the "2.4-GHz Frequency Band" section. If the FRITZ!Box supports more than one frequency band but only one is displayed, enable the Advanced View first.
  4. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

2 Connecting FRITZ!Repeater with the wireless router

Note:For the following instructions, we used a FRITZ!Box as an example. Refer to the manufacturer of the wireless router for information on setting it up; for example, consult the manual.

  1. For setup, plug the FRITZ!Repeater into a power outlet near the FRITZ!Box.
  2. Wait about 1 minute until the FRITZ!Repeater has started and the Power and WLAN LEDs remain lit.
  3. Push and hold down the WPS button on the FRITZ!Repeater (for about 6 seconds) until its WLAN LED flashes.
  4. Within 2 minutes: Push and hold down the Connect button on the FRITZ!Box until the Connect LED lights up. Other LEDs may also light up:

    FRITZ!Box 6820, 4040, 4020, 3490 WPS WLAN
  5. One or more signal strength LEDs on the FRITZ!Repeater remain lit as soon as setup is completed.

Now the FRITZ!Repeater establishes the connection to the wireless router using the 5 GHz Wi-Fi network. You can re-enable the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network in the wireless router.
