Setting up FRITZ!Repeater in the FRITZ!Box home network

You want to set up a FRITZ!Repeater and connect it to your FRITZ!Box? ✔ It's easy with this step-by-step guide.

The FRITZ!Repeater adds an additional wireless access point to your home network quickly and easily. This way you will have ideal Wi-Fi reception and high-speed connections to the internet and home network, even when outside the Wi-Fi range of your FRITZ!Box.

If you are using a FRITZ!Box with FRITZ!OS 7 or later, the FRITZ!Repeater is automatically integrated into the FRITZ! Mesh during setup. The FRITZ!Repeater adopts all of the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi settings, such as access information and guest access, and can be used directly by all of the wireless devices in the home network.

There are various ways to connect the FRITZ!Repeater with the home network. Which connection type is best depends on your operational environment.
