Setting up a FRITZ!Mesh Set

In no time at all, the FRITZ!Mesh Set creates a FRITZ! Mesh with optimally coordinated, high-performance Wi-Fi access points at your disposal.

You can either configure all repeaters in the Set as Mesh Repeaters behind a FRITZ!Box, or configure one FRITZ!Repeater from the FRITZ!Mesh Set as the Mesh Master and connect it with an existing router or with the device you received from your internet provider.

1 Configuring the FRITZ!Mesh Set behind a FRITZ!Box

When you use the FRITZ!Mesh Set behind a FRITZ!Box, the individual FRITZ!Repeaters in the Set are Mesh Repeaters and thus adopt all settings of the FRITZ!Box (Mesh Master). You can connect the FRITZ!Repeaters with the FRITZ!Box via either Wi-Fi or LAN.

2 Setting up the FRITZ!Mesh Set behind a router from another manufacturer

When you use the FRITZ!Mesh Set behind the a router from another manufacturer, a FRITZ!Repeater from the Set takes on the role of Mesh Master and provides an independent home network which you can expand with any other FRITZ! devices. As the Mesh Master the FRITZ!Repeater transmits its settings to its Mesh Repeaters, like for instance the other repeaters from the Set, or additional FRITZ!Repeaters and FRITZ!Powerline devices:
