AVM FRITZ!Mesh set: FRITZ!Box 7530 + FRITZ!Repeater 1200 International / CH
Question about AVM FRITZ!Mesh set: FRITZ!Box 7530 + FRITZ!Repeater 1200 International / CH
I have a Swisscom router in the basement. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi does not reach the ground floor and first floor. I would therefore like to use the AVM Fritz Mesh as an access point on the ground floor and integrate a Mesh Repeater via LAN bridge on the first floor. Does this work?
Helpful answer
Yes, I use the Swisscom router with WiFi in the basement (strong concrete walls) and the AVM FritzBox is connected by cable and WiFi is set up on the ground floor. The repeaters (mesh function) ensure wifi coverage on the ground floor and first floor on the same network. What is not possible is to integrate the Swisscom router into the mesh. This WLAN runs under a different SSID, unfortunately. However, I have now tested that if the FritzBox is on the ground floor, it is sufficient to use the Fritz Box WLAN in the cellar with the Repeater 1750E, despite the thick concrete walls (the WLAN of the Swisscom Box is no longer necessary).
