Fritz!Box 4040 - Using FRITZ!Box as a Mesh Repeater

Using FRITZ!Box as a MeshRepeater
Overview
You can use your FRITZ!Box4040 as a Mesh Repeater. As Mesh Re-
peater, the FRITZ!Box4040 expands the Wi-Fi network of anoth-
er FRITZ!Box which is connected to the internet connection. The
other FRITZ!Box is the Mesh Master, and the Wi-Fi networks of
both FRITZ!Box products are combined to make the Mesh Wi-Fi. All
MeshRepeaters automatically adopt the Wi-Fi network settings from
the MeshMaster (network name, network key, guest access, schedule)
and expand the Wi-Fi network.
