Fritz! 6000 - Connecting the FRITZ!Repeater to an Internet Router (FRITZ!Box)

Connecting the FRITZ!Repeater to an Internet Router (FRITZ!Box)
Overview
The FRITZ!Repeater can be connected with an internet router (FRITZ!
Box) in two ways: You can establish a Wi-Fi connection to the router or
connect the FRITZ!Repeater with a LAN cable.
The connection to the router can be configured either directly on the
FRITZ!Repeater or using a computer to open the configuration wizard
in the FRITZ!Repeater user interface.
Rules for the Wi-Fi Connection
• You can establish a Wi-Fi connection between the FRITZ!Repeater
and the internet router (FRITZ!Box) at the touch of a button (WPS).
If you cannot connect at the push of a button, use the configuration
wizard in the FRITZ!Repeater user interface.
• Upon connection, the FRITZ!Repeater adopts the following Wi-Fi
settings from the router (FRITZ!Box): Wi-Fi network name (SSID),
Wi-Fi network key (password), and Wi-Fi encryption.
• In the Mesh of a FRITZ!Box, the FRITZ!Repeater adopts the Wi-Fi
network settings of the FRITZ!Box automatically upon connection,
and every time they are changed in the FRITZ!Box.
• Without Mesh, the FRITZ!Repeater adopts the Wi-Fi setting just
once upon connecting. If you change the Wi-Fi settings in the router,
then you have to adopt the settings on the FRITZ!Repeater again;
see page51.
Rules for the LAN Connection
Connect the FRITZ!Repeater via LAN cable in the following cases:
• The FRITZ!Repeater is to be deployed at a location where no stable
Wi-Fi connection to the internet router (FRITZ!Box) is possible.
• A LAN connection to the FRITZ!Box can be established from the
place where the FRITZ!Repeater is being used, for example using
the existing cabling in your home.
