Fritz! 6000 - Changing the Type of Connection

Changing the Type of Connection
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 following connection types must be configured for the FRITZ!Re-
peater:
• for connection via Wi-Fi: “Wireless bridge”
(standard setting)
• for connection via LAN cable: “LAN bridge”
“LAN bridge” is configured automatically for FRITZ!Repeaters with
FRITZ!OS version 7.20 or higher whenever they connect to a FRITZ!
Box with FRITZ!OS version 7.00 or higher.
You can check this setting manually on your FRITZ!Repeater and
change it if needed.
Application Example
• The FRITZ!Repeater was already connected with the internet router
(FRITZ!Box) via LAN cable and now is to be connected via Wi-Fi.
• When the FRITZ!Repeater was connected with the internet router
(FRITZ!Box) via LAN cable, it was not automatically set to the con-
nection type “LAN bridge”.
