Using an Existing FRITZ!Box as a Repeater
You can extend the wireless LAN radio network of your
FRITZ!Box with an additional FRITZ!Box you already have. To
extend your wireless LAN, configure the repeater function in

15.3 Wireless LAN—Getting Technical
A wireless LAN is based on standards defined by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). These standards
describe, for instance, the transmission speeds, encryption
methods and frequencies used in a wireless LAN network.
Data Throughput
The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and
IEEE 802.11ac. Wireless devices based on one or more of the
standards listed can be used for wireless LAN connections
with the FRITZ!Box.
The standards are intended for different frequency bands.
Standard Frequency Band Gross Throughput up to Net Throughput up to
802.11b 2.4 GHz 11 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s
802.11g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
802.11a 5 GHz 54 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
802.11n 2.4 / 5 GHz 450 Mbit/s 200 Mbit/s
802.11ac 5 GHz 1300 Mbit/s 650 Mbit/s
