Experience has shown that these are primarily Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPad or Mac, but it makes sense to simply give all devices a fixed IP in the home network to avoid conflicts. Last but not least, you should set up fixed IP addresses for all devices in the WLAN that have problems with the mesh network. FritzBox-Mesh: Assign fixed IP addresses for all devices The mesh icon must be visible, otherwise something is wrong. If repeaters are not displayed with the mesh symbol, either the firmware is not up-to-date or the setup failed: Resets the affected repeater and sets it up again. If it appears on all repeaters, everything is OK. To do this, you have to select the Home Network -> Mesh option in the FritzBox and look for the small Mesh symbol here. Check mesh statusĪfter the restart, checks whether all devices are set up as mesh devices. Important: Make sure that all devices have the latest firmware. Then restart all devices by first unplugging all devices and then first plugging in the FritzBox and then the remaining Fritz devices. Modern FritzOS versions also have an auto-update function, which you can activate under System -> Update. To do this, first log in to all devices and install any necessary updates.

Update FritzBox and FritzRepeaterīefore you get started, you should make sure that all your Fritz devices have the latest firmware. At least in theory, because in practice there are often problems with disconnections and slow WiFi. The result: Significantly more powerful WiFi with more range. FRITZ-Mesh is intended to seamlessly integrate repeaters and powerline devices with WiFi into the WiFi and enable problem-free switching between the individual WiFi cells by means of roaming. AVM has been pushing for some time the mesh technique.
