Positioning and Optimization
Proper placement of the FRITZ!Repeater is crucial for optimal performance. Position the repeater approximately halfway between your FRITZ!Box and the devices that need extended Wi-Fi coverage. The FRITZ!App WLAN is a helpful tool for finding the best location for your repeater, ensuring a strong and stable connection.
You can download the FRITZ!App WLAN for free from the Google Play Store (Android) and the App Store (iOS).
