You can now get the «Fritz Mesh Set 4200» and the pure 5G router «Fritzbox 6860 5G» from AVM. The set could be of interest to you if the mesh functionalities of your existing router are not sufficient. The included repeaters also increase the range of your Wi-Fi network.
The «Fritzbox 6860 5G» can help you get fast Internet if fast broadband Internet is not available at your location. All you need is a power socket for operation - and of course a good mobile phone connection.
Fully configurable mesh network with «Fritz Mesh Set 4200»
The «Fritz Mesh Set 4200» includes either two or three «Fritz Repeater 3000 AX».
Mesh network independent of the router
However, this is not a simple repeater bundle. There are two Gigabit LAN connections on the back of the repeaters. You use them to connect devices without Wi-Fi or as a direct connection to your router or fibre optic modem. The repeater connected to the router in this way can serve as a Mesh master. This is the special feature of the mesh set.
You use the mesh master to define the Wi-Fi name, password, parental control settings and guest access. It is also responsible for synchronising other Mesh repeaters or access points and controlling the connection of all devices. The Fritz interface provides you with detailed information about your network and the connected devices.
If your existing router doesn't offer enough setting options, you can use the set to add Fritz functionality to your network even without a Fritzbox router.
Improve your Wi-Fi coverage
In addition, the system has all the advantages of a normal repeater. In larger homes, Wi-Fi coverage is often not ideal in every corner. In addition, a large number of Wi-Fi devices can slow down the network. Mesh repeaters are ideal for such cases. They increase the range and data throughput of your Wi-Fi network and ensure that the data packs from all your devices reach their destination as quickly as possible.
The tri-band Wi-Fi repeaters in the set contain three wireless modules - one in the 2.4 gigahertz frequency band and two in the 5 gigahertz band. This results in a total data rate of up to 4200 Mbit/s. The three radio units enable the parallel transmission of data via different frequency bands. According to the manufacturer, the repeaters always use the most efficient path and thus help to ensure that the load is evenly distributed even with high data volumes.
5G router: «Fritzbox 6860 5G»
Broadband internet is still often not available, especially in rural areas. In contrast, the expansion of the 5G network is making good progress in many of these areas. With a 5G router such as the «Fritzbox 6860 5G», you can make the fast mobile communications standard available to all your devices.
With the help of 5G, you can give your devices speeds of up to 1.3 gigabit/s for downloads and up to 900 Mbit/s for uploads under optimal conditions. However, this also depends on your mobile phone contract, the distance to the 5G mobile phone mast and, last but not least, the location of the router.
The «Fritzbox 6860 5G» is not tied to a fixed address: Depending on your mobile phone contract, you can use the Fritzbox anywhere - a power socket is all you need.
The housing of the Fritzbox is certified to protection class IP54 and is therefore protected against dust and splash water. For better reception, you can also mount the router in a protected outdoor area or directly on the window thanks to the included adhesive pads.
The Fritzbox 6860 5G receives power via Power-over-Ethernet, i.e. via the Gigabit LAN connection. Repeaters or other routers for better coverage indoors can be connected via the additional Gigabit LAN connection on the power supply unit.
According to the manufacturer, the router is equipped with four internal MIMO antennas for all 5G and 4G mobile phone bands. This means that it can transmit four data streams independently of each other, which improves the data rate. You can see the quality of mobile network reception at the current location on the LED display.
