Question about AVM FRITZ!Repeater 1200 AX

You have 2 options for connecting to the repeater. 1 . Possibility via Mesh Pairing Press 1x on the repeater and then press the WBS button on the router. 2. Possible is to connect via the interface of the repeater with the router, for this you need the ip address of the repeater is enclosed in the package. Otherwise inform yourself via the FRITZ!Box web.

Hello
I would highly recommend the Swisscom WLAN-Box 2, as it is a Swissom router (https://community.swisscom.ch/t5...). The AVM Fritz! repeater is a great thing. But you already have a Swisscom router, and that's where the Swisscom WLAN-Box comes into its own. This is mesh-capable for Swisscom Mesh, so I would only look at that. It's best to connect it via the bridge mode. That means feeding it in via network cable. If you have a Fritzbox, however, I would only use the AVM Repater, as it is mesh-capable according to the AVM mesh standard. As far as I know, there is no mesh-compatible standard among the manufacturers. The AVM repeater works great, but the killer catch is the mesh and the devices have to be from the same manufacturer.

I had the WLAN-Box2 with Mesh in operation at my father's, because it was a Swisscom router. It worked very well. Then he changed and I bought the repeater from AVM 1200 ax and used it in mesh mode - it also worked very well. But the router has to talk to the repeater with the same protocol and according to my knowledge there is no industry standard, or not yet.

Mesh is great because it enables a handover from input to input. You have the same network everywhere. No read network on and select and less frequencies which are used for it. You walk to the first, second, third floor or the basement and always the same network, same frequency.
