I have the Fritz! WLAN repeater plugged into the socket and connected via WPS my fiber optic router and the repeater.
The repeater shows a WLAN connection but the FritzBox repeater is not displayed on my mobile phone or on my laptop.
The repeater amplifies the original signal. You just have to log in to your network as normal.
Um, yeah, that's just what I finally realized 😂 on my other repeater (Dymond) I had to register on the Dymond network, thank you!
If he is connected, he has no own network, but his name is like your previous WLAN. If you want to see if he is connected, you can log on fritz.box on your Fritzbox and see if you can find the repeater under connected devices.
No thing! If you have a Fritz box, you can also check with the current update, if a so-called mesh is set up. If not, googling once.
