Mesh with FRITZ! explained in a nutshell

FRITZ! Mesh designates a powerful, interference-free Wi-Fi network with maximum speed even for demanding network environments – without disruptions or latencies!

Thick walls, disruptive radio signals or elongated floor plans - sometimes the Wi-Fi network of the FRITZ!Box does not reach all remote corners of a home or office network. In order to benefit from fast Wi-Fi even under challenging spatial conditions, you can deploy additional FRITZ! products. Thanks to Mesh Wi-Fi technology the wireless networks of all connected FRITZ! products are combined into a single Wi-Fi network at the press of a button.

Brief video explanation of Mesh

The Centrepiece: The Mesh Master

As the Mesh Master, the FRITZ!Box or selected FRITZ!Repeaters act as the central hub in the Mesh, while all other FRITZ! wireless access points of FRITZ! work as Mesh Repeaters. All connected Mesh Repeaters adopt the Wi-Fi network settings of the Mesh Master. If an update is available for any of the connected FRITZ! products, you can install it directly from the Mesh Overview. You can also manage and control connected smart home devices via the Mesh Master.

When temperatures are warm, your customers want to work in the garden or on the patio? Temporarily insert a Mesh Repeater near the window so that the Wi-Fi reaches outside. The Mesh settings remain intact, no matter how often you change the position of the Mesh Repeater.

Find out which FRITZ!Repeaters can be used as Mesh Masters and whether a Mesh Set or a single FRITZ!Repeater is the better choice for your customers in our article “Mesh Set or Repeater”.
