Digiweb Fritzbox Mesh

I have digiweb too and I'm on a Fritzbox 7530 with a Fritz 1200 repeater.

This Fritzbox supports both 2.4 and 5GHz wireless networks so does the repeater. The 5GHz is what gives you the fast speeds. On the downside the 5GHz has a lower range and doesnt like obstacles much.

So you have a few factors here.

Configuration: One can give the 2.4 and 5GHZ networks different names so then you have manual control which on you're logged into with your device/phone. Or else you give them the same name and the mesh decides based on signal strength which network to offer to any given device requesting access. This is the mesh way as I understand it.

Repeater Connection: Secondly unless you're having a wired connection between the two Fritzboxes they may also chose either network depending on signal strength factors to talk to each other. So if your main Fritzbox which has the internet connection only talks to the repeater Fritzbox via 2.4GHz cos the repeater is tucked away upstairs somewhere or so then all the devices connected to the repeater box wont have full speed of course. If you cant have a real good connection between the two like line of sight then wired is always the champ. Of course that may not always be possible,

Lastly your phones/devices need to support both 2.4 and 5 too obviously.

In my house it looks like this. I dont have a full second Fritzbox I just have the AVM 1200 wireless repeater but I have basically line of sight between the main box and the repeater. Main box at the fibre point downstairs and repeater just up the stairs on the landing wall.

As you can see you need to see 2.4/5 → 800something between main and repeater. And you need to see the mesh symbol on each of the two as in the little blue dotted triangles.

Ye the internet speeds on what is connected to the repeater box will always be maxxed at what you get between the main box and the repeater box regardless of what the numbers on the right are suggesting. The connection in your picture is actually at 5GHz (2.4 max is 150 MBits) but the connection is not ideal hence only 233 MBits and not 800something. The mesh connection is the bottleneck.

Maybe you can move the two closer to each other find a better spot for the repeater box? Or make it wired ideally?

are you going to contribute or just spam every broadband thread?

To be fair this is a thread about digiweb stuff. But ye why not contribute to the thread?
