Two WLAN repeaters at the same time - how to improve reception

The transmission power of WLAN routers is limited and often not enough to ideally cover the whole home. However, with the help of a WLAN repeater, you have the option of boosting your router's signal so that you can surf everywhere at full speed.

Setting up WLAN repeaters - what to look out for

Current routers, such as the FRITZ!Box 7590, can be connected and interact with several repeaters at the same time without any problems.To avoid difficulties during setup, these tips and tricks will help you:

• In order to place the repeaters as effectively as possible, it's advisable to identify the radio holes in advance. Would you like to use several repeaters, you should make sure that their transmission ranges overlap as little as possible or not at all.
• To avoid problems during installation, it is recommended to set up the repeaters in order.
• When installing, make sure above all that the frequency ranges of the individual devices do not overlap. Overlap the frequency ranges, it can namely come to reception interference. How many overlap-free channels you have available depends on the frequency range. The 2.4 GHz range, for example, has only four overlap-free channels, the 5 GHz range, on the other hand, offers significantly more possibilities.

This is what you should pay attention to when buying a WLAN repeater

To avoid compatibility problems among repeaters, it is recommended to use devices from only one manufacturer. Also make sure that the repeater supports the same frequency ranges as the router and has cross-band repeating for high transmission speeds. You can get inexpensive repeater sets online for as little as 25 euros.
