How to connect the Fritz WLAN repeater via WPS

If you have a poor WLAN signal in some rooms of your house, it makes sense to use a WLAN repeater. This is connected to a WLAN router and amplifies its signal, so that you also have a good WLAN signal in more distant rooms. If you have a Fritzbox and want to connect it to a WLAN repeater, this is done most quickly via WPS.

1. First, please plug the WLAN repeater into a power outlet to connect it to the mains.
2. Then press the WPS button of the repeater and hold it until the LED starts to flash at WLAN.
3. Now also press the WPS button of your Fritzbox router, so that both devices can connect to each other.
