FRITZ!Repeater reports 'Wi-Fi transmission quality increased by reduced channel bandwidth'
The following message is displayed in the event log of the FRITZ!Repeater:
- 'Wi-Fi transmission quality increased by reduced channel bandwidth (2.4 GHz)'
Cause
- In environments with many other 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi networks, the FRITZ!Repeater automatically reduces the channel bandwidth in the 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi network from 40 MHz to 20 MHz. By temporarily reducing the channel bandwidth, Wi-Fi connections in the 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi network are disturbed less and the user data rate of the connections is increased.
1 Optimizing the Wi-Fi settings of the Mesh Master
Optimize the Wi-Fi network of the FRITZ!Repeater (Mesh Master) so that it automatically selects the best Wi-Fi channel for the given situation and, if necessary, can steer wireless devices from the 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi network to the 5-GHz Wi-Fi network or a different wireless access point:
- Set up the FRITZ!Repeater (Mesh Master) as described in the guide Optimizing the Wi-Fi network of the FRITZ!Repeater.
