Mesh – Extend your home network with FRITZ!

Mesh – included with FRITZ!.

Wi-Fi at home is the best! But it's not so great when reception is weak in some rooms. The solution in this case is called Mesh. This technology is a major topic in home networking. The good news is that you already have Mesh networking at home with FRITZ!

Mesh – what does it really mean?

Sometimes a Wi-Fi network alone is not enough for the entire building. Reception can be slower or suffer dropouts in some rooms. Mesh networking does the following: Multiple devices generate multiple Wi-Fi networks, which are combined to form a single, meshed network. Conveniently, the entire Wi-Fi shares only one name and password.

With Mesh networking it is easy to enjoy high speeds while surfing, streaming video or gaming – seamless even in the remotest corners of every room.

Wi-Fi networks from S to XL

Mesh lets you expand your home network to the size you need it:

small to medium-size apartments on one floor

medium-size apartments/houses on one to two floors

or more: large apartments/houses with multiple storeys

Mesh has a lot to offer.

The synergy of telephony, smart home, and Mesh

You can use all phone numbers set up in the Mesh Master on any other FRITZ!Box configured as a Mesh Repeater. The practical part is, all answering machines, call forwarding, call blocking, dialling rules and phone books continue to be set up and managed centrally on the Mesh Master.

The same applies to all smart home devices that are registered with a Mesh Repeater. Here, too, the Mesh Master takes over the central management. This allows smart home devices on the Mesh Master to be grouped and switched together with smart home devices on a Mesh Repeater, for example.
