Increasing the Range of the WLAN Connection

9.4 Increasing the Range of the WLAN Connection

The range of a WLAN radio network is influenced by various

external circumstances. The following factors have an espe-

cially strong influence on the distance over which your

FRITZ!Box can establish a stable, high-throughput wireless

connection:

• the WLAN device used

• structural conditions

• the number of devices operating near the access point in

the same frequency range.

If needed, you can extend the range of your WLAN radio net-

work with a WLAN repeater, for instance with the FRITZ!WLAN

Repeater N/G or FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 300E from AVM. A

WLAN repeater is a supplementary device that is not included

in the FRITZ!Box package.

Instead of using a WLAN repeater, you can set up a Wireless

Distribution System. For this you need, in addition to the

FRITZ!Box, another WLAN access point that is configured as a

WDS repeater (see page 48).

Using the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater

With the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater N/G from AVM you can extend

the range of your WLAN radio network quickly and easily, for

instance to overcome structural conditions that are character-

ized by thick materials and heavy shielding. The FRITZ!WLAN

Repeater N/G supports all common WLAN standards, is espe-

cially easy to install and can be operated at any 230-V power

outlet. For more information on the FRITZ!WLAN

Repeater N/G, see the web site at:
