Enabling Mesh for FRITZ! Devices

The Mesh icon identifies the FRITZ! devices for which Mesh is enabled. If a FRITZ!Repeater or a FRITZ!Powerline device with Wi-Fi functionality is displayed without the Mesh icon, enable Mesh for this device.

Mesh combines the individual Wi-Fi networks of FRITZ! devices that support Wi-Fi into a single, efficient Wi-Fi network. The FRITZ!Box is the hub of the Wi-Fi network, the Mesh Master. The other devices (Mesh Repeaters) automatically adopt the Wi-Fi network settings from the Mesh Master: Wi-Fi network name (SSID), network key, schedule, guest access, Wi-Fi channel.
