Fritz repeater no stable LAN connection?
Hello, I don't have a LAN connection in my room, so I bought a Fritz!Box repeater to connect my PC there, but the connection is often very unstable, and it's actually better with Wi-Fi these days. Is there anything I can do?
You just have to configure it correctly. As a Wi-Fi bridge. Then the Fritzrepeater gets the WLAN via radio and then forwards it to the Gigabit network socket. And then the Fritzrepeater also has to go to the Mesh, see here: https://avm.de/mesh/faqs/fritzrepeater-im-mesh-installation/
The only solution would be to transfer a Lan cable, just as high as the cost.
The Repeather is nothing but a range extension in the WLan.
thus expand your Wlan radius, but at the same time allow the more remote receiver to record your WLan signal, hack and track.
A Lan cable is relatively reliable due to the shielding. If you want to listen, you have to get very close to the cable and that would be immediately noticeable.
Use Lan cables of category 6,6e or higher. No Lan connection Cat 5 or lower.

The less a Lan cable shielded, the more disturbing influences can act on the Lan cable and thus the connection weakened. You should also pay attention to the fact that the Lan cable from the router should be 40 meters long. Longer connections therefore require an amplifier Repeather. There are models that can strengthen up to 2Km line length and can be cascaded. Don’t think you’re 10Km away from your internet connection
ok, unfortunately, that is truly not possible
Where there’s a will. Problems are usually made only by themselves.
He’s using the repeater. of the PC not as a repeater, but via its Ethernet port virtually directly engages the client connection of the repeater.
Sounds like your repeater has bad reception.
Yeah – Ne – it’s clear.
Repeater = WLAN. 🤷 ♂️
It means directly via the WLAN adapter of the PC.
Where is the router positioned in the building?
What kind of router is it?
What is Fritz Repeater?
What signal strength does this indicate?
The router is right under my room so it lights on the repeater is always green and also stable.
Router: AVM 7490
Repeater: AVM FRITZ!Repeater 1200 AX
I just don’t know if the 1200 mesh can. If so, then put it in the router as a mesh (if this is not yet the case).
In addition, look at how the connection quality is in the web interface of the Fritzbox. Everything is very clear (have the same router).
This is not a question of faith. You can check the Fritzbox web interface. Either on the router as well as on the repeater the symbol for “mesh active” is available or not.
Are there any more repeaters in your network? I once had the situation that one of my repeaters was unfavorably coupled to the router or another router, and so there was an unstable connection.
the last time I looked after was all super and in the mesh really it is credible all is good and yet it is sometimes (before late) bad, before all went super
I’m gonna keep looking
Put the repeater somewhere else
He won’t use anything. Direct Lan connection is more stable, quicker and better.
He even says that it runs better with the WLAN from the PC than with the Ethernet connection of the repeater. It makes sense to post the repeater differently, i.d.R. the reception of the repeater should be better than that of most PC WLAN modules.
And a direct Ethernet connection would, of course, be better, but it does not have it at the moment and can’t make it without much effort, so the discussion about it does nothing.
You don’t know. He can try.
No, you’ll get 1000 Mbit/s full duplex over a Cat 5e cable as long as the Ethernet Sync isn’t disturbed and that’s almost never happening – especially in short lengths. Furthermore, the category of the Ethernet cable does not necessarily say anything about its shielding.
However, most connections can also be made usable via WLAN today, and you must have a cost-benefit weighing at the end.
If you take unshielded Lan line where interference influences can scatter freely via frequencies such as power cable and Wlan transmitter/receiver is clearly that the connection via Lan is worse than via WLan.
Cat 6.6e ,7 or higher is the magic word. Unfortunately, you can only recognize on the print on the line which cable you have.

Especially since the FS has not even written what Lan Cable he used. Is the same as asking someone you drive a car and you say YES. There is not even the info available WELCHES AUTO you are driving!
Very good In so far as it shows that the WLan is not everything and many like to have this desire, the reality however shows that this is not feasible and one on alternative evasive MUSS. even if you don’t have it at first. Then you have to create these possibilities. Many shy it, however, because a repeater is much easier and easier to set up than with cable duct, nail clamps and possibly drilling breakthrough, dropping etc. to create a Lan connection. You know that you can only dream the fewest dreams go to fulfillment.
The larger the room the more points and possibilities you have to change the Repeather .This can take quite a long time. First change then test connection, re-request connection again. All this costs time and even in 10 seconds a Repeatrher has not even initialized himself!
I think you seem to have a mistake of thinking in this matter.
Why should it take hours? I took 10 seconds. You’re a little slow
Wlan is always problematic. He can kill his repeater for hours where he wants. What if that doesn’t help? . Then he has spent hours for Nothing!
And the neighbors are looking forward to free internet.
