FritzBox as a repeater for Speedport?
Hello,
I want to set up my old FritzBox as a repeater for my Speedport Smart 4, but when I select the network I want to extend the Wi-Fi to, mine is "hidden" in light gray, and I can't select it. Mine is, how can I select it? Is it possible, or do I need to configure something in my Speedport's settings? A LAN connection isn't possible.
Thank you in advance
It works, but it doesn't make any sense.
In general, it rarely makes sense to let routers do the job of a repeater.
Then your Fritz!Box may be so old that it can no longer cope with the Wi-Fi generation used by the Speedport.

Hello,
Please configure according to these instructions : https://avm.de/service/wissensbibliothek/dok/FRITZ-Box-7560/1040_Vorhandener-Zugang-uber-WLAN-in-FRIT…
Rather here, there is a different Fritz!Box, maybe this will work: https://avm.de/service/wissenskatalog/dok/FRITZ-Box-7390/1192_FRITZ-Box-als-WLAN-Repeater-einsetze…
Otherwise you should find the right one for your Speedport here .

Here you can select your Fritzbox and see what works (or not):
