Benefits of Mesh
Combining all wireless radio networks into one big wireless radio
network brings many benefits to the FRITZ!Box home network:
•
Powerful Wi-Fi through AP Steering
Mesh enables optimized information exchange among the FRITZ!
devices and thus provides for faster and more stable wireless
connections. The Mesh Master (FRITZ!Box) uses AP steering
(Access Point steering) automatically to ensure that wireless
devices in the Mesh always connect with the home network via the
best access point.
•
Shared settings
As Mesh Master, the FRITZ!Box transfers all wireless LAN settings
to the Mesh Repeaters: wireless network name (SSID), network
key, wireless guest access and wireless schedule. This way you
only have to set up a single wireless connection on your smart
phones, tablets, and notebooks to gain access to the home
network and the FRITZ!Box's internet connection.
Settings for push services, automatic updates and AVM services
are also shared in the Mesh.
•
Central home network overview
The Mesh Overview in the FRITZ!Box user interface shows you
which devices in the home and guest network are active, how they
are connected with each other, and which throughput rates are
available over the individual connections.
You can check in the Mesh Overview whether any updates are
available for FRITZ! devices. Updates can be started directly in the
Mesh Overview.
