Connecting to the Web Router via LAN Cable
You can use a LAN cable to connect the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater to your
wireless access point or to a web router without wireless LAN func-
tionality.
Use this connection option in the following cases:
•
The web router does not support wireless LAN.
•
The wireless access point (web router) and the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater are too far away from each other for a wire-
less LAN connection.
•
Structural conditions, for instance concrete ceilings, prevent es-
tablishing a wireless LAN connection.
7.1
When Connecting via LAN Is Advisable
Connecting via LAN is advisable when you cannot or do not
want to establish a wireless LAN connection between the web
router (for instance FRITZ!Box) and the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater.
This may be, for instance, because:
•
The web router does not support wireless LAN.
•
The web router is too far away from the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater.
•
Structural conditions (for instance concrete ceilings)
prevent establishing a wireless LAN connection.
7.2
Connecting via LAN Cable or Power Lines
If you do now want to lay any long LAN cables, you can extend
your LAN cable via the home’s own internal wiring using
FRITZ!Powerline.
