AVM Repeater
Pro
- WiFi 6
- Mesh technology
- Easy integration £/ configuration
Contra
- Position of the plug exactly in the middle of the unit, covers more than 1 slot
Fast small repeater
The 1200AX was integrated into an existing WLAN consisting of the Fritz!Box 7490 (ground floor) and the Fritz!WLAN Repeater 1750E (upper floor). The 1200AX now works in the basement. The installation and integration into the WLAN mesh only took a few minutes and was uncomplicated. The 1200AX automatically took over all existing settings from the Fritz!Box. The only disadvantage is the design of the box. It is a small but clunky block that can hardly be installed sensibly on wall sockets. If the desired socket is under a light switch, it is completely covered and can no longer be used. The same applies to 3-socket outlets frequently used in Switzerland. Here, too, the other sockets are no longer accessible. Very impractical!
Pro
- Quick installation
- Stable and fast internet
Contra
- The design of the box is impractical
Good repeater. Also replaces the "old" ones in terms of range. This means fewer devices required
Pro
- plug it in, let it set up, done, as usual from AVM
- also works without Fritzbox, e.g. Swisscom router
Contra
- If light switch above, then unsuitable because you can no longer reach it
Very good device for my modest requirements (no streaming)
Simple beautiful design
Pro
- Very simple installation
- At night: remove the device from the socket, plug it in again in the morning. Works without any problems.

Pro
- Good transmission strength
- Perfect in combination with Fritzbox (Mesh)

Simple, efficient WLAN repeater. Plug it in, press the button(s) and it's up and running.
This repeater comes in a small 10 cm cube as packaging. (Digitec provides a cardboard box that would have room for 6 such repeaters, there is no filler material...).
Integration into the mesh of a Fritz!Box is really simple: Plug the Fritz!Repeater into a power socket near the Fritz!Box, briefly press the red button on the repeater, press the WLAN/WPS button on the Fritz!Box for at least 6 seconds (actually until the WLAN LED on the FB starts flashing). Done.
As is well known, the AVM mesh has the advantage that repeaters automatically adopt all values from the FB, i.e. not only the SSID and passwords, but also, for example, the WLAN switch-off times, the IP range, etc. The repeater can also be connected to the Fritz!Box.
You could also set all this individually on the repeater itself. The box gets its own IP, which is used to call up the interface of the repeater in the browser. The GUI looks like on a Fritz!Box, limited to the network, WLAN and system settings part including OS update options (e.g. you can also find an event log to check which Mac addresses have connected to the repeater). A nice gimmick is the possibility to switch off the LED completely in case someone wants to plug it in in the bedroom.
If one had to name one point of criticism, it would be the lack of an on/off switch. I would like to leave the block plugged into the socket, for example, but it doesn't have to shine 7x24 hours. A simple switch would be practical for this (of course, you can also simulate this with a power strip...).Pro
- 2-pole power plug
- Integration in mesh very simple
- Flat ribbon LAN cable enclosed
Contra
- Conceals all 3 places on the wall socket at once
- Has no on/off switch
