AVM has announced the arrival in Spain of the FRITZ! Repeater 6000, Her first wireless repeater equipped with WiFi 6 connectivity that promises to offer us more versatility thanks to the manufacturer’s Mesh network technology.
With a vertical housing design, dimensions of 8.7 x 18.5 x 13.5 mm and the classic manufacturer’s white and red colors, the device is compatible with the standard WiFi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) promising speeds of up to 6 Gbps thanks to improvements such as OFDMA modulation with QAM-1024, although it also maintains compatibility with previous networks such as WiFi 4 and 5 (WiFi N and AC).
It is equipped with three radio units and 12 internal antennas of high gain to extend the coverage radius that are able to create a band in 2.4 GHz with 1,200 Mbps and two additional bands in 5 GHz with 2,400 Mbps each.
The FRITZ! Repeater 6000 allows you to create smart mesh networks combining various manufacturer’s wireless access points, such as routers, repeaters, PLC adapters, etc. on a single smart WiFi network. They all work in unison, exchange information and thus improve the performance of all wireless devices by automatically selecting the best available channels.
We can choose to use the device as an extender of a WiFi network already available, in which case it will copy the configuration data such as the SSID or the encryption (it is compatible with WPA3) of the existing network automatically, or it is also possible that we use it as wireless access point connected directly to the main router of the house to create a WiFi 6 network directly.
For this we will have to connect it using your 2.5 Gbps Ethernet LAN port, although another is also included 1 Gbps Ethernet to connect a NAS, PC, hard disk and other devices to the repeater via network cable.
