FritzBox! Router

[LeeUK]

Anyone know if you mesh together 2 or 3 FritzBox routers, will they daisy chain together e.g. will one send the WiFi from one mesh to another mesh in weak areas or do each mesh only communicate directly to the master FritzBox router?

If you use the Fritzbox 3000 mesh extenders then yes, it’s a true mesh.

I have a 3 Fritzbox router mesh setup.

In my case, they both link to the master router.

But, I think I understand you right, you can link router 1 to router 2 and router 2 to router 3 in the mesh.

Yeah as above says it’s a true mesh.

I’ve got the router and two 3000 mesh extenders and it’s works well in all honesty.

Range on them isn’t super duper high, two cover upstairs nicely.

If I was being picky I’d had one downstairs + the router and the whole house would be covered.

(Baring in mind it’s quite a large house, and all 3 router positions are very suboptimal).

Thanks all,

I have a FritzBox 7530 master router plus 2 separate FritzBox 7530's set in mesh mode. Just I'm not sure if one mesh will connect to the other mesh in weak areas without having to buy the Fritz 300 repeaters.

I also have acquired a third FritzBox 7530 which I haven't utilised yet.

I don’t believe they will. They will operate as bridges from one router to another but not in a true mesh. You need the Fritzbox 3000 units for that. They are quite pricey though.
