Hello my curent problem is that the wifi range is too small at my place and where my parents live.

Both of us use a fritzbox:
1. 7490 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz both with different ssid
2. 7112 only 2,4Ghz 1xssid


Which repeater should i but for the Fritzbox 7112, while keeping the autochannel functionality?

AVM does offer a wide range of repeaters but at an extreme price, are there any "ok"-ish ones that work together with their boxes?


I do like the tp-link and netgear switches yet i don't want to buy blindly and lose auto channel..

All modern devices should support auto-channel.

I've setup the Fritz 1750E repeater at my mom's house among others from other vendors and the Fritz one is clearly the best.

@W1zzard Thanks for the fast reply will buy one for the 7490...

went ape sh1t when i saw that the 7112 (rebranded box) does only old stlye 54MB/s wifi up for a replacement :-(

i will go with a cheap 7272 from ebay i think, just loosing autochannel is no option because of wifi congestion
