Installing as a LAN -> WiFi bridge: FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/01/21
I have a bunch of [WayBack] FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E | Overview | AVM International devices; this is the quickest way to install them as LAN -> WiFi bridge (connect ethernet to your LAN; use the WiFi as a bridge).
- Connect the FRITZ!WLAN to your LAN
- Connect the FRITZ!WLAN to power
- Connect your laptop to the WiFi SSID
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750Ewith password00000000(that eight times a zero) - Set your laptop with a fixed IP address
192.168.178.127with netmask255.255.255.0and gateway192.168.178.2for WiFi. - Connect to your FRITZ!WLAN at http://192.168.178.2
- Setup your FRITZ!WLAN for the first time (password, country) and have it reboot
- Logon to the FRITZ!WLAN
- Change the WiFI password and the SSID for 2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz channels (I use a different SSID for both as many Fritz!Box devices have both bad 2.4Ghz performance and a hard time to automatically switch from 2.4Ghz to 5.0Ghz on the same SSID automagically).
- Change your laptop to use DHCP on WiFi
- Reconnect to the Fritz!Box with the new SSID and password
