FRITZ! Repeater 1200 AX
2400 Mbit/s, 600 Mbit/s
Question about FRITZ! Repeater 1200 AX
I wanted to use this repeater to achieve WiFi amplification with a Livebox 5 router (not a Fritzbox). It is exasperating. Neither wps nor manual connection works. Although the display is permanently green (connection!), not the slightest bit of Internet can be received. I follow the setup wizard step by step and it reports setup completed: but then it's dead again! What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
Your problem is difficult to analyse without further details.
Can you connect to the repeater via its IP address?
Does the repeater use the same wifi network name (SSID) as your box or does it keep its own name? If the latter, try to connect using its own name, which, unless I'm mistaken, is printed on the packaging.

What you are writing is far too unspecific. Just take a look at https://monserveurnas.com/de... and realise for yourself that you have a "cheap device" as a router that is not compatible with top AVM devices.
A basic principle of all people who have the relevant knowledge (I am professionally familiar with your "subject matter" ...) actually only has one suggestion to make:
Only use network hardware from the same manufacturer ... and you will experience that almost all problems will disappear into thin air ...
Good luck with your "thinking" and making the right decision.

Thanks bobo1230 for the quick answer. After restarting the repeater I have access with the Ip address and can configure it. After that I only see the wifi of my router (Livebox 5) and can no longer access the repeater. It shows permanent green (connection!) but does not connect to wifi. I have followed the instructions several times (even with Lan bridge)...
