Hello everyone,
We have a single-family home with two floors (built on a slope, ground floor + basement). Our router is located in the basement in the utility room. We have a Wi-Fi repeater in the hallway on the ground floor, but the signal is very poor. Our internet connection speed is 50,000 (50,000), so it should work fine. Our PCs and TVs are connected to the internet directly via Ethernet cables and don’t rely on Wi-Fi. However, Wi-Fi coverage for phones and tablets on the ground floor is weak.
Can anyone recommend a repeater that offers better performance? Currently, we are using the TP Link RE 450 AC 1750.
There must be good options that can be connected to the internet via Ethernet cable and then broadcast Wi-Fi. I haven’t found any yet, but such devices must exist, right?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

I tested the 600 AVM as a repeater/mesh device on the same floor as the FritzBox, and the data rate and even the signal reception were much worse than before without the repeater. On the other hand, the 1200 as an access point in the mesh setup with LAN works excellently for the other floor. The handover works smoothly during VOIP calls without any issues, and the guest Wi-Fi also functions well. However, I have not tested high data rates, as 5GHz is inactive in my setup.

Since my previous post was removed due to an "unauthorized link" to AVM, here is my text again:
Hehe, all right
And as a replacement for the link
Just google the following sentence....

The Fritz devices should already work as a mesh network with the FritzBox. You probably don’t need to set anything up additionally.That would be even better
