My Fritz! WLAN Repeater 600 is becoming a hindrance more than help. It's 2.4GHz only but most dual-band capable devices automatically switch to 5Ghz no matter how bad that signal is, ignoring the repeater. From what I've seen there's no way to override that.

 

Two questions then:

 

- Has anyone had a similar problem? How did you resolve it?

 

- Upgrading from 600 - Fritz! WLAN Repeater 1200 vs 1750e? The 1750e is older, but does seem to have a better radio unit?

I recently got one of the repeater 3000 through 2 degrees - seems pretty good so far.  Though I also just got a secondhand cheap 7490 off trademe, and if that works just as well in mesh mode I might send the repeater back.

I'm using a second hand 7490 in the house and a 7390 in a separate out building. Both as wired access points. 
That works fine and hands-over nicely

 

They have the mesh option, but since I could run cables I did.

 

Just realized this post is probably not much use so I'll try and tie it in :)

 

If you can get a second-hand 7390/7490 give that a go.
Easy set-up & I've heard/experienced good things
