Speedport Hybrid: These repeaters work with the router

If you want to buy a repeater for your Speedport Hybrid, you are spoiled for choice. We show you which devices are compatible.

Repeater for the Speedport Hybrid: which one can I take?

As a rule, every repeater is compatible with every router. The repeater receives the WLAN signal from the router and sends it out again with a gain. This increases the range of your WLAN.
If routers and repeaters come from the same manufacturer, in some cases this only simplifies the one-time setup. Deutsche Telekom's only repeater, the Speedport W100 Repeater, is no longer produced. So you have to use a repeater from other manufacturers if it is no longer available online. At the moment there are still a few copies left.

Regardless of whether Netgear, AVM, Devolo, D-Link or TP-Link, almost all repeaters perform well. In the following CHIP test you will find out which repeaters are really good for you.
A basic distinction is made between repeaters with and without a LAN connection. Models with a LAN connection are sometimes a few euros more expensive, but offer a decisive advantage: via a LAN connection, you get the full signal and not an already weakened signal at the repeater location. With a LAN connection, you can also set up the repeater where no WLAN signal is currently available.

In the next practical tip, we will show you what to look out for when setting up a WiFi repeater.
