Verdict

The AVM FRITZ!Repeater 600 is a compact, entry-level single-band Wi-Fi extender designed to boost signal coverage on the 2.4 GHz frequency using the Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) standard. It features a high-performance 4x4 MIMO antenna configuration that delivers data transfer speeds up to 600 Mbit/s and supports WPA3/WPA2 encryption for modern security. Its primary advantages include its extremely small form factor—not much larger than a credit card—and its seamless integration into FRITZ! Mesh networks via a simple WPS button, while consuming a very low average of 2 watts of power. However, it is restricted to the 2.4 GHz band, lacks a 5 GHz radio for faster short-range throughput, and does not include any physical Ethernet ports for wired connections or Access Point mode.
