Third-party reviews

What customers like about AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 310

  • Ethernet backhaul lets it connect to the router by cable.
  • Mesh support joins it to the main network.
  • The guest network keeps visitors apart from your own devices.
  • Roaming with 802.11k, 802.11v and 802.11r support helps devices switch between units.
  • Automatic firmware updates keep it current without effort.
  • WPA3 support protects the connection.

What customers don't like about AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 310

  • 300 Mbps on one band limits speed for large downloads.
  • With no 5 GHz band, it cannot use the less crowded airwaves.
  • Wi-Fi 4 is an older standard without OFDMA.
  • It is for indoor use only and should stay away from damp spots.

Verdict

The main limit of the AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 310 is simple: it runs on one band at 300 Mbps. It uses the older Wi-Fi 4 standard and has no 5 GHz band, so it cannot reach the faster side of a modern network. Where it earns its place is Ethernet backhaul, so it can link to the router by cable instead of over the air. A guest network keeps visitors off your main network, a handy extra for a shared flat. Mesh support, roaming, WPA3 security and an app round it out, along with updates that install themselves. The trade-off is that it is slow by today's standards, and it is for indoor use only. It suits someone who needs a basic signal for browsing and email in one room and wants a guest network.
