FRITZ!Mesh works with every router and every modem, so you can use the system when you don't have a FRITZ!Box as well.
Number of stations
You determine the number of stations based on the size of your house. For small houses like a studio or apartment, you mostly only need 1 extra station. In larger houses, go for more stations.
