5.2 Connecting Computers Wirelessly over Wireless LAN

Using wireless LAN radio technology you can connect multi-

ple computers with the FRITZ!Box wirelessly.

Please note the following before establishing a wireless con-

nection between the computer and the FRITZ!Box:

• Wireless device

A computer to be connected to the FRITZ!Box via wireless

LAN must support wireless LAN. This means it must be

equipped with a wireless LAN device. A wireless LAN de-

vice can be an external wireless LAN adapter—like a USB

stick, for example—or a device integrated in the comput-

er. Many modern computers and notebooks come with a

wireless LAN device integrated.

• Wireless LAN Security Settings

In the FRITZ!Box, wireless LAN security settings are en-

abled upon delivery. Before a computer can establish a

wireless connection to the FRITZ!Box, the wireless LAN

security settings of the FRITZ!Box must be transferred to

the wireless LAN device.

For this procedure the FRITZ!Box supports the two auto-

matic methods AVM Stick & Surf and WPS (Wi-Fi Protect-

ed Setup). The security settings can also be transferred

manually.

For more information on wireless LAN, see the section

FRITZ!Box as a Wireless Access Point from page 76.
