Connecting Wireless LAN Devices Securely with the FRITZ!Box
FRITZ!Box 3272 77
Connecting Wireless Devices Automatically (WPS)
Wireless devices that support the fast connection method
WPS can be connected with the FRITZ!Box automatically.
1. Start the WPS function of your wireless LAN device. Con-
sult the documentation of the device to find out how to
start WPS.
2. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your
FRITZ!Box and hold it down until the “WLAN” LED begins
flashing.
3. Your wireless LAN device and the FRITZ!Box now establish
a secure network connection automatically. The WLAN
LED on the FRITZ!Box stops flashing and remains on.
With this, the wireless LAN connection is established. Your
device is integrated into your home network and can use the
Internet connection of the FRITZ!Box.
Connecting Wireless Devices Manually
You can connect wireless devices with the FRITZ!Box manual-
ly. Wireless devices like notebooks, tablets and smartphones
use the wireless LAN software of their own operating system
for this connection. A wireless LAN adapter at the USB port of
your computer can use the wireless LAN software of your com-
puter or a wireless LAN program of its own. No matter what
program is used to establish the wireless LAN connection, the
principle is the same: the wireless LAN software searches for
a wireless radio network in the vicinity and, after authoriza-
tion with a network key, enables the wireless LAN connection
between the FRITZ!Box and your wireless device.
1. Make sure that the wireless LAN function of the
FRITZ!Box is enabled and the “WLAN” LED is on. If “wire-
less LAN” is not on, press the “WLAN” button briefly.
2. Start the wireless LAN software of your wireless device.
Consult the documentation of your wireless device for in-
structions.
3. Search for the wireless radio network of your FRITZ!Box.
Upon delivery this network is called “FRITZ!Box 3272”.
