needed:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu and select “Ad-
just radio channel settings” to make the desired changes.

of higher throughput rates—is possible only if the wireless
LAN connection is secured using the WPA2 security mecha-
nism (AES-CCMP).
