Testing the WLAN Connection Without Security Settings
Testing the WLAN Connection Without Security
Settings
Disable the WLAN security settings to test whether a WLAN
connection between the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN adapter is
possible at all.
1. Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network
cable. Proceed as described in the section “Connect-
ing Computer(s) to the LAN Port” from page 18.
2. Open the user interface in a web browser. Proceed as
described in the section “Opening the User Interface”
on page 29.
3. In the “Advanced Settings / WLAN / Security” menu
and select “Enable Access without Encryption”. As a
final step, click “Apply”.
4. Remove the network cable and try again to establish a
connection.
If the attempt to connect to the WLAN using the non-en-
crypted connection is not successful either, check the
installation of the WLAN adapter and contact the manufac-
turer of the WLAN adapter if necessary.
Enable WLAN encryption again after completing the tests.
Follow the steps listed above and then enable the kind of
encryption that was previously configured.
This non-secured condition should be used only for
testing, to find out whether a WLAN connection is
possible at all.
