WLAN security settings
In the FRITZ!Box WLAN security settings are enabled ex
works. Before a computer can establish a wireless con-
nection to the FRITZ!Box, the WLAN security settings of
the FRITZ!Box must be transferred to the WLAN device.
Establishing a WLAN Connection Using WPS
The FRITZ!Box supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WLAN
devices that also support WPS can be connected with your
FRITZ!Box securely using this method. All of the necessary
WLAN security settings are transferred in the process. There
are two kinds of WPS: the push-button method and the PIN
method.
WPS with the Push-Button Method
The push-button method (WPS PBC) can be used if your WLAN
device is also equipped with a WPS button, or if WPS can be
enabled via the control software of the WLAN device.
1. Press the “WLAN” button on the FRITZ!Box and hold it
down for at least six seconds.
2. As soon as the “WLAN” LED begins flashing, enable the
WPS function on the other WLAN device, either by press-
ing a button or in the device’s user interface (depending
on the device). Activation must be started within two
minutes.
The FRITZ!Box and the WLAN device now connect with each
other automatically. The WLAN device adopts the security set-
tings of the FRITZ!Box.
As soon as the WLAN connection has been established the
computer is connected to the FRITZ!Box.
For more information on WLAN, see the section FRITZ!Box as
a WLAN Base Station from page 72 .
