Connecting Computers Wirelessly via WLAN
If the WLAN Device Does Not Support WPA
If your WLAN device does not support WPA encryption, you
must convert the encryption set in the FRITZ!Box to WEP. For
this you must change the WLAN settings in the FRITZ!Box.
1.
Connect the FRITZ!Box and the computer using the net-
work cable (yellow) (see the section
Connecting Compu-
ters to the LAN Port on page 23
).
2.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see the section
Opening the User Interface on page 31
3.
Select the “WLAN / Security” menu.
4.
Then select WEP encryption and enter a network key.
5.
Click the “Apply” button.
A window is displayed with the WLAN security settings.
6.
Make a note of the settings or print out the page.
7.
Close the user interface and clear the connection be-
tween the FRITZ!Box and the computer. Remove the net-
work cable (yellow).
8.
Configure your WLAN device with the security settings
entered in the FRITZ!Box.
The WLAN connection between your WLAN device and the
FRITZ!Box will be established.
We strongly recommend using a WLAN device that supports
WPA or WPA2 (for instance, a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick from
AVM). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can be
deciphered within minutes.
