If the possibilities listed above are not available to you,
then establish the wireless connection manually.

Establishing a Connection Using WPS

Prerequisites

To connect the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater with your WLAN ac-
cess point using WPS, the following prerequisites must be
met:

All of the devices involved must support WPS and
WPS must be enabled.

The access point must support the WPA/WPA2 en-
cryption standard.

The SSID (network name) of the access point must be
set to “visible” (announced).

The WPS function must be enabled.

Any active MAC address filter must be disabled tem-
porarily to establish the connection.

Establishing a

Connection

To connect the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater with a FRITZ!Box via
WPS, please keep the following instructions in mind:

1.

Make sure that your FRITZ!Box has the latest firmware
installed.

2.

Select the “push-button method (WPS-PBS)” setting
in the FRITZ!Box. This setting is located in the “Set-
tings / Advanced Settings / WLAN / Security” menu
on the “WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) - Quick Connec-
tion” settings page.

3.

Once you have connected the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater,
the display shows a circle, the WPS connection icon.

4.

Press in the center of the circle.
