Transferring the Wireless LAN Security Settings
Manually
The wireless LAN security settings for wireless devices can al-
so be transferred manually. Manual transfer is unavoidable if
a wireless LAN device does not support any methods for
transferring the security settings automatically.
For manual transfer the wireless LAN security settings have to
be entered in the wireless LAN software.
Wireless devices are generally delivered with their own wire-
less LAN software, which is installed in the computer along
with the wireless device. By now many operating systems
have wireless LAN software included. Integrated wireless de-
vices sometimes use the operating system’s wireless LAN
software.
Installing a Wireless LAN Device
If you need to use a separate wireless LAN device because
you do not have one integrated, then install the wireless LAN
device in the computer along with the corresponding wireless
LAN software. Please take note of the instructions in the doc-
umentation of the device.
Transferring Wireless LAN Security Settings

lish a wireless LAN connection using these values, then your
wireless LAN device must support the preset encryption
method. If this is not the case, first change the settings in the
FRITZ!Box. To do this, connect your computer and the
FRITZ!Box using a network cable.
