FRITZ!Box as a Wireless Access Point
The FRITZ!Box is a wireless access point for wireless devices like note-
books, tablets or smartphones. The FRITZ!Box can establish wireless
LAN connections compliant with the fast Wireless N standard. The
FRITZ!Box is preconfigured with an encryption method from today’s
safest method WPA2. This encryption method is supported by most of
the latest wireless devices. The FRITZ!Box supports wireless LAN con-
venience functions like night service and WPS quick connect.

Connecting Wireless LAN Devices Securely with the FRITZ!Box
In a wireless LAN radio network security is of the utmost im-
portance. This is why wireless LAN connections between the
FRITZ!Box and your devices are encrypted. For encryption the
FRITZ!Box and your wireless devices must use the same en-
cryption method.
The FRITZ!Box is preconfigured with today’s safest method
WPA2. This encryption method is supported by most of the
latest wireless devices.
If you would like to use wireless devices that do not support
WPA2 or WPA, you can switch encryption in the FRITZ!Box to
the older, less secure WEP method. You can also establish
non-encrypted wireless LAN connections. However, if at all
possible we recommend always establishing WPA2 wireless
LAN connections.
Wireless devices can be connected with the FRITZ!Box auto-
matically or manually. A particularly simple and secure auto-
matic method is WPS, with which a wireless LAN connection
can be established at the touch of a button. For manual wire-
less LAN connections with the FRITZ!Box use the wireless LAN
software of your wireless device or the wireless LAN program
on your computer.
