Connecting Computer(s) Wirelessly via WLAN
Using WLAN you can connect one or multiple computers
with the FRITZ!Box wirelessly.
The wireless WLAN connection is independent of the oper-

FRITZ!Box via WLAN must be equipped with a compatible
WLAN adapter, for instance the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.

ed WLAN adapter.
