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-
ating system used. Each computer to be connected to the
FRITZ!Box via WLAN must be equipped with a compatible
WLAN adapter, for instance the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.
Many modern computers and notebooks have an integrat-
ed WLAN adapter.

AVM Stick & Surf
If you are using the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N, the
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4 or the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
by AVM as a WLAN adapter, you can establish a secure
WLAN connection quickly and conveniently using the AVM
Stick & Surf technology.
1.
Switch on your computer.
2.
Insert your FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into one of the USB
ports on the FRITZ!Box.
The WLAN security settings are transmitted automati-
cally to the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. The “Info” LED on
the FRITZ!Box begins flashing rapidly.
As soon as the “Info” LED stops flashing, transmis-
sion of the settings has been concluded.
3.
Remove the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick from the device.
4.
Now insert the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into the USB
port on your computer.
The security settings saved on the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
are applied to the computer. Now the FRITZ!Box and
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick are connected with each other wire-
lessly.
