Establishing a WLAN Connection Manually
Installing a WLAN Adapter
If you are using a WLAN adapter from another manufacturer,
you can also establish the WLAN connection manually. To do
so, proceed as follows:
1.
Switch on your computer.
2.
Install the WLAN adapter in your computer along with
the appropriate software. Please take note of the in-
structions in the documentation of the adapter.
3.
In order to establish a WLAN connection to the
FRITZ!Box, you can use the WLAN software for the WLAN
adapter, or the WLAN software supplied with the operat-
ing system.
Establishing a Connection
The FRITZ!Box is delivered with preset values for WLAN securi-
ty. You must enter these values during the configuration of
the WLAN adapter.
If you would like to establish a WLAN connection using these
preset values, then your WLAN adapter must support the WPA
encryption procedure.
For more information, see the manual on your AVM
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick model.
