Microsoft WLAN Service (WZC) Is Not Supported
6.6
No Higher Data Rates Available
Set the SSID to “visible” (announced).
For registration with the WPS function the SSID must be visible.
After successful registration you can hide the SSID of the access
point again.
The WLAN connection to the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater cannot be
established using the Microsoft WLAN Service (WZC) in
Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Possible Cause
The required Microsoft patch for WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) may not
be not installed.
Remedy
Install the current patch for Microsoft Windows XP with Service
Pack 2 from the web page
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/91702/EN-US
or install Ser-
vice Pack 3.
Higher data rates in accordance with the WLAN standard
IEEE 802.11n are not available on one of the WLAN clients
connected to the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater (e.g., your notebook).
Possible Cause
The connection between the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater and the
WLAN base station or between the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater and the
WLAN client is not encrypted using WPA2. The use of the
IEEE 802.11n standard—and thus the availability of higher
throughput rates—is possible only if the WLAN connection is se-
cured using the WPA2 (AES-CCMP) security mechanism.
Remedy
Set the WLAN encryption of the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater and the
encryption of the WLAN base station to WPA2. It is also possible
to achieve the data throughput rates of the 802.11n standard if
all WLAN participants transmit wirelessly. Because of the securi-
ty risk associated with an open wireless network, we expressly
advise against using this option!
