Integrating Wireless Devices into the Wireless Network
Wireless LAN Settings of the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater
The FRITZ!WLAN Repeater is preconfigured so that the radio
network name (SSID) and network key of the wireless access
point are adopted automatically upon connection with the
wireless access point.
This means your FRITZ!WLAN Repeater can be reached in the
wireless LAN radio network with the same radio network
name (SSID) as your wireless access point (for instance,
FRITZ!Box).
Establishing a Wireless LAN Connection
1.
Open the wireless LAN software of your computer or of
another wireless device.
2.
Search for wireless devices in your vicinity.
3.
Select the SSID (radio network name) of your wireless
access point from the list of wireless devices found.
If the wireless device is located within the range of the
wireless access point and within the range of the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater, the SSID of the wireless access
point will appear twice in the search results of some
wireless devices. Select either of the SSIDs. Your com-
puter will automatically connect with the wireless device
that has the stronger signal.
4.
Establish the wireless LAN connection.
As soon as the wireless LAN connection has been estab-
lished, the wireless device receives access via the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater to the radio network and to the Internet
connection of the wireless access point.
