Setting Automatic IP Address Assignment in Windows
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick AC 430
23
Do not set up your wireless devices directly next to or beneath
an obstacle (like a cabinet or radiator).
Position the wireless access point and the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick so that there are as few obstacles between them as pos-
sible.
Avoiding WLAN Channels with DFS
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick loses the wireless LAN connection
in the 5-GHz frequency band for no apparent reason.
Forced channel change
Set the channel 36, 40, 44 or 48 in the wireless access point.
On all other channels in the 5-GHz frequency band, the wire-
less access point is forced to switch channels whenever a ra-
dar device is transmitting on the same channel (DFS = Dy-
namic Frequency Selection).

Setting Automatic IP Address Assignment in Windows
Wireless access points like the FRITZ!Box are equipped with a
DHCP server. The DHCP server assigns addresses for the con-
nected computers.
For your computer to obtain its IP address from the DHCP
server automatically, automatic assignment of IP addresses
must be set in Windows.
