If the wireless LAN connection between your computer and

causes. Work through the following steps in sequence until
the error has been resolved.
Positioning the FRITZ!Box and Wireless Devices Correctly

less devices in different locations to improve the wireless LAN
connection:

Do not set up the FRITZ!Box directly next to or beneath
an obstacle or a metal object (like a cabinet or radiator).

Position the FRITZ!Box and your wireless devices so that
there are as few obstacles between them as possible.

dio channel with as little interference as possible.

cally (recommended)”.
