5.2 Connecting Computers Wirelessly over WLAN
Using WLAN radio technology you can connect multiple computers with the FRITZ!Box wirelessly.
Please note the following before establishing a wireless connection between the computer and the FRITZ!Box:
• WLAN device
A computer to be connected to the FRITZ!Box via WLAN
must be equipped with a WLAN device for it to support
WLAN. A WLAN device can be an external WLAN adapter—like a USB stick, for example—or a device integrated
in the computer. Many modern computers and notebooks come with a WLAN device integrated.
• WLAN security settings
In the FRITZ!Box, WLAN security settings are enabled upon delivery. Before a computer can establish a wireless
connection to the FRITZ!Box, the WLAN security settings
of the FRITZ!Box must be transferred to the WLAN device.
For this procedure the FRITZ!Box supports the two automatic methods AVM Stick & Surf and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). The security settings can also be transferred
manually.
For more information on WLAN, see the section FRITZ!Box as
a WLAN Base Station from page 71.

of the settings has been concluded.
3. Remove the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.
4. Now insert the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into the USB port
of the computer.
The security settings will be adopted and the WLAN connection between the FRITZ!Box and the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
will be established. As soon as the WLAN connection has
been established the computer is connected to the FRITZ!Box.
See the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick manual for details.
Establishing a WLAN Connection Using WPS
The FRITZ!Box supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WLAN
devices that also support WPS can be connected with your
FRITZ!Box securely using this method. All of the necessary
WLAN security settings are transferred in the process. There
are two kinds of WPS: the push-button method and the PIN
method.
WPS with the Push-button Method
The push-button method (WPS PBC) can be used if your WLAN
device is equipped with a WPS button, or if WPS can be enabled via the control software of the WLAN device.

Connecting Computers Wirelessly over WLAN
WLAN devices are generally delivered with their own WLAN
software, which is installed in the computer along with the
WLAN device. By now many operating systems have WLAN
software included. Integrated WLAN devices sometimes use
the operating system’s WLAN software.
Installing a WLAN Device
If you need to use a separate WLAN device because you do
not have one integrated, then install the WLAN device in the
computer along with the corresponding WLAN software.
Please take note of the instructions in the documentation of
the device.
Transferring WLAN Security Settings
The values for WLAN security preconfigured in the FRITZ!Box
have to be transferred to the WLAN device.
The values preset in the FRITZ!Box are printed on the sticker
attached to the bottom of the housing. If you would like to
establish a WLAN connection using these values, then your
WLAN device must support the preset encryption method. If
this is not the case, first change the settings in the FRITZ!Box.
To do this, connect your computer and the FRITZ!Box using a
network cable.
1. Start the WLAN software.
2. The following table presents the values that are possible
for the connection between the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN
device. Enter in the WLAN software the values set in the
FRITZ!Box. If you changed the preconfigured values in
the FRITZ!Box, then enter these changed values in the
WLAN software.

3. Confirm your entries using the relevant button in the us-
er interface (for instance, “OK” or “Connect”).
Now your WLAN device and the FRITZ!Box are connected with
each other wirelessly.
If the WLAN Device Does Not Support WPA
If your WLAN device does not support WPA encryption, you
must convert the encryption set in the FRITZ!Box to WEP. For
this you must change the WLAN settings in the FRITZ!Box.
1. Connect the FRITZ!Box and the computer using the net-
work cable (yellow) (see the section Connecting Compu-
ters to the LAN Port on page 23).
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see the section
