Testing the WLAN Connection Without Security Settings
Disable the WLAN security settings to test whether a WLAN
connection between the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN device is
possible at all.
1.
Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network ca-
ble. Proceed as described in the section
Connecting
Computers to the LAN Port from page 23
.
2.
Open the user interface of the FRITZ!Box in a web brows-
er. Proceed as described in the section

If the attempt to connect to the WLAN using the non-encrypt-
ed connection is not successful either, check the installation
of the WLAN device and contact the manufacturer of the
WLAN device if necessary.
Enable WLAN encryption again after completing the tests. Fol-
low the steps listed above and then enable the kind of en-
cryption that was previously configured.
Installing the Current Service Pack
The WLAN connection to the FRITZ!Box cannot be established
using the Microsoft WLAN Service (WZC = Windows Zero
Configuration) in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
The required Microsoft patch for WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) may not
be not installed.
Install Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows XP, available as a
free download from Microsoft. Then Microsoft WLAN Service
will support WPA2, so that a WLAN connection can be
established to the FRITZ!Box.
Ruling Out Interference Caused by Other Wireless
Networks
If there are other devices in the immediate vicinity of your
FRITZ!Box that use the same frequency band, simultaneous
use of frequencies can result in mutual interference (for ex-
ample, fluctuations or interrupted connections). Disruptions
can be caused by other WLAN base stations, but also by de-
vices like baby monitors, game consoles, garage door open-
ers, Bluetooth devices, or wireless AV bridges, which also use
the 2.4-GHz frequency band. In this case, please test a differ-
ent radio channel for your FRITZ!Box.
Alternatively, you can set the radio channel to “Autochannel”.
This enables the Autochannel function, so that the FRITZ!Box
searches for the best WLAN channel itself.
