Connecting Computers Wirelessly via WLAN
2.
Insert your FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into one of the USB
ports on the FRITZ!Box.
The WLAN security settings are transmitted to the
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. The “Info” LED on the FRITZ!Box
begins flashing quickly.
As soon as the “Info” LED stops flashing, transmission
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 connec-
tion 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.
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: WPS push-button config-
uration) can be used if your WLAN device is also equipped
with a WPS button, or if WPS can be enabled via the control
software of the WLAN device.
1.
Press the “WLAN” button on the FRITZ!Box and hold it
down for at least six seconds.
See the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick manual for details.

2.
As soon as the “WLAN” LED begins flashing, enable the
WPS function on the other WLAN device, either by press-
ing a button or in the device’s user interface (depending
on the device). Activation must be started within two
minutes.
The FRITZ!Box and the WLAN device now connect with each
other automatically. The WLAN device adopts the security set-
tings of the FRITZ!Box.
As soon as the WLAN connection has been established the
computer is connected to the FRITZ!Box.
WPS with the PIN Method
If your WLAN device supports WPS, but does not have a but-
ton to start the push method nor any possibility to enable it in
its control software, use the PIN method to establish the
WLAN connection.
You can choose between two methods:
•
the FRITZ!Box specifies the PIN
•
the WLAN device specifies the PIN.
The FRITZ!Box Specifies the PIN
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2.
Select the “WLAN / Security” menu.
3.
Go to the “WPS Quick Connection” page.

Enable the setting “WPS enabled”.
5.
Select the option “PIN method (WPS-PIN), the FRITZ!Box
specifies the PIN”.
6.
The PIN will be displayed. Enter this PIN in the control
software of the WLAN device.
7.
Click “Start WPS”.
The “WLAN” LED on the FRITZ!Box flashes slowly, indicating
that the WPS procedure has begun. Now a secure WLAN con-
nection is being established between the FRITZ!Box and the
WLAN device.
The WLAN Device Specifies the PIN
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2.
Select the “WLAN / Security” menu.
3.
Go to the “WPS Quick Connection” page.
4.
Enable the setting “WPS enabled”.
5.
Select the option “PIN method (WPS-PIN), the WLAN de-
vice specifies the PIN”.
6.
Now start the control software of the WLAN device. The
program outputs a PIN for establishing a connection.
7.
Enter this PIN in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
8.
Click “Start WPS”.
The “WLAN” LED on the FRITZ!Box flashes slowly, indicating
that the WPS procedure has begun. Now a secure WLAN con-
nection is being established between the FRITZ!Box and the
WLAN device.
Transferring the WLAN Security Settings Manually
The WLAN security settings for WLAN devices can also be
transferred manually. Manual transfer is unavoidable if a
WLAN device does not support any methods for transferring
the security settings automatically.
For manual transfer the WLAN security settings have to be en-
tered in the WLAN software.

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 by entering the val-
ues in the WLAN software.
If you would like to establish a WLAN connection using the
preset values, then your WLAN device must support the WPA
encryption procedure.
1.
Start the WLAN software.
2.
Enter the following values for the connection between
the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN device:
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.

Connecting Computers Wirelessly via WLAN
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
Opening the User Interface on page 31
).
3.
Select the “WLAN / Security” menu.
4.
Then select WEP encryption and enter a network key.
5.
Click the “Apply” button.
A window is displayed with the WLAN security settings.
6.
Make a note of the settings or print out the page.
7.
Close the user interface and clear the connection be-
tween the FRITZ!Box and the computer. Remove the net-
work cable (yellow).
8.
Configure your WLAN device with the security settings
entered in the FRITZ!Box.
The WLAN connection between your WLAN device and the
FRITZ!Box will be established.
We strongly recommend using a WLAN device that supports
WPA or WPA2 (for instance, a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick from
AVM). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can be
deciphered within minutes.
