Connecting a computer to a LAN port on the FRITZ!Box

Connecting

Set aside the network cable (yellow) from the FRITZ!Box

package.

1.

Switch on your computer.

2.

If you work with a Linux operating system, configure

your network adapter with the setting “DHCP”, if this

setting is not already configured.

3.

Insert one end of the LAN cable to the computer’s

network adapter.

4.

Connect the other end of the network cable to the

socket on FRITZ!Box labeled “LAN 1” or “LAN 2”.

Now the FRITZ!Box and computer are connected to each

other.

Connecting More Computers to the LAN Ports

Additional cables are required to connect further comput-

ers. In purchasing a LAN cable, note the instructions in the

section “Network Cable” on page 118.

You can connect a computer to any of the two LAN ports of

the FRITZ!Box at any time.

Connecting a Network Hub or Switch

You can connect a network hub or switch to one of the LAN

ports on the FRITZ!Box if you would like to connect multi-

ple computers via LAN.

Connecting FRITZ!Box to a network hub

Connecting

Set aside the network cable (yellow) from the FRITZ!Box

package.

1.

Connect one end of the LAN cable to the uplink port

of the network hub or switch.

2.

Connect the other end of the cable to one of the LAN

sockets on the FRITZ!Box.

The FRITZ!Box and network hub are now connected with

each other.

Connecting Computer(s) Wirelessly via WLAN

Using WLAN you can connect one or multiple computers

with the FRITZ!Box wirelessly.

The wireless WLAN connection is independent of the oper-

ating system used. Each computer to be connected to the

FRITZ!Box via WLAN must be equipped with a compatible

WLAN adapter, for instance the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.

Many modern computers and notebooks have an integrat-

ed WLAN adapter.

Connecting the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

AVM Stick & Surf

If you are using the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N. the

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4 or the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

by AVM as a WLAN adapter, you can establish a secure

WLAN connection quickly and conveniently using the AVM

Stick & Surf technology.

1.

Switch on your computer.

2.

Insert your FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into one of the USB

ports on the FRITZ!Box.

The WLAN security settings are transmitted automati-

cally to the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. The “INFO” LED on

the FRITZ!Box begins flashing rapidly.

As soon as the “INFO” LED stops flashing, transmis-

sion of the settings has been concluded.

3.

Remove the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick from the device.

4.

Now insert the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into the USB

port on your computer.

The security settings saved on the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

are applied to the computer. Now the FRITZ!Box and

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick are connected with each other wire-

lessly.

Establishing a WLAN Connection Using WPS

If you are using a WLAN adapter from another manufactur-

er and your WLAN adapter supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected

Setup), you can also use this mechanism to establish the

WLAN connection between your computer and the

FRITZ!Box. For detailed instructions about how to do so,

see the section “WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)” from

page 142.

For more information, see the manual on the AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N, the manual for the AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4, or the manual for the AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.

Establishing a WLAN Connection Manually

Installing a WLAN

Adapter

If you are using a WLAN adapter from another manufactur-

er, you can also establish the WLAN connection manually.

To do so, proceed as follows:

1.

Switch on your computer.

2.

Install the WLAN adapter in your computer along with

the appropriate software. Please take note of the in-

structions in the documentation of the adapter.

3.

In order to establish a WLAN connection to the

FRITZ!Box, you can use the WLAN software for the

WLAN adapter, or the WLAN software supplied with

the operating system.

Establishing a

Connection

The FRITZ!Box is delivered with preset values for WLAN se-

curity. You must enter these values during the configura-

tion of the WLAN adapter.

If you would like to establish a WLAN connection using

these preset values, then your WLAN adapter must sup-

port the WPA encryption procedure.

1.

Start the WLAN software.

2.

Enter the following values for the connection be-

tween the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN adapter:

3.

Confirm your entries using the relevant button in the

user interface (for instance, “OK” or “Connect”).

Now your WLAN adapter and the FRITZ!Box are connected

with each other wirelessly.

Please see the instructions in the section “Opening the

User Interface” on page 26. See also the information on

WLAN security in the section “Security” from page 131.

WPA Not Supported

If your WLAN adapter 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. To do so, proceed as follows:

1.

Connect the FRITZ!Box and the computer using the

network cable (yellow) (see the section “Connecting

Computers to the LAN Port” from page 15).

2.

Start a web browser on your computer.

3.

Enter

fritz.box

in the address field of the browser.

4.

Select the “WLAN / Security” menu.

5.

Then select WEP encryption and enter a network key.

6.

Click the “Apply” button.

A window is displayed with the WLAN security set-

tings.

7.

Make a note of the settings or print out the page by

clicking the printer icon in the toolbar.

8.

Close the user interface and clear the connection be-

tween the FRITZ!Box and the computer. Remove the

network cable (yellow).

9.

Configure your WLAN adapter with the security set-

tings entered in the FRITZ!Box.

The WLAN connection between your WLAN adapter and

the FRITZ!Box will be established.

We strongly recommend the use of a WLAN adapter that

supports WPA or WPA2 (for instance, an AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick, see also page 18). WEP is out of

date and data encrypted with WEP can be deciphered

within minutes.
