Establish home network (WLAN).
With your Speedport you can establish a home network via WLAN (Wireless Local
Area Network). For this home network all connections are built up wirelessly.
The wireless connection is carried out irrespective of the operation system. But for
every network capable device, which you want to connect to your Speedport via
WLAN you need a Wi-Fi compatible network capable card.
In modern computers, notebooks and other network capable devices, a WLAN
adapter is already integrated. For more information of the integrated WLAN adapter
in your device, please consult the documentation of the manufacturer.
The home network for your Wi-Fi network capable devices will be recognized via a
distinct WLAN name (SSID or also network name). This distinct WLAN name will be
sent by your Speedport.
Before starting with the connection procedure, please check, if the network capable
device, with which you want to establish the wireless connection, does support the
WPA2 encryption. You can learn this from the respective instruction manual.
Suggestion
:
We suggest using WLAN network components, which support a secure
WPA2 encryption.

‘Overview’ in the main bar).
Figure 3-14 WLAN Access (Wireless assistant)
1. Click on the tab
to start the installation.
2. If you just have one Wi-Fi capable device attached or you do not want to carry out
special settings, choose the option
I would like to keep the standard setting
. Or
else use the function
I would like to change the settings
.
Suggestion:
The standard settings should be changed, if your network capable device
does not support the preset WPA2 encryption or if you prefer another WLAN name.
You can also deactivate the WLAN function of your Speedport, if you do not need it
anymore. For security reasons it is suggested to change the default SSID name and
key of the device to the ones of your preference.
Notice:
If you carry out the configuration assistant via WLAN, the connection will be
cut after saving the changes. Then you have to reboot the connection to the WLAN
with the new settings once more.

3. Now you can carry out the settings on your wireless home network (WLAN) to the
used
frequency band
and to the applied
WLAN name (SSID)
.
Which frequency band should you use?
The standard setting uses both frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) but not
simultaneously.
• The
2.4 GHz frequency band
is the most commonly used WLAN frequency band
and will therefore be supported by all WLAN devices. This is the default setting.
• The
5 GHz frequency band
is momentarily not supported by all WLAN devices. If
none of your devices support the 5 GHz frequency band, don’t activate it.
Notice:
If you want to change the WLAN frequency, remove/add the respective
hooks.
Notice:
If you remove both hooks at both WLAN frequency bands, the WLAN will be
completely deactivated.
Which WLAN name (SSID) should be assigned?
You have the possibility to change the default WLAN name (and it is suggested). If
you want to customize WLAN name to one of your own, please check that there is no
overlapping with other wireless home network names.
