FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick can be connected with a variety of
WLAN devices.
Click the "Find" button in the FRITZ!WLAN window to
search for new WLAN devices at your location and con-

Microsoft WLAN
In Windows XP with Service Pack 2, the Microsoft WLAN ser-
vice "WZC" (Wireless Zero Configuration) can be used to con-
figure wireless devices rather than the FRITZ!WLAN program.
However, Microsoft WLAN service does not support all of the
AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick features, or supports them differ-
ently. Even when "Microsoft WLAN" is enabled, FRITZ!WLAN
continues to show all of the important status information
about your connection by means of an icon in the status ar-
ea. Please note that the WLAN settings (search for WLAN de-
vices / enter key / establish connection) must be configured
again for Microsoft WLAN service. Consult the Windows doc-
umentation for more information.
A Microsoft patch must be installed for Microsoft WLAN ser-
vice to support WPA2 encryption (802.11i). See also:
