32 FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick – 5 Troubleshooting
If no connection can be made to a WLAN remote site during
the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick installation, please note the fol-
lowing:
No WLAN Remote Sites Found
Make sure that the power supply of the WLAN remote
site is secure and that the device is switched on.
Check whether the WLAN remote site is within transmis-
sion range of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. Reduce the
distance and try to establish the connection again.
Connection to the WLAN Remote Site Failed
Make sure you have entered the WLAN key correctly.
Pay special attention to capitalization.
Then connect with the WLAN remote site again. To do this,
perform the following steps:
Click the FRITZ!WLAN program icon in the status area of
the Windows taskbar.
The FRITZ!WLAN context menu opens.
Select the "Connect" button.
A WLAN access point, for instance, a FRITZ!Box FON WLAN,
has its own DHCP server, which assigns IP addresses to the
connected computers. For this the computers must be con-
figured to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP
server of the access point. The steps for checking and adjust-
ing this option differ among the operating systems. Go on to
the relevant section for your operating system.
