Connecting to Computers via Wi-Fi

Overview
You can connect computers and other network devices to the
FRITZ!Box without cables via Wi-Fi.
Secure Wi-Fi Connections
Wi-Fi connections can be secured using encryption. Two things are re-
quired for this:
• An encryption method
• A key
The encryption method WPA2 and a network key (see the type label on
the bottom of the housing) are preconfigured in the FRITZ!Box. A wire-
less device that would like to connect with the FRITZ!Box must register
with the FRITZ!Box using the network key. This can be done in the fol-
lowing ways:
• by entering the network key manually
• by transmitting the Wi-Fi network key via WPS
Encryption
The FRITZ!Box supports connections with the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Ac-
cess) standard for encryption and authentication in Wi-Fi networks. In
this standard, WPA3 mode offers the highest security. The FRITZ!Box
supports WPA3 in combination with the common WPA2 mode, since
there are still only a few wireless devices that support WPA3. The fol-
lowing settings are available in the FRITZ!Box:
