Adapter of a Computer
1. Once the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN has been connected to
the power mains and DSL as described on Page 14,
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. Once installation has been completed, you generally
have a user interface available to control your WLAN
connections. In the Windows operating systems you
can open the user interface by clicking an icon in the
taskbar (specific to each manufacturer) or from the start
menu.
4. To establish a WLAN connection to FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN,
you can use the WLAN software available in the operat-
ing system or use the user interface provided by the
manufacturer.
The following section presents two descriptions: one with in-
structions for using the WLAN connection settings in
Windows XP, and another for using the manufacturer's user
interface.
If you are working with the Windows XP operating system, it
is advisable to configure the settings for the WLAN adapter
using the Windows XP WLAN connection settings.
Both descriptions use the values given in the section "Pre-
settings in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN" on page 25. If you have
changed the preset values in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN, you must
used the changed values to set up the WLAN connection or
reset the system to its factory settings via a LAN or USB con-
nection.
