FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
Connecting Two WLAN Users Directly (Ad-hoc
Network)
To establish a direct connection via WLAN, one WLAN par-
ty has to offer an ad-hoc network that other ad-hoc parties
may join.
How to Create an Ad-hoc Network
1. In the FRITZ!WLAN user interface, click the icon of the
WLAN remote site with the right mouse button or
click the FRITZ!WLAN program icon in the notification
area of the task bar and select the command "Create
Ad-hoc Network...".
The "Ad-hoc Network" window opens.
2. Enter the WLAN key in the "WLAN key" field.
All other WLAN parties of the ad-hoc connection must
also enter this key.
See also the encryption instructions in the section
"Encryption" from page 36.
Confirm the settings configured earlier for the ad-hoc
network. If you would like to change these settings,
click the "Edit" button.
1. Confirm with "OK".
The ad-hoc network is now ready for operation and awaits
other WLAN users.
In the FRITZ!WLAN control software, yellow waves in the
ad-hoc network icon indicate that it is ready to establish
ad-hoc connections.
