FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 310
The WLAN base station must support WPS.
The latest FRITZ!Box models support WPS.
WPS must be enabled in the WLAN base station.
WPS is enabled upon delivery in the latest FRITZ!Box
models. In older FRITZ!Box models, enable the WPS
method in the user interface under "WLAN / Security /
WPS Quick Connection".
The WLAN base station must support the WPA or WPA2
encryption standard.
The SSID (radio network name) of the WLAN base station
must be set to "visible" (announced). The SSID of a
FRITZ!Box is visible upon delivery.
If a MAC address filter is active in your WLAN base sta-
tion, the MAC address of the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater must
be entered there as an exception. You can also disable
the MAC address filter until the connection to the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater is established.
