Connecting Computers Wirelessly over WLAN
Transferring the WLAN Security Settings Manually
The WLAN security settings for WLAN devices can also be
transferred manually. Manual transfer is unavoidable if a
WLAN device does not support any methods for transferring
the security settings automatically.
For manual transfer the WLAN security settings have to be en-
tered in the WLAN software.
WLAN devices are generally delivered with their own WLAN
software, which is installed in the computer along with the
WLAN device. By now many operating systems have WLAN
software included. Integrated WLAN devices sometimes use
the operating system's WLAN software.
Installing a WLAN Device
If you need to use a separate WLAN device because you do
not have one integrated, then install the WLAN device in the
computer along with the corresponding WLAN software.
Please take note of the instructions in the documentation of
the device.
Transferring WLAN Security Settings
The values for WLAN security preconfigured in the FRITZ!Box
have to be transferred to the WLAN device.
The values preset in the FRITZ!Box are printed on the sticker
attached to the bottom of the housing. If you would like to
establish a WLAN connection using these values, then your
WLAN device must support the preset encryption method. If
this is not the case, first change the settings in the FRITZ!Box.
To do this, connect your computer and the FRITZ!Box using a
network cable.

Start the WLAN software.
The following table presents the values that are possible
for the connection between the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN
device. Enter in the WLAN software the values set in the
FRITZ!Box. If you changed the preconfigured values in
the FRITZ!Box, then enter these changed values in the
WLAN software.
