12 FRITZ!Box as a Wireless Access Point
The FRITZ!Box is a wireless LAN access point for wireless devices like
notebooks, tablets or smartphones. The FRITZ!Box can establish wire-
less LAN connections compliant with the fast wireless LAN N standard
in two frequency bands at the same time. The FRITZ!Box is preconfig-
ured with an encryption method from today’s safest method WPA2.
This encryption method is supported by most of the latest wireless
devices. The FRITZ!Box supports wireless LAN convenience functions
like night service and WPS quick connect.
12.1 Connecting Wireless LAN Devices Securely with the FRITZ!Box
In a wireless LAN radio network, security is of the utmost im-
portance. This is why wireless LAN connections between the
FRITZ!Box and your devices are encrypted. For encryption the
FRITZ!Box and your wireless devices must use the same en-
cryption method.
The FRITZ!Box is preconfigured with today’s safest encryption
method WPA2. This encryption method is supported by many
of the latest wireless LAN devices.
If you would like to use wireless devices that do not support
WPA2 or WPA, you can switch encryption in the FRITZ!Box to
the older, less secure WEP method. You can also establish
non-encrypted wireless LAN connections. However, if at all
possible we recommend always establishing WPA2 wireless
LAN connections.
Wireless devices can be connected with the FRITZ!Box auto-
matically or manually. A particularly simple and secure auto-
matic method is WPS, with which a wireless LAN connection
can be established at the touch of a button. For manual wire-
less LAN connections with the FRITZ!Box, use the wireless
LAN software of your wireless device or the wireless LAN pro-
gram on your computer.
