Connecting Computers Wirelessly via WLAN
29
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 by entering the val-
ues in the WLAN software.
If you would like to establish a WLAN connection using the
preset values, then your WLAN device must support the WPA
encryption procedure.
1. Start the WLAN software.
2. Enter the following values for the connection between
the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN device:
3. Confirm your entries using the relevant button in the us-
er interface (for instance, “OK” or “Connect”).
Now your WLAN device and the FRITZ!Box are connected with
each other wirelessly.
