How to fix AVM Adapter when I cannot register at the WLAN remote site?
- S
  samanthaperezAug 22, 2025
  If you cannot register at the WLAN remote site, it may be due to mismatched settings between the WLAN remote site and the entries in the “WLAN Remote Site” area of the FRITZ!WLAN control software. Check whether the correct WLAN access point has been selected from the list of WLAN devices and make sure that the WLAN key and the name (SSID) of the WLAN remote site have been entered correctly.

  If the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is detected automatically in the Windows XP operating system, but the device is not fully functional, the necessary service packs have not been installed. To ensure full operation capability, install the current service packs and updates using the Windows Update function. We recommend at least Service Pack 2 for Windows XP.

Why does my AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick computer recognize the network but cannot access the Internet?
- Q
  qthomasAug 27, 2025
  If your computer recognizes the network and the router, but you cannot access the Internet, this may be due to a wrong WLAN key or the IP address not being assigned automatically by Windows. Therefore, check the WLAN key entry and make sure that the automatic assignment of IP addresses is enabled in your operating system.

  If your computer does not detect the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick, it might not be correctly inserted into the USB port, or the chipset drivers of your computer might be outdated. Ensure the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is firmly inserted. If it's not positioned correctly, pull it out and reinsert it. You may also need to install the latest chipset drivers.

- J
  Jeanette JacksonAug 28, 2025
  If the FRITZ!WLAN icon does not appear in the notification area of the Windows task bar, the FRITZ!WLAN software or drivers for the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick were not installed correctly, or the device is disabled in the “Device Manager”. First check the “Device Manager” in the “Control Panel” to see whether the device is listed and disabled. Enable the device. If it is not listed, uninstall the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick and repeat the installation as described in the manual.

Why AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick Adapter every time Windows restarts, the Microsoft WLAN control is applied?
- R
  Rachel SmithAug 30, 2025
  If every time Windows 8/7/Vista/XP is restarted, the Microsoft WLAN control is applied, no matter which settings were configured before, this is because the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is utilized in the notebook along with an Intel Pro Wireless Adapter. To eliminate this problem, remove the Intel Pro Wireless Software (not the driver).

Why AVM Adapter Metro apps claim no Internet connection?
- D
  Daniel GarciaAug 31, 2025
  If some Metro apps claim that there is no Internet connection, although there is no problem with using the Internet, e.g. via a browser, some Windows 8 Metro apps do not detect the existing Internet connection via WLAN whenever software other than the Microsoft WLAN control software is in charge of the WLAN connection. Set the WLAN control such that the WLAN connection is no longer controlled by FRITZ!WLAN, but instead by the Microsoft WLAN service integrated in Windows 8.

- W
  waynesuttonSep 1, 2025
  If two or more computers are networked via FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick, but you cannot access files and connected devices on the remote site, the desired resources like folders, drives, printers or Internet connections are not configured for network sharing. Make sure that those resources are configured for network sharing.

Why AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick and another WLAN adapter cannot exchange data?
- R
  Robert FryeSep 2, 2025
  If the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick and a further WLAN adapter are connected directly via WLAN, but cannot exchange any data with each other, the IP address was not assigned by Windows automatically, or the network key, workgroup or ad-hoc network names do not match. Make sure that the ad-hoc network name of your connection and the network key match, and that automatic assignment of IP addresses is enabled in your operating system.
