Installing FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick can be installed in the operating systems
Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit edition), Windows XP (32-bit and 64-
bit edition) and Windows 2000.
Please install the current Microsoft Service Packs using
Microsoft Windows Update and use a USB 2.0 port for op-
timum performance of your FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.
You can change the display of menus and folders in most
operating systems. The following instructions are based
on the standard installation of each operating system.
If you have a FRITZ!Box WLAN with USB host function, first
use Stick & Surf (see “AVM Stick & Surf Technology” on
page 11) to transmit the WLAN security settings from your
FRITZ!Box WLAN to your computer.
