Allowing Network Access
Checking Network Data
Two or more computers are networked via FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick, but you cannot access files and connected devices on
the remote site.
Possible Cause
The desired resources like folders, drives, printers or Internet
connections are not configured for network sharing.
Remedy
Make sure that those resources are configured for network shar-
ing. Further information is provided in the Online Help of your
operating system.
You computer recognizes the network and the router, but
cannot access the Internet or the network (limited
connectivity).
Possible Cause
The WLAN key is wrong or the IP address was not assigned by
Windows automatically (note: the process can take up to three
minutes).
Remedy
Check the WLAN key entry. On AVM FRITZ!Box products, the
WLAN key is printed on the underside of the device and on the
installation CD jewel case. If you are using a WLAN access point
from another manufacturer, please see the documentation of
this device. Make sure that the automatic assignment of IP ad-
dresses is enabled in your operating system. For details, see
the section “Checking the IP Settings” from page 41.
