FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick 25
Connecting to the Internet
There are two different ways for FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick to
connect to the Internet. In both cases you need account
information from an Internet Service Provider.
Connecting Using the WLAN Access Point
The WLAN access point (FRITZ!Box, for instance) establish-
es the connection with the Internet. For this the account
in
f
ormation of the Internet Service Provider must be con-
figured in the WLAN access point. All connected comput-
ers can then use this Internet connection at the same
t
i
me. It is not necessary to install any additional Internet
access software on the other connected computers. With
this configuration, the WLAN access point can be used as
a router for multiple-workplace operation. Instructions on
how to configure the WLAN access point for multiple-work-
place operation are presented in your WLAN access point
ma
nua
l.
Establishing Connections Using the Computer
The computer to which a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is con-
nected establishes the Internet connections itself. In this
cas
e
the WLAN access point works like a DSL modem and
is responsible only for forwarding data. An Internet con-
nection must be configured on the connected computer,
u
s
ing Internet access software (FRITZ!DSL, for instance)
and the account information from an Internet Service Pro-
vider. The Internet access software is also required to
es
tabl
ish Internet connections.
