Fritz!Box 4040 - Connecting Wireless Devices with FRITZ!Box

Connecting Wireless Devices with FRITZ!Box
Overview
You can connect computers, smartphones, tablets, and other network
devices wirelessly with the FRITZ!Box via Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi connections can be established using a QR code, the Wi-Fi net-
work key of the FRITZ!Box, or via WPS.
Requirements
• for Wi-Fi connections via QR code: smartphone or tablet with a QR
code app
• for Wi-Fi connections via WPS: Wireless device with support for
WPS at the touch of a button (WPS Push Button)
Many Windows computers support WPS. Apple devices (MacOS,
iOS) do not support WPS.
Scanning QR Codes on a Smartphone or Tablet
Many smartphones and tablets can scan QR codes using the camera
app, for instance, iPhones with iOS13 or later. To test your smartphone
or tablet, open the camera app and point the camera at a QR code. If
the device detects the QR code, a message appears with the informa-
tion stored in the QR code. If no message appears, you can use a QR
code app to scan the QR code.
Example: QR code with the address (URL) of the English-language AVM
website:
