2.9 Connecting FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN to
the USB Port of a Computer
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN can be connected to a computer with
the USB cable in a few easy steps. First read the instructions
in the next section, “Connecting the USB Cable”, and then
see the section describing installation the USB drivers in
your operating system.
An operating system version of 10.3.3 or higher is required
to connect FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN to the USB port of an Apple
Macintosh computer. If your Apple Macintosh computer
works with an older version, connect FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN to
your computer via the network port or WLAN.
Connecting the USB Cable
You will need the white USB cable for this step. In the Win-
dows operating systems Windows Me and Windows 98, the
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN CD is also required for driver installa-
tion. No driver installation is necessary in the operating sys-
tems Windows XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X and Linux.
1. Once the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN has been connected to
the power mains and DSL as described on page 17,
switch on your computer.
2. If a Windows operating system is installed on the com-
puter, insert the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN CD now. No CD is
required for the Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.
