7.2 The Radio Network Is Not Displayed
When the WLAN adapter is configured, the radio network
“FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN” is not displayed.
Checking the WLAN Adapter Settings
Make sure that the network mode “Infrastructure” is set rath-
er than “Ad-hoc” in the WLAN software you use to configure
the WLAN adapter.
In the Windows XP WLAN software this setting is configured
using the “Advanced” button on the “Wireless Networks”
settings page in the “Wireless Network Connection Proper-
ties” window. In the “Advanced” window, select the setting
“Access point (infrastructure) networks only”.
If the radio network is still not displayed, continue with the
next item.
Changing Settings in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN
1. Establish a connection to FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN via the
LAN or USB port and open the user interface.
2. Open the “System / Reset” menu.
3. Click the “Restart FRITZ!Box and Load Factory Settings”
button.
4. Clear the LAN or USB connection again (by removing the
connecting cable) and attempt to establish a WLAN con-
nection again.
If this attempt is unsuccessful, continue as follows:
1. Establish a connection to FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN again via
the LAN or USB port and open the user interface.
2. In “WLAN” menu, click the “Security” command and se-
lect “Enable Access without Encryption”. As a final step,
click “Apply”.
This non-secured condition should be used only for
testing, to find out whether a WLAN connection is possi-
ble at all.
