8.2 Accessing USB Devices
Network Sharing As soon as a USB device is connected to the FRITZ!Box, all
of its functions are available in the entire network:
 The files in the USB mass storage can be accessed
from the network via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), or
you can make the USB mass storage device available
as a network storage device. The two kinds of access
are explained in greater detail in the section “Access-
ing the Data in the USB Mass Storage” on page 54.
 USB printers are available as network printers.
USB Remote
Connection
With the USB remote connection, a computer in the net-
work can use USB devices just as if they were connected
directly to the computer via the USB cable.
The USB remote connection is enabled for each USB de-
vice class individually (USB printer, USB storage and other
USB devices).
For more information on USB remote connection, see the
section “FRITZ!Box USB Remote Connection” from
page 64.
8.3 FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N and the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick are WLAN adapters manufactured by AVM for con-
nection to a computer. Using a WLAN adapter you can con-
nect the computer wirelessly with the FRITZ!Box.
All FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks from AVM master the
Stick & Surf method, making it easy to establish a secure
WLAN connection: The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is inserted
briefly into one of the USB ports on the FRITZ!Box, where it
receives all of the security settings required for the WLAN
connection to this FRITZ!Box.
While a computer accesses a USB device via the USB re-
mote connection, the USB device is not available for other
computers in the network.
