Operation Manual

6.4 WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N supports the standardized

WPS networking procedure (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). With

WPS you can establish a secure WLAN connection be-

tween your FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N and your WLAN ac-

cess point. All of the necessary WLAN security settings are

transferred in the process.

When establishing a WLAN connection via WPS you can

use either the push-button or the PIN method:

• For the push-button method (WPS-PBC) your WLAN

access point must be equipped with a hardware or

software switch that is used to enable WPS function-

ality.

• For the pin method, you enter the PIN specified by the

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N in the WPS data of your

WLAN access point.

WPS can be used only in combination with WLAN access

points that also support WPS. See the documentation of

your WLAN access point to find out whether it supports

WPS and which connection methods can be selected.

Establishing WLAN Connections using WPS

Proceed as follows to establish a WLAN connection using

WPS:

1. Double-click the program icon in the notification area

of the Windows task bar to open the FRITZ!WLAN user

interface, and then click the “Find” button.

All WLAN devices found are displayed in the “Find

and Select WLAN Devices” window. The WPS icon in-

dicates which devices support WPS.
