In the device lists in the FRITZ!WLAN control software, this
type of connection is designated by the ad-hoc connection
icon.
Establishing a Connection with a WLAN Access Point
(Infrastructure Network)
If you performed installation using Stick & Surf, no further
steps are necessary. Your FRITZ!Box WLAN will be identi-
fied automatically as WLAN access point. A WLAN connec-
tion you can use immediately will be established.
If you performed installation without using Stick & Surf,
you have to select the WLAN remote site (the WLAN access
point) to connect with manually. In this case the control
software FRITZ!WLAN automatically searches for WLAN de-
vices at your location. Once a list of the WLAN access
points found is displayed, proceed as follows:
1. Select the WLAN device to which you would like to
establish a connection and confirm your selection by
clicking “Select” or “Connect”.
2. Enter the key of the WLAN access point.
On the AVM FRITZ!Box family products, the network
key is printed on the underside of the device.
3. The WLAN connection is established.
Once the connection is established, the WLAN icon in the
notification area of the Windows task bar turns green.
Click the icon to display connection details.
An active WLAN connection between the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick and a known WLAN remote site that has been
cleared because the computer has been shut down will be
re-established automatically every time the computer is
started whenever the remote site is accessible.
