Establishing and Clearing WLAN Connections
In Windows7, WindowsVista and WindowsXP with Service Pack2 or
higher, the Microsoft WLAN service WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration)
can be used to manage wireless devices rather than the FRITZ!WLAN
program.
Information on the WLAN Control Software
Note the following to use Microsoft WLAN Service for your
WLAN connections:
• If you are working with a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
version 1.0, the FRITZ!WLAN control software was in-
stalled on your computer as part of the installation
routine. This is the default application for your WLAN
connections.
If you prefer to work with the Microsoft WLAN Service
as WLAN control software, you can switch to this pro-
gram as follows:
– Click the WLAN icon in the notification area of the
task bar.
– Select the “Microsoft WLAN” command in the con-
text menu and follow the instructions displayed
on the screen.
• In FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick version 1.1, Microsoft WLAN
Service is provided as the default application for
WLAN connections. The FRITZ!WLAN Mini version of
the FRITZ!WLAN control software was installed on
your computer. This version only displays status in-
formation.
If you want to work with the full version of
FRITZ!WLAN as your WLAN control software, you can
install it later:
– Click the WLAN icon in the notification area of the
task bar.
