Checking the Network Data
You computer recognizes the network and the router, but
cannot access the Internet or the network (limited
connectivity).
Checking the Data of the Ad-hoc Connection
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick and a further WLAN adapter
are connected directly via WLAN, but cannot exchange
any data with each other.
Possible Cause
The WLAN key is wrong or the IP address was not as-
signed by Windows automatically (note: the process can
take up to three minutes).
Remedy
Check the WLAN key entry. On AVM FRITZ!Box products,
the WLAN key is printed on the underside of the device
and on the installation CD jewel case. If you are using a
WLAN access point from another manufacturer, please
see the documentation of this device. Make sure that the
automatic assignment of IP addresses is enabled in your
operating system. For details, see the section “Checking
the IP Settings” from page 45.
Possible Cause
The IP address was not assigned by Windows automati-
cally (note: the process can take up to three minutes), or
the network key, workgroup or ad-hoc network names do
not match.
Remedy
Make sure that the ad-hoc network name of your connec-
tion and the network key match, and that automatic as-
signment of IP addresses is enabled in your operating
system. The connected computers must be in the same
working group (see also: “Encryption” from page 32 and
“Checking the IP Settings” from page 45).
