WLAN Standards

Thanks to compatibility with the 802.11g standard, you can

also continue to use older WLAN devices.

Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box

The throughput rate that can be achieved in your WLAN radio

network depends on the WLAN standards used by the inte-

grated WLAN devices. These WLAN standards must also be

set in the FRITZ!Box. Proceed as follows to check which WLAN

standards are set and change them if needed:

1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.

2. Make sure that the expert mode is enabled in the “Sys-

tem / Expert Mode” menu.

3. Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu and select “Ad-

just radio channel settings” to make the desired changes.

• In order to communicate with each other, the FRITZ!Box

and all WLAN devices must work in the same frequency

band.

• The standard you configure in the FRITZ!Box must be

compatible with the standards of all WLAN devices used

in the WLAN.

Make a note of which standards the WLAN devices in your

network are compatible with and then adjust the FRITZ!Box

settings according to the following information:

The use of the 802.11n standard—and thus the availability

of higher throughput rates—is possible only if the WLAN con-

nection is secured using the WPA2 security mechanism (AES-

CCMP).

Note the following for the configuration of this setting:
