band. Modulation processes and antenna techniques like
MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) use the entire fre-
quency band available more effectively than the older
standards.
Thanks to compatibility with the 802.11g standard, you
can also continue to use older WLAN adapters.
Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box
The throughput rate that can be achieved in your radio
network depends on the WLAN standards used by the in-
tegrated WLAN adapters. These WLAN standards must al-
so be set in the FRITZ!Box. Proceed as follows to check
which WLAN standards are set and change them if need-
ed:
1. Start a web browser.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface by entering
fritz.box
.
3. Make sure that the expert setting is enabled in the
“System / Expert Mode” menu.
4. Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu.
5. Enable the “Adjust radio standard” setting.
6. Select the setting required in the “WLAN standard”
field.
• In order to communicate with each other, the
FRITZ!Box and all WLAN adapters must work in the
same frequency band.
The use of the 802.11n standard—and thus the availabili-
ty of higher throughput rates—is possible only if the
WLAN connection is secured using the WPA2 security
mechanism (AES-CCMP).
Note the following for the configuration of this setting:
