Guest Access: WLAN Connection for Guests
61
If your WLAN adapter supports WPA, but not WPA2:
•
Enable WPA encryption.
•
Select the WPA mode “WPA (TKIP)” or “WPA+WPA2”.
•
Replace the WPA network key with a new, unique value.
If your WLAN adapter supports neither the WPA nor the WPA2
mechanism:
•
Enable WEP encryption.
•
Replace the WLAN key with a new, unique value.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
In the factory settings of the FRITZ!Box, the name of the wire-
less network (SSID) is set to “FRITZ!Box 7360”.

Guest Access: WLAN Connection for Guests
You can connect computers with the FRITZ!Box via WLAN so
that they can access the Internet without being integrated in
the home network of the FRITZ!Box. This function is called
“guest access”.
Your guests can use the guest access, for instance, to surf the
web with a notebook and to receive e-mail.
Prerequisites for Guest Access
The FRITZ!Box must be connected directly to the DSL line.
We strongly recommend the use of a WLAN device that sup-
ports WPA or WPA2. WEP is out of date and data encrypted
with WEP can be deciphered within minutes.
It may occur that an additional device with the same
FRITZ!Box network name is located in the vicinity of your
FRITZ!Box. Therefore we recommend changing the preset ra-
dio network name.
