Connecting to Computers via Wi-Fi
Overview
You can connect computers and other network devices to the
FRITZ!Box without cables via Wi-Fi.
Secure Wi-Fi Connections
Wi-Fi connections can be secured using encryption. Two things are re-
quired for this:
• An encryption method
• A key
The encryption method WPA2 and a network key (see the type la-
bel on the bottom of the housing of the device) are preconfigured in
the FRITZ!Box. A wireless device that would like to connect with the
FRITZ!Box must register with the FRITZ!Box using the network key.
This can be done in the following ways:
• by entering the network key manually
• by transmitting the Wi-Fi network key via WPS
Encryption
The FRITZ!Box supports connections with the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Ac-
cess) standard for encryption and authentication in Wi-Fi networks. In
this standard, WPA3 mode offers the highest security. The FRITZ!Box
supports WPA3 in combination with the common WPA2 mode, since
there are still only a few wireless devices that support WPA3. The fol-
lowing settings are available in the FRITZ!Box:
Encryption/WPA Mode
Function
WPA2+WPA3
If a wireless device supports WPA3, the
FRITZ!Box uses WPA3; otherwise, WPA2.
WPA2 (CCMP)
Preset in the FRITZ!Box.
The FRITZ!Box uses WPA2 for all connec-
tions.
