Establishing a Wireless Connection
To expand your wireless LAN radio network, integrate your FRITZ!WLAN Repeater
DVB-C into the network in a few simple steps. There are three ways to do this.
WPS Quick Connection (page 11)
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is the simplest and fastest way to establish a secure
connection between wireless LAN devices. WPS is supported by all current
FRITZ!Box models with wireless LAN and by many wireless LAN access points from
other manufacturers. See the documentation for your wireless access point.
or
Online Wizard (page 12)
If you use Windows 8.1/8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista on your computer,
the convenient Online Wizard supports you in connecting and installing the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C. Also use this method if your wireless access point
does not support WPS.

Manual setup (page 13)
No matter what operating system you use you can connect the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C and your WLAN access point to each other manually.

Establishing a Connection Using WPS Quick Connection
The WPS quick connection is the simplest and fastest way to establish a secure
connection between wireless LAN devices.
Requirements
The wireless access point must
support the WPA or WPA2 encryption
standard.
All of the devices participating in the
wireless network must support WPS
and WPS must be enabled.
In the latest FRITZ!Box models WPS is
enabled by default. In older models,
enable the WPS Push-Button method
in your FRITZ!Box user interface
under "WLAN / Security / WPS - Quick
Connection".
The SSID (network name) of the
wireless access point must be set to
"visible", and if the MAC address fi lter
is enabled, it must be switched off for
the initial confi guration. Both are con-
fi gured upon delivery of a FRITZ!Box.
Establishing a Connection
1. Press the WPS button on the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C until the
"WLAN" LED begins fl ashing (see also
15 below).
2. Within two minutes, press the button
on your wireless access point that
starts a WPS quick connection.
On AVM FRITZ!Box models this is the
button labeled WLAN, WPS or WLAN/
WPS. For more information, see the
documentation on your FRITZ!Box or
your wireless access point.
3. The FRITZ!WLAN Repeater and your
wireless access point now establish a
secure wireless connection with each
other automatically. The "WLAN" LEDs
on both devices light up and remain
on.
Now the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C is
connected by wireless LAN. Continue
