How to Connect a Windows 7 Computer with your FRITZ!Box via WLAN

1. Click the WLAN icon in the notification area of the task bar.
   A window opens in which all of the WLAN radio networks at your location are displayed.

2. Click on the name of the WLAN radio network (SSID) of your FRITZ!Box (e.g. "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270").
3. In the "Security Key" window that opens next, enter the WLAN key of your FRITZ!Box and then click "OK".
   NOTE:
   Upon delivery (factory settings) the WLAN key is set to the value printed on the sticker on the base of the FRITZ!Box.

4. In the "Network Location" window that opens, select one of the suggested locations.
   NOTE:
   Select the "home network" location if you want to make files and printers available to other Windows 7 computers in the FRITZ!Box network.

Now the WLAN connection will be established and you can establish Internet connections and access all of the services of the FRITZ!Box from your Windows 7 computer.
