Setting up a Wi-Fi connection to the FRITZ!Box
You want to configure a Wi-Fi connection to the FRITZ!Box manually? ✔ Here is how to set up Wi-Fi with the default password or your own password.
You can connect your mobile devices to the internet and your home network quickly and securely via the Wi-Fi network of your FRITZ!Box. You can either use a QR code or manually enter the Wi-Fi network key to set up the connection.
1 Determining the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi settings
Determining the Wi-Fi settings in the factory settings
If you did not change the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi settings, you can use the QR code for Wi-Fi access and the Wi-Fi settings from the type label on the FRITZ!Box or from the FRITZ! Notes enclosed in the box:
Determining the adjusted Wi-Fi settings
If you changed the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi settings, you can find the valid QR code and the current Wi-Fi settings in the FRITZ!Box user interface:
- Click "Wi-Fi" ("Wireless") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Wi-Fi Network" ("Radio Network") in the "Wi-Fi" ("Wireless") menu.
