Wireless / Security / Encryption

WPA encryption is currently the most secure encryption method for your wireless LAN network and should be used whenever possible. Use a different cipher only if the wireless devices you use do not support WPA encryption.

Restricting Wireless LAN Access

With these options you define which wireless devices can connect with the FRITZ!Box:

OptionPermitted devices
Allow all new wireless devices
  • all known wireless devices
  • new wireless LAN devices
Do not allow any new wireless devices
  • all known wireless devices

New wireless devices can be introduced to the FRITZ!Box by clicking on the "Add Wireless Device" button.

 

The "Do not allow any new wireless devices" option does not provide sufficient protection from unauthorized use of your wireless network. To protect the network effectively, enable WPA encryption.
