I am what Wifi is concerned, a complete layman wanted, but now finally time without the hassle of cables to the Internet, no matter where I am with my laptop just staying. Looking for a suitable wireless router I went to the AVM Fritz! Box WLAN 3170 encountered. Reviews were ok and it did not seem to be just complicated to install according to the description. No sooner had the router since, I've read and gradually done what was in the description of the Instalationsanleitung, and lo and behold, after a few minutes I was here. And so far everything is working properly. After installation, you are its data for the Internet connection (very easy) and also has an overview about IP number, how to surf (encrypted) and so on. I can only recommend this router for wireless laity. A USB WLAN stick is required only if your computer / notebook no wireless support!
