Internet Connection

All of the computers connected to FRITZ!Box can access the Internet. There are two different ways of establishing an Internet connection. Both cases require Internet account information from an Internet Service Provider: The Internet connection is established by FRITZ!Box. For this the Internet account information must be registered in FRITZ!Box. In this case FRITZ!Box works as a DSL router and all computers can use the Internet connection at the same time. The computers connected establish the Internet connections themselves. For this, Internet access software must be installed and the Internet account information entered on the given computer. In this case FRITZ!Box works as a DSL modem.
Integrated Firewall USB Port
When FRITZ!Box is operated as a DSL router, the integrated firewall protects your network from attacks from the Internet. The FRITZ!Box is equipped with a USB host controller to which you can connect a USB storage device (hard drive, stick), a printer, a AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick or a USB hub. AVM Stick & Surf technology is provided by the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. This technology allows security settings to be read from the FRITZ!Box automatically. For connecting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server. Network devices can be connected to the FRITZ!Box LAN port along with network hubs or switches, including game consoles. The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN access point. Computers equipped with a WLAN adapter can be wirelessly connected to FRITZ!Box. FRITZ!Box can be connected to computers with Windows operating systems, the Linux operating system or Apple computers with the Mac OS X operating system.

The following settings are preconfigured at the analog lines FON 1, FON 2 and FON 3: calls can be accepted on all three lines: connected terminal devices will ring at the same time outgoing calls can be conducted on all three lines

F!BoxFonWLAN-7170v2-e.book Seite 61 Freitag, 23. November 2007 3:41 15
Changing the Encryption Method: Recommendations If your WLAN adapter supports an encryption method that is more secure than the one preconfigured in your FRITZ!Box, you should select the more secure encryption method in your FRITZ!Box. To configure the best security settings possible with FRITZ!Box and your WLAN adapter, please note the following recommendations: If your WLAN adapter supports WPA2 in accordance with the 802.11i standard: Enable WPA encryption. Select the WPA mode WPA2 (CCMP) or WPA+WPA2. Replace the WPA key with a new, unique value. If your WLAN adapter supports the WPA mechanism, but not the WPA2 mechanism: Enable WPA encryption. Select the WPA mode WPA (TKIP) or WPA+WPA2. Replace the WLAN network key with a new, unique value. If your WLAN adapter supports neither the WPA nor the WPA2 mechanism: Enable WEP encryption. Replace the WLAN key with a new, unique value. We strongly recommend the use of a WLAN adapter that supports WPA or WPA2 (for instance, the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can be deciphered within a few hours.
F!BoxFonWLAN-7170v2-e.book Seite 62 Freitag, 23. November 2007 3:41 15
WLAN Radio Network Name (SSID)
WLAN Radio Network Name (SSID) The factory settings of FRITZ!Box include a value of FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 preset for the SSID (Service Set Identifier). If an additional device with the same network name is located in the vicinity, it can occur that the WLAN adapter attempts to register there. Therefore you should change the SSID as soon as possible.

Frequency Range

WLAN uses the frequency range around 2.4 GHz in the ISM band, or, alternatively, the area around 5 GHz.

2.4-GHz Range

WLAN in the 2.4-GHz frequency band works in the same area as Bluetooth, microwave devices and many cordless telephones. This means that interference may occur within WLANs operated in the vicinity of such devices. Generally the only adverse effects are to the transmission rate; aborted connections and data losses are rare. In Europe, 13 channels are provided for WLAN in the 2.4 GHz range. One channel has a bandwidth of 22 MHz. A 5-MHz interval is left empty between adjacent channels. That means that channels located directly next to each other may overlap and result in mutual interference. If several WLANs are operated within a small space, a distance of at least five channels should be left empty between each two channels used. For instance, if channel 1 is selected for one WLAN, the channels 7 through 13 can be selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum distance between channels.

WLAN Autochannel

With the WLAN Autochannel function, the FRITZ!Box automatically searches for the channel subject to the least interference. Should problems with interference persist despite this function, try to identify the source of interference and switch it off manually. Additional tips on interference in the WLAN radio network are presented in the section Eliminating Disturbances Caused by Another WLAN Radio Network from page 85.

Subnetwork

Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases where a local network has a sufficiently large pool of IP addresses available, or when a computer is always supposed to be accessible at a certain address (such as a web server or email server).

Dynamic IP Address

A dynamic IP address is an IP address valid only for the duration of one Internet or network session. Every computer participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. Since only a limited number of such IP addresses is available, they must be used sparingly. That is why most of the Internet participants who dial in to the Internet receive a dynamic IP address. They are called dynamic because every participant receives a new public address that has not been assigned yet each time he or she dials in to the Internet. By contrast, dynamic addresses are usually used in local IP networks because they are easy to handle, and because using them avoids incorrect IP address entries or unintentional double assignments. The DHCP service is responsible for assigning unique dynamic IP addresses. Subnetwork A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be divided into multiple subnetworks. The division into subnetworks is performed when the local IP network is configured. The subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP networks.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address is the network address and which the address of the computer. The network address defines what is called the subnet.
Example 1 IP address: Subnet mask: 192.168.178.247 255.255.255.0
The assignment of the first three groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first three groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result:
F!BoxFonWLAN-7170v2-e.book Seite 72 Freitag, 23. November 2007 3:41 15
Example 1 Network address of the subnet: 192.168.178.0
Address of the computer 192.168.178.247 in the subnet: IP address pool in the subnet: 192.168.178.0 - 192.168.178.255 The IP addresses 192.168.178.0 and 192.168.178.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from 192.168.178.1 to 192.168.178.254 are available for assignment to the computers.
Example 2 IP address: Subnet mask: 192.168.178.247 255.255.0.0
The assignment of the first two groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first two groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result: Network address (subnet): 192.168.0.0 Address of the computer 192.168.178.247 in the subnet: IP address pool in the subnet: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 The IP addresses 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.255.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 are available for assignment to the computers.

More about WLAN

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology that allows Ethernet networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable connections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Internet connection.

Standards

The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (on the basis of the preliminary draft 2.0 of the standard) and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n define the transmission rate within a wireless LAN. The IEEE 802.11i standard is a security standard. Standards for the Throughput Rate

Data Throughput

The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. WLAN adapters based on one or more of the standards listed can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box. The standards are intended for different frequency bands.
Standard Frequency Band Gross Data Throughput up to Net Data Throughput up to 802.11a 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n 5 GHz 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHz 2.4 / 5 GHz 54 Mbit/s 11 Mbit/s 54 Mbit/s 300 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s
The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and net transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission rate of the user data.

192.168.178.1 192.168.178.254 192.168.178.255 is used by the FRITZ!Box itself reserved for internal use broadcast address used to send messages into the network
The Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) service included in your FRITZ!Box provides status information about the FRITZ!Box to all connected computers. Programs with UPnP support on these computers can receive this information and use them to display the status of the FRITZ!Box (e.g., DSL synchronization, connection status, data transmission). UPnP service thus allows you to monitor your FRITZ!Box from a connected computer. The FRITZ!DSL software receives status information from the FRITZ!Box via UPnP.
Upon delivery the FRITZ!Box is assigned the following IP address: 192.168.178.1 If you would like to change the IP address, please read through the following sections. Also note the additional information in the section Reserved IP Addresses on page 156. When Does It Make Sense to Change the IP Address? You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box if the following apply to your network: You have an existing local IP network, one subnet with several computers. Fixed IP addresses are registered in the network settings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not permitted to change these addresses.

gateway

Gateway is a general term designating an interface between two computer networks. Such a network interface can be realized using a router or a bridge, for instance. If a computer wants to transfer data packets to a computer in another network, it must first transmit the packet to the gateway. To do this, the computer must know the address of the gateway. If all packets that cannot be delivered in a local network always are to be transmitted to their given recipients via the same gateway, for this purpose the address of the gateway must be saved as the default gateway in the network settings of the computer. Such a default gateway for the computer is negotiated automatically by the operating system or the dialing software whenever an ISDN-Controller or DSL-Controller establishes a connection to the Internet. If a router is used for the shared Internet access in a local network, the IP address of the router must be entered as the default gateway in the TCP/IP settings of each computer that wishes to use the Internet connection. If the TCP/IP setting is configured by means of a DHCP server, there is no need to enter the gateway address manually.
abbreviation for High Speed Downlink Packet Access HSDPA is a third-generation mobile radio standard based on the UMTS standard. HSDPA is distinguished by extremely high throughput rates (3.6 through 13.98 Mbit/s).
abbreviation for Internet Protocol The IP Internet protocol is the most important basic protocol for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection; in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender to the recipient without previous consultation. The addresses of the recipient and the sender in the data packets are given as IP addresses.

IP address

abbreviation for Internet Protocol address In IP-based networks, for instance in the Internet and local networks, all connected devices are addressed via their IP addresses. So that data packets are sure to be delivered to the right address, each IP address may be assigned only once within the Internet or a local IP network. The IP address consists of four three-digit groups of numbers (for instance, 192.168.178.247). Each group of numbers can assume values between 000 and 255. Every IP address contains two components: the network address and the host address. These two components can be read out of an IP address only if the subnet mask is also specified. IP addresses can be public or private, and also fixed or assigned dynamically. See the corresponding entries in the Glossary for more information.
