Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box IEEE 802.11b
With a maximum throughput rate of 11 Mbit/s, this is the oldest standard for radio networks. Older WLAN adapters of the first generation can communicate with the FRITZ!Box using 802.11b. However, if the WLAN adapter supports newer standards such as 802.11g, the latest standard should be used. This is currently the most common WLAN standard. It communicates with a maximum of 54 Mbit/s in the 2.4-GHz frequency range (ISM) and guarantees broad compatibility with many WLAN devices. However, due to heavy use of the 2.4-GHz range, interference is more common than in the less-used 5-GHz range. Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box In order to be able to set the right standard for throughput, you must first switch to the Expert Mode on the user interface: 1. 2. Select the menu Settings / Advanced Settings / System / Expert Mode. Select Show expert settings and then click Apply.

IEEE 802.11g

You must configure the standard you want to use for the transmission rate in the FRITZ!Box. The settings is configured in the Settings / WLAN / Radio Settings menu, in the Mode field. Note the following for the configuration of this setting: In order to communicate with each other, the FRITZ!Box and all WLAN adapters must work in the same frequency band. The standard you configure in the FRITZ!Box must be compatible with the standards of all WLAN adapters used in the WLAN. Make a note of which standards the WLAN adapters in your network are compatible with and then set the correct mode based on this information.
F!BoxFonWLAN-7170v2-e.book Seite 59 Freitag, 23. November 2007 3:41 15
The Standard for Security

IEEE 802.11i

The WPA security mechanism is defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 is an extension of the familiar security mechanism WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AES-CCM encryption process.
Mechanism WPA WPA2 Encryption TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol) TKIP AES-CCM based on the extremely secure AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) procedure. CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC) defines how the AES procedure is applied to WLAN packets.
FRITZ!Box supports the AES encryption procedure as part of the WPA2 mechanism, and the TKIP encryption procedure as part of the WPA mechanism. This means that the FRITZ!Box can be used in combination with any WLAN adapters that also support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.

Security

Security is of utmost importance within radio networks. Radio signals can also be received outside of office or residential spaces and abused for criminal purposes. Therefore it is important that no unauthorized users can register in a WLAN to use its Internet access or shared network resources. FRITZ!Box includes settings on various levels that contribute to the security of your WLAN and thus to the security of your computers.
F!BoxFonWLAN-7170v2-e.book Seite 60 Freitag, 23. November 2007 3:41 15

Encryption

Encryption The most important security setting is encryption. FRITZ!Box supports the security mechanisms WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 as follows: As part of the WEP mechanism a static key is determined to serve for the encryption of the user data. The key must also be entered in the WLAN settings of the WLAN clients. The WPA and WPA2 mechanisms provide for authentication while the connection is being established. For this a WPA password must be defined. When WPA is selected, the TKIP encryption method is used to encrypt the user data. In WPA2 the AES-CCMP encryption method is used. The security mechanis selected must also be supported by your WLAN adapter. The user data are encrypted using an automatically generated key. This key is regenerated at regular intervals. The WPA password used may be 8 to 63 characters in length. For increased security, however, the password should be at least 20 characters long. Use numerals, letters and special characters and combine capitals and lowercase letters. Encryption Configured in the Factory Settings In the FRITZ!Box a combined encryption WPA + WPA2 with the TKIP/AES-CCMP encryption method is preconfigured. This setting allows you to use WLAN adapters that support WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES-CCMP) or both methods. It is advisable to change the preconfigured WLAN key as soon as possible. Changes to the settings can be configured on the FRITZ!Box user interface.
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.

AVM expressly advises against performing firmware updates for USB devices connected to the computer via the USB remote connection on the FRITZ!Box. Before removing a USB storage device, select the Remove safely option in the FRITZ!Box user interface to prevent losses of data. To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box, only operate USB storage devices that require more than one USB port for operation (for instance hard drives with a Y cable) if they have their own power supply or a USB hub with its own power supply. AVM has no influence over external interference to the USB memory devices on the FRITZ!Box. Thus such phenomena as voltage spikes during storms may occur, and writing to older USB memory devices may corrupt the data structure due to a high number of defective structures. In such cases a complete loss of data may occur. Therefore AVM recommends always making a security copy of the USB memory content so that your data are not irretrievably lost just because losses may occur on the USB storage device.

Select from the WLAN Devices list the WLAN device that should be used as the WDS base station. If the FRITZ!Box is to be operated as a repeater, you must change its IP settings in the IP Settings for Repeater Operation area. IP address: Enter here the IP address for this FRITZ!Box, taking the following into consideration: The IP address must be different from the IP address of the WDS base station and must be from the IP address range of the WDS base station. Keep in mind that the IP address may not come from the address pool of the DHCP server of the WDS base station. Subnet mask: Enter, fo instance, the value 255.255.255.0 in this field. For more information, see the subnet mask entry in the glossary on page 185. Default gateway: Enter the IP address of the base station here. Primary DNS server: Enter the IP address of the base station here. Secondary DNS server: Enter the IP address of a second DNS server here.

Each IP address can be assigned only once.

Subnetwork

By default the option All computers are located in the same IP network is enabled in the FRITZ!Box. If the factory settings were not changed, this setting has the following effect: The DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box assigns all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box an IP address from the address range of the DHCP server. This means that all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located in the same IP network.

Disabling All computers are located in the same IP network
Disabling All computers are located in the same IP network If you switch off the setting All computers are located in the same IP network, the interfaces of the FRITZ!Box will receive their own IP addresses.

Factory Settings

Upon delivery the interfaces of the FRITZ!Box are configured as follows:
Interface LAN 1 LAN 2 LAN 3 LAN 4 WLAN IP Address like LAN 1 like LAN 1 like LAN 1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 DHCP Server enabled enabled enabled enabled enabled
192.168.178.1 255.255.255.0
192.168.182.1 255.255.255.0
Thus the following address pools are available to the DHCP server:
Interface LAN 1 LAN 2 LAN 3 LAN 4 WLAN Address Pool of the DHCP Server at the Interface 192.168.178.20 - 192.168.178.200 like LAN 1 like LAN 1 like LAN 1 192.168.182.20 - 192.168.182.200
Computers connected with the FRITZ!Box via different interfaces are located in different IP networks.
Interface LAN 1 LAN 2 LAN 3 LAN 4 WLAN Network Address of the IP Network 192.168.178.0 like LAN 1 like LAN 1 like LAN 1 192.168.182.0

ADSL-Controller

An ADSL-Controller is an electronic hardware module that allows a computer to access an ADSL line. ADSL-Controllers are stationary equipment, included on internal ADSL cards (for the PCI bus) or in external ADSL modems (with USB or Ethernet ports). The context menu is a menu that is normally not visible. The context menu opens only when you click a button, a graphic or a word with the right mouse button. Depending on where you clicked, the context menu contains only the most common menu commands for the given object. If you are using an Apple computer, push the Ctrl button while clicking.

abbreviation for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications DECT is a European standard for cordless telephony which was drafted by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute in 1991 and officially adopted in 1992. DECT defines the air interface between a mobile handset and its base station, and supports both voice transmission and data transmission with flexible transfer speeds.

default gateway DHCP

see gateway abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP is a protocol for the dynamic negotiation of the operating parameters for the TCP/IP protocol (TCP is a transport protocol based on the Internet protocol). The computers of a local IP network (DHCP clients) access the DHCP server as part of their operating systems start procedure. The central administration of the TCP/IP operation parameters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts caused by IP addresses accidentally assigned more than once.

DHCP server

The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that is has not yet been assigned at the present time. The DHCP server also informs the client of the IP addresses of the
F!BoxFonWLAN-7270-e.book Seite 178 Donnerstag, 7. April 2011 5:36 17
DNS server to be used and of the default gateway. In assigning the IP addresses the DHCP server selects from a prescribed pool of IP addresses. DNS abbreviation for Domain Name System A service called Domain Name Service takes care of determining the IP address for a given domain name. This Domain Name Service runs on every computer. It accepts the domain name entered by a user and inquires about the corresponding IP address at a DNS server known to the service. If a DNS server cannot answer the inquiry itself, it can inquire about the IP address (DNS resolution) at other DNS servers. If the Domain Name Service receives negative information from the DNS server (domain name not known), it can send inquiries to other DNS servers it knows or return a corresponding error message to the user. If it receives the desired IP address instead, the application can use the IP address to retrieve the destination desired by the user. This hierarchical system of DNS servers is known as the Domain Name System. The addresses of the DNS servers at which the Domain Name Service is to inquire by default generally are handed over to the computer by the Internet Service Provider automatically whenever a connection to the Internet is established. In local networks addresses can also be assigned via DHCP. Otherwise they must be entered manually in the TCP/IP settings of the computer by the user or the system administrator. DSL modem A DSL modem connects a computer to the Internet via the DSL line. In contrast to the analog modem, a connection via the DSL modem does not mean that the telephone line is busy. A combination of a DSL modem and a router is called a DSL router.
