5.2 Connecting Computers Wirelessly over WLAN
Using WLAN radio technology you can connect multiple com-
puters with the FRITZ!Box wirelessly.
Please note the following before establishing a wireless con-
nection between the computer and the FRITZ!Box:
•WLAN device
A computer to be connected to the FRITZ!Box via WLAN
must be equipped with a WLAN device for it to support
WLAN. A WLAN device can be an external WLAN adap-
ter—like a USB stick, for example—or a device integrated
in the computer. Many modern computers and note-
books come with a WLAN device integrated.
•WLAN security settings
In the FRITZ!Box, WLAN security settings are enabled up-
on delivery. Before a computer can establish a wireless
connection to the FRITZ!Box, the WLAN security settings
of the FRITZ!Box must be transferred to the WLAN device.
For this procedure the FRITZ!Box supports the two auto-
matic methods AVM Stick & Surf and WPS (Wi-Fi Protect-
ed Setup). The security settings can also be transferred
manually.
For more information on WLAN, see the section FRITZ!Box as
a WLAN Base Station from page 71.

of the settings has been concluded.
3. Remove the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.
4. Now insert the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick into the USB port
of the computer.
The security settings will be adopted and the WLAN connec-
tion between the FRITZ!Box and the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
will be established. As soon as the WLAN connection has
been established the computer is connected to the FRITZ!Box.
Establishing a WLAN Connection Using WPS
The FRITZ!Box supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WLAN
devices that also support WPS can be connected with your
FRITZ!Box securely using this method. All of the necessary
WLAN security settings are transferred in the process. There
are two kinds of WPS: the push-button method and the PIN
method.
WPS with the Push-button Method
The push-button method (WPS PBC) can be used if your WLAN
device is equipped with a WPS button, or if WPS can be en-
abled via the control software of the WLAN device.
See the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick manual for details.

WLAN devices are generally delivered with their own WLAN
software, which is installed in the computer along with the
WLAN device. By now many operating systems have WLAN
software included. Integrated WLAN devices sometimes use
the operating system’s WLAN software.
Installing a WLAN Device
If you need to use a separate WLAN device because you do
not have one integrated, then install the WLAN device in the
computer along with the corresponding WLAN software.
Please take note of the instructions in the documentation of
the device.
Transferring WLAN Security Settings
The values for WLAN security preconfigured in the FRITZ!Box
have to be transferred to the WLAN device.

Telephone Network” menu is always available, even when the
USB modem has been disconnected.
7.5 Configuring the Internet Connection over LAN 1: FRITZ!Box as a
Router
You can use the FRITZ!Box at an already existing Internet ac-
cess via the “LAN 1” socket. For this the FRITZ!Box is not con-
nected to the router or network. For this kind of connection
the FRITZ!Box can be configured as an independent router or
as an IP client in the existing network.
Configuring FRITZ!Box as a Router
You can configure the FRITZ!Box to work as an independent
router to provide a network with its own network address

as described in section Connecting with a Router/Net-
work on page 21.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
3. Select the “Internet / Account Information” menu.
4. Select the “Existing connection over LAN” entry from the
“Internet Service Provider” drop-down list.
Due to technical limitations on the part of the mobile com-
munications network providers, some limitations may arise
for Internet telephone calls and for applications requiring an
incoming connection. The same is true for using port for-
warding, sharing USB storage memory, remote access via
HTTPS, dynamic DNS and VPN. Contact your network provider
for details on any restrictions that may apply.

FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router
FRITZ!Box 7330 57
12 FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router
The FRITZ!Box connects computers in your home network with the
Internet. This chapter explains the possibilities offered by using the
FRITZ!Box as an Internet router and how to take advantage of them.
12.1 Child Protection: Restricting Internet Access
The child protection feature allows you to define access rules
to the Internet for individual computers or Windows users.
These access rules may include restrictions of Internet access
time, filter lists and a list with blocked network applications.
•Restrict Internet access time: Using the time restriction
you can restrict the amount of time the user can surf the
web. You can define on which days of the week, at what
times of day, and for how long a computer or Windows
user is allowed to use the Internet connection.
•Block or permit web sites: you can use filter lists to de-
fine which Internet pages are allowed to be accessed
and to which access is blocked. For instance, you can
block all Internet pages the government has defined as
offensive or harmful to minors.
You can create both filter lists, the whitelist and the
blacklist. A whitelist contains all Internet pages to which
access is allowed. A blacklist contains all Internet pages
to which access is blocked.
•Block network applications: You can list network appli-
cations for which Internet access should be blocked. For
instance, you can block Internet access for file-sharing
software.
Child protection can be enabled for each computer individu-
ally, regardless of the computer’s operating system.
You can also enable child protection individually for all Win-
dows users in all Windows operating systems (Windows 7,
Windows Vista and Windows XP). This option is useful if a
computer is used by multiple users.
FRITZ!Box 7330 58
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
The child protection feature is available only if you have set
up the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and established
an Internet connection. Child protection is not available if you
have configured the FRITZ!Box as an IP client. In this case, use
the corresponding functions of the router whose Internet con-
nection is being shared.
Setting Up Child Protection in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
2. Select the “Internet / Filters” menu.
3. Set up child protection. See the Online Help available in
the FRITZ!Box user interface for more information.
12.2 Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your com-
puter and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet. For
applications like online games and file sharing software or
server services like HTTP, FTP, VPN, terminal and remote ac-
cess servers you have to make your computer accessible for
other Internet users.
Port Forwarding
Using port forwarding, you allow incoming connections from
the Internet. By releasing certain ports for incoming connec-
tions, you grant controlled access to your computers in your
network to other Internet users. Ports serve to assign incom-
ing data packets to the various applications when all applica-
tions can be accessed at one IP address only.
The following port forwarding methods are possible in the
FRITZ!Box:
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
FRITZ!Box 7330 59
PING IPv4:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box.
IPv6:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv6 address of the
FRITZ!Box. Additionally, you can set up PING6
port forwarding rules for each computer in the
home network since each computer has its own
globally valid IPv6 address.
TCP
UDP
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when en-
tering the port range. One port can be opened for
exactly one computer.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when en-
tering the port range. One port can be opened for
each computer in the network.
ESP
GRE
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
for the two protocols ESP and GRE which do not
use ports.
Exposed Host
(Open firewall
completely)
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
for one computer completely. This computer is
then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box fire-
wall. If individual ports are already open for other
computers, then data packets for these ports are
not forwarded to the exposed host but to the oth-
er computer instead.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the firewall
for each computer completely. These computers
are then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box
firewall.
FRITZ!Box 7330 60
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
Setting Up Port Forwarding in the FRITZ!Box
•IPv4: Port forwarding for IPv4 is set up in the “Internet /
Permit Access” menu, on the “Port Forwarding” page.
•IPv6: Enable the advanced view. Port forwarding for IPv6
is also set up in the “Internet / Permit Access” menu, on
the “IPv6” page.
Determining the IPv4 Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box
If you have enabled ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box, oth-
er Internet users can access your computers at the IP address
assigned to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet service provider.
This is a public IPv4 address.
Here is how to determine the public IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box:
1. Open any Internet page in order to establish an Internet
connection.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface and enable the ad-
vanced view in the user interface.
3. The FRITZ!Box’s public IPv4 address is displayed on the
“Overview” page in the “Connections” area.
Every time the Internet connection is interrupted the Internet
service provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address
may change in the process. Therefore it is a good idea to use
MyFRITZ! or dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always

FRITZ!Box 7330 61
12.3 Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
Dynamic DNS is an Internet service that makes it possible for
the FRITZ!Box to remain accessible from the Internet at all
times under a fixed name, even though the public IP address
changes.
Dynamic DNS can be used as an alternative to MyFRITZ!. Both
services can be used in parallel.
You must register with a dynamic DNS provider to use this
service. When you register, you agree on the fixed name (do-
main name) at which your FRITZ!Box should be accessible
from the Internet. You also define a user name and password.
Every time the IP address changes, the FRITZ!Box transmits
the new IP address to the dynamic DNS provider in the form of
an update request. Then the domain name is assigned to the
current IP address by the dynamic DNS provider.
Setting Up Dynamic DNS in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
4. Select the “Dynamic DNS” page and set up dynamic
DNS. Consult the Online Help available in the FRITZ!Box
user interface for more information.
12.4 Remote Access over HTTPS
With this function it is possible to access the user interface of
the FRITZ!Box from another location. This allows you to con-
figure settings in the FRITZ!Box or perform a FRITZ!OS update
using a computer that is not in your own network (LAN or
WLAN).
Setting Up Remote Access over HTTPS in the FRITZ!Box

12.5 Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Prioritization is a function you can use to specify that network
applications and network devices be treated with higher or
lower priority when they access the Internet connection. For
example, you may wish to ensure that applications like Inter-
net telephony, IPTV and video on demand are always treated
with higher priority than other applications. You can also
specify that file-sharing applications like eMule and BitTor-
rent always have to wait behind online games.
Categories for Prioritization
There are three categories for prioritization: “real-time appli-
cations”, “prioritized applications” and “background appli-
cations”. The categories are explained below.
Network applications and network devices are assigned to
the categories using rules.
Real-time Applications
•Network applications of this category always have priori-
ty over other applications accessing the Internet at the
same time.
•When the Internet connection is working at full capacity,
the network packets of the applications of this category
will always be sent first. In this case data from network
applications assigned to other categories, like “priori-
tized applications”, will be transmitted later.
•If multiple network applications are assigned to this cat-
egory, then they must share the available capacity.
•Whenever Internet telephony is included in this catego-
ry, this application always has the highest priority, even
over other real-time applications.
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
FRITZ!Box 7330 63
Prioritized Applications
This category is suitable for applications that require a fast re-
action time (for example, company access, terminal applica-
tions, games).
•For network applications prioritized in this category,
90% of the FRITZ!Box’s upload bandwidth is available,
as long as no application from the “real-time applica-
tions” category requires bandwidth. The remaining 10%
of the upload bandwidth is available for applications
that are prioritized in lower categories or not prioritized
at all.
•If multiple network applications are assigned to the “pri-
oritized applications” category, then they must share
the available capacity.
Background Applications
This category is suitable for applications that do not require
any high transmission speed and which are not time-critical
(for example, peer-to-peer services or automatic updates).
•Network applications assigned to this category are al-
ways treated with the lowest priority when the Internet
connection is working at full capacity. So whenever an
application from a different category or a non-prioritized
application requires the entire bandwidth, all back-
ground applications must wait until bandwidth capacity
becomes available again.
•If no other network applications are active, then the
background applications receive the entire bandwidth.
Prioritization Method in the FRITZ!Box
The following algorithm is used in the FRITZ!Box to send data
packets according to their prioritization:
•Change in the order in which packets are sent to the
Internet (upstream direction)
The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the
Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed.
FRITZ!Box 7330 64
VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network
•Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the trans-
mission of higher-priority packets. This algorithm is
used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to
the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the
Internet connection allows.
•As long as no packets are being sent from higher-priority
applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet
connection is available for low-priority packets.
Setting Up Prioritization in the FRITZ!Box
1. Enable the advanced view.
2. Prioritization is set up in the “Internet / Filters / Prioriti-
zation” menu.
12.6 VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network
Via VPN (see glossary) a secure remote access to the network
of the FRITZ!Box can be established. The VPN solution for the
FRITZ!Box features the following:
•The VPN solution for the FRITZ!Box is based on the IPSec
standard.
•Computer-LAN coupling and LAN-LAN coupling: VPN con-
nections can be set up for individual remote computers
or even for remote networks.
•A maximum of eight simultaneous active VPN connec-
tions is supported.
•The configuration files for the VPN connections are creat-
ed using a separate program. The program is provided
free of charge and can be downloaded from the AVM web
site.
•A free VPN client for individual computers can also be
downloaded from the AVM web site.
The AVM web site offers a Service Portal which presents com-
prehensive information on VPN in general and in connection
with the FRITZ!Box. Visit this portal to obtain more detailed
information.

2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
4. Select the “VPN” page.
See the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box to set up VPN.
Supplementary Software for VPN
All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configu-
ration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive
this file.
Individual computers that are networked over a VPN require a
VPN client.
•“Configure FRITZ!Box VPN Connection” Wizard
AVM provides the “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN” software
for creating configuration files. This program is a Wizard
that takes you step by step through the VPN configura-
tion. All of the necessary VPN settings, like the encryp-
tion method and access rules, are set automatically. The
resulting configuration files must be imported to the re-
spective terminals of the VPN tunnel. At the terminal
with the FRITZ!Box the configuration file is then imported
to the FRITZ!Box. The VPN parameters in these files can
be adjusted manually to connect to products by other
manufacturers.
•The “FRITZ!VPN” VPN Client
AVM offers the “FRITZ!VPN” software as a VPN client.
Both the Wizard and the client can be downloaded free of
charge from the VPN Service Portal on the AVM web site:

DNS Server: Freely Selectable
12.7 DNS Server: Freely Selectable
DNS servers are preset in the FRITZ!Box for IPv4 and IPv6.
These are the DNS servers assigned by the Internet service
provider.
For both IPv4 and IPv6, the preset DNS server can be replaced
by a free DNS server. Free DNS servers include, for instance,
OpenDNS and Google DNS.
Here is how to change the DNS server entry:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. In the “Internet / Account Information” menu, select the
“DNS Server” page.
4. Change the settings for the DNS servers.
12.8 DNSSEC: Security for DNS Queries
DNSSEC is short for Domain Name System Security Exten-
sions. As the name says, this is an extension of DNS, the
domain name system.
DNSSEC ensures that both the DNS server and the informa-
tion returned by the DNS server are authentic, or genuine.
Security with DNSSEC
When a home user surfs the web, she or he sends queries to
the Internet by entering URLs in the address line of the brows-
er. A URL is the name of a web site that is easy to remember,
such as www.avm.de/en. Every query is sent to the DNS serv-
er first. The DNS server resolves the URL into the correspond-
ing IP address. There is one unambiguous IP address for
every URL.
The “DNSv6 Server” area is displayed only if you en-
abled IPv6 support for the FRITZ!Box on the “IPv6” page.
IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
FRITZ!Box 7330 67
The home user relies on the authenticity of the IP address re-
turned by the DNS server. Authentic means that the response
is the IP address of the desired web site, and not a faked IP
address that leads to a fake web site. DNSSEC can ensure that
the returned addresses are authentic.
Support with the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box supports DNSSEC queries over UDP.
The FRITZ!Box has a DNS proxy. The computers in the home
network use the FRITZ!Box as a DNS server. The FRITZ!Box for-
wards DNSSEC queries from the home network to the Inter-
net. The FRITZ!Box forwards DNSSEC responses from the
Internet to the home network. The DNSSEC information must
be validated on the computer in the home network. For this
DNSSEC must be supported in the operating system.
12.9 IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
IPv6 stands for Internet protocol version 6 and is the succes-
sor to IPv4.
The FRITZ!Box supports the new IPv6 web protocol and can
establish IPv6 connections:
•IPv6 support can be switched on in the FRITZ!Box user
interface.
•For simultaneous use of IPv6 and IPv4, the FRITZ!Box
supports dual-stack and dual-stack lite. This means that
the FRITZ!Box can communicate with both IPv4 and IPv6
domains in the Internet.
•The FRITZ!Box supports native IPv6 and IPv6 with a tun-
nel protocol. Native IPv6 means that your Internet
service provider supports IPv6 directly on your line.

You can establish connections in the IPv6 range of the Inter-
net only if IPv6 is installed and enabled on the computers in
your home network.
•IPv6 is already installed and enabled in the Windows 7
and Windows Vista operating systems.
•IPv6 is not installed and enabled in standard
Windows XP. You must install and enable IPv6 in order to
use it. The IPv6 installation requires Service Pack 2 for
Windows XP.
•IPv6 has been available in the Mac OS X operating sys-
tems since Mac OS 10.
12.10Mobile Nnetwork: Replacing Faulty DSL
Internet access over the mobile telephone network can be set
up so that the mobile telephone connection is established
automatically whenever the DSL connection fails. This guar-
antees Internet access even when the DSL connection is
missing. A USB modem for mobile Internet access
(UMTS/HSPA) and a SIM card from a mobile communications
provider are required for this. The FRITZ!Box supports
UMTS/HSPA modems from various manufacturers.
Here is how to set up the mobile telephone connection as a
substitute upon DSL failure:
1. Insert the USB modem in the USB port on the FRITZ!Box.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
In the “Internet” menu, the sub-menu “Mobile Tele-
phone Network” is displayed.
3. Select the setting “Automatically enable the mobile con-
nection when the DSL connection is disrupted”.
The “Mobile Telephone Network” menu is not available
until the UMTS/HSPA modem has been connected to the
USB port of the FRITZ!Box.

FRITZ!Box as a WLAN Base Station
FRITZ!Box 7330 71
13 FRITZ!Box as a WLAN Base Station
The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN base station for WLAN devices like note-
books, tablets or smartphones. The FRITZ!Box can establish WLAN
connections compliant with the fast WLAN N standard. The FRITZ!Box
is preconfigured with an encryption method from today’s safest meth-
od WPA2. This encryption method is supported by most of the latest
WLAN devices. The FRITZ!Box supports wireless LAN convenience
functions like guest access, night service and WPS Quick Connection.
13.1 Connecting WLAN Devices Securely with the FRITZ!Box
In a WLAN radio network security is of the utmost importance.
This is why WLAN connections between the FRITZ!Box and
your wireless devices are encrypted. For encryption the
FRITZ!Box and your wireless devices must use the same en-
cryption method. The FRITZ!Box is preconfigured with an en-
cryption method that combines today’s safest methods WPA
and WPA2. These encryption methods are supported by most
of the latest wireless devices.
If you would like to use wireless devices that do not support
WPA2 or WPA, you can switch encryption in the FRITZ!Box to
the older, less secure WEP method. You can also establish
non-encrypted wireless LAN connections. However, if at all
possible we recommend always establishing WPA2 wireless
LAN connections.
WLAN devices can be connected with the FRITZ!Box automati-
cally or manually. A particularly simple and secure automatic
method is WPS, with which a WLAN connection can be estab-
lished at the touch of a button. For manual WLAN connections
with the FRITZ!Box use the WLAN software of your WLAN
device or the WLAN program on your computer.
Connecting WLAN Devices Automatically (WPS)
WLAN devices that support the fast connection method WPS
can be connected with the FRITZ!Box automatically.
1. Start the WPS function of your WLAN device. Consult the
documentation of the WLAN device to find out how to
start WPS.
FRITZ!Box 7330 72
Connecting WLAN Devices Securely with the FRITZ!Box
2. Press the WLAN button on the FRITZ!Box until the
“WLAN” LED begins flashing. You have 2 minutes for this
task.
3. Your WLAN device and the FRITZ!Box now establish a se-
cure WLAN connection automatically. The WLAN-
FRITZ!Box LED stops flashing and remains on.
With this, the WLAN connection is established. Your WLAN
device is integrated into your home network and can use the
Internet connection of the FRITZ!Box.
Connecting WLAN Devices Manually
You can connect WLAN devices with the FRITZ!Box manually.
WLAN devices like notebooks, tablets and smartphones use
the WLAN software of their own operating system for this con-
nection. A WLAN adapter at the USB port of your computer
can use the WLAN software of your computer or a WLAN pro-
gram of its own. No matter what program is used to establish
the WLAN connection, the principle is the same: the WLAN
software searches for a WLAN radio network in the vicinity
and, after authorization with a WLAN key, enables the WLAN
connection between the FRITZ!Box and your WLAN device.
1. Make sure that the WLAN function of the FRITZ!Box is en-
abled and the “WLAN” LED is on. If “WLAN” is not on,
press the “WLAN” button briefly.
2. Start the WLAN software of your WLAN device. Consult
the documentation of your WLAN device for instructions.
3. Search for the WLAN radio network of your FRITZ!Box.
Upon delivery this network is called
“FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7330”.
4. Enter the WLAN key of the FRITZ!Box.
With this, the WLAN connection is established. Your WLAN
device is integrated into your home network and can use the
Internet connection of the FRITZ!Box.
Connecting WLAN Devices with the FRITZ!Box Guest Access
FRITZ!Box 7330 73
13.2 Connecting WLAN Devices with the FRITZ!Box Guest Access
With the FRITZ!Box you can provide your guests with an Inter-
net connection of their own. At this guest access they can surf
the web with their own smartphones or tablets, but cannot
access the contents of your home network.
You can set up a guest access if you have connected the
FRITZ!Box directly to your DSL line. If the FRITZ!Box is connect-
ed in another way, for instance to a cable modem, you cannot
set up guest access.
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Make sure that the wireless radio network (WLAN) is en-
abled in the “WLAN / Radio Network” menu.
3. Select the “WLAN / Guest Access” menu and enable
guest access.
4. Assign a name for the guest wireless network (SSID) and
enter a WLAN key at least 20 characters long under
“Security”.
This concludes the setup of your guest access. Now guests
can register their WLAN devices with the FRITZ!Box.
1. Your guest starts the WLAN software of her or his WLAN
device, searches for your guest wireless network and en-
ters the WLAN key you specified for authorization.
2. The WLAN connection will be established.
Your guest’s WLAN device can use the Internet connection of
the FRITZ!Box, but has no access to your home network. For
more information, see the Online Help.

Switching the WLAN Radio Network On and Off by Schedule
13.3 Switching the WLAN Radio Network On and Off by Schedule
You can switch the WLAN radio network of the FRITZ!Box auto-
matically according to a schedule. This function is called
“night service” and reduces the power consumption of the
FRITZ!Box by completely turning off the WLAN module. The
FRITZ!Box night service also affects any other FRITZ! products
connected in the network (FRITZ!WLAN Repeater, for instance)
by switching the WLAN transmission of these devices on and
off as well.
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Open the “System / Night Service” menu.
3. Enable the schedule for the WLAN radio network.
With the options “Switch WLAN off daily” and “Switch
WLAN off according to schedule” you define the inter-
vals of the schedule. You can also select the option “The
radio network cannot be switched off until no more
WLAN devices are active”.
For more information on these settings, see the Online Help.
Switching WLAN on and off Manually
You can switch the wireless radio network of the FRITZ!Box on
and off at any time, even when the device is hibernating.

Or you can set up a second WLAN router, for instance a sec-
ond FRITZ!Box as a WDS repeater.
Expanding a WLAN Radio Network with a WLAN
Repeater
You can expand your WLAN radio network with a WLAN re-
peater. In combination with the FRITZ!Box the AVM
FRITZ!WLAN Repeaters are especially suitable. All models of
the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater series can be integrated into your
WLAN radio network and your home network by WPS Quick
Connection. Find out more in the Internet at:
www.avm.de/en/Produkte/FRITZ_WLAN/FRITZ_WLAN_

Expanding a WLAN Radio Network with a WDS Repeater
You can expand the WLAN radio network of your FRITZ!Box
with what is called a WDS repeater. A WDS repeater can be a
FRITZ!Box or any WLAN router you already have that can be
configured as a WDS repeater to expand your WLAN radio net-
work.
FRITZ!Box 7330 76
WLAN—Getting Technical
See the documentation of your device to find out whether
your existing WLAN router supports the WDS function and
how to configure it as a WDS repeater. Your FRITZ!Box or an-
other FRITZ!Box model can be configured as a WDS repeater
by working through the following steps:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Select “View: Advanced”.
3. Select the “WLAN / WDS” menu and follow the instruc-
tions displayed on the screen.
See the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box for more information.
13.5 WLAN—Getting Technical
A wireless LAN radio network is based on standards defined
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
These standards describe, for instance, the transmission
speeds, encryption methods and frequencies used in a wire-
less LAN network.
WLAN Standards
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) de-
fined the WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i for WLAN radio
networks.
Standards for the Throughput Rate
The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and net
transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission
rate of the user data.
The wireless LAN connection between your FRITZ!Box and a
FRITZ!Box in WDS operation can be encrypted by WPA2. The
wireless LAN connection between your FRITZ!Box and anoth-
er wireless LAN router is only possible with less secure WEP
encryption.
WLAN—Getting Technical
FRITZ!Box 7330 77
The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. WLAN devices
based on one or more of the standards listed can be used for
WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.
IEEE 802.11b
With a maximum throughput rate of 11 Mbit/s, this is the old-
est WLAN standard. Older WLAN devices of the first genera-
tion can communicate with the FRITZ!Box using 802.11b.
However, if the WLAN device supports newer standards such
as 802.11g, the latest standard should be used.
IEEE 802.11g
This is currently the most common WLAN standard. It commu-
nicates with a maximum of 54 Mbit/s gross in the 2.4-GHz
frequency range (ISM) and guarantees broad compatibility
with many WLAN devices.
IEEE 802.11n
This standard allows for high throughput rates and ranges.
The FRITZ!Box supports 802.11n in the 2.4-GHz frequency
band. Modulation processes and antenna techniques like
MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) use the frequency
band more effectively than the older standards.
Thanks to compatibility with the 802.11g standard, you can
also continue to use older WLAN devices.
Standard Frequency Band Gross Data Throughput up to Net Data Throughput up to
802.11b 2.4 GHz 11 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s
802.11g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
802.11n 2.4 GHz 300 Mbit/s 150 Mbit/s
The use of the 802.11n standard—and thus the availability
of higher throughput rates—is possible only if the WLAN con-
nection is secured using the WPA2 security mechanism (AES-
CCMP).
FRITZ!Box 7330 78
WLAN—Getting Technical
Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box
The throughput rate that can be achieved in your WLAN radio
network depends on the WLAN standards used by the inte-
grated WLAN devices. These WLAN standards must also be
set in the FRITZ!Box. Proceed as follows to check which WLAN
standards are set and change them if needed:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu and select “Ad-
just radio channel settings” to make the desired chang-
es.
Make a note of which standards the WLAN devices in your
network are compatible with and then adjust the FRITZ!Box
settings according to the following information:
•Your radio network integrates only WLAN devices that
are compatible with one or both of the following stan-
dards:
802.11n
802.11g
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11n+g
The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used.
•Your radio network integrates only WLAN devices that
are compatible with one or both of the following stan-
dards:
802.11b
802.11g
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11b+g
The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used.

802.11b
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11n+g+b
The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used.
The Standard for Security
IEEE 802.11i
The WPA2 security mechanism is defined in the IEEE 802.11i
standard. WPA2 is an extension of the familiar security mech-
anism WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AES-
CCMP encryption process.
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 devices that also
support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.
Mechanism Encryption
WPA TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol)
WPA2 TKIP
AES-CCMP
based on the extremely secure AES (Advanced
Encryption Standard) procedure. CCMP (Coun-
ter Mode with CBC-MAC Protocol) defines how
the AES procedure is applied to WLAN pack-
ets.
FRITZ!Box 7330 80
WLAN—Getting Technical
Frequency Ranges
WLAN uses the frequency ranges at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as its
transmission range.
With the FRITZ!Box you can establish WLAN connections in
the 2.4-GHz range.
2.4-GHz Frequency Band
In the 2.4-GHz frequency band WLAN works in the same range
as Bluetooth, microwave devices and various other devices
like radio-controlled toys, garage-door openers and video
bridges. This means that interference may occur within
WLANs operated in the vicinity of such devices. Generally this
has adverse effects on the transmission rate, including abort-
ed connections.
In the 2.4-GHz frequency range the European regulation au-
thorities have designated 13 channels for WLAN.
A channel can have a bandwidth of 20 MHz (throughput of up
to 130 Mbit/s) or 40 MHz (throughput of up to 300 Mbit/s).
Channels located directly next to each other in the 2.4-GHz
band may overlap and result in mutual interference. For in-
stance, if several WLANs are operated close to each other in
the 2.4-GHz frequency range with a bandwidth of 20 MHz, a
distance of at least five channels should be left empty be-
tween each two channels used. This means that if channel 1
is selected for one WLAN, the channels 6 through 13 can be
selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum dis-
tance between channels.
Should interference in a WLAN persist, the first step should
be to select a different channel.
WLAN—Getting Technical
FRITZ!Box 7330 81
WLAN Autochannel
With the WLAN autochannel function, the FRITZ!Box automati-
cally searches for the channel subject to the least interfer-
ence. This process takes into consideration interference from
radio networks in the vicinity (WLAN base stations) and po-
tential sources of interference (for instance video bridges, ba-
by monitors, microwave ovens). Should problems with inter-

17 Network Devices in the FRITZ!Box Home Network
All network devices connected with the FRITZ!Box comprise a network.
Network devices include, for instance, computers, game consoles and
smartphones. The devices can be connected with the FRITZ!Box by ca-
ble or wirelessly. This chapter describes the network settings in the
FRITZ!Box and how you can change them. You will also learn how you
can change the IP settings for the computer in the most common oper-
ating systems.
17.1 Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box is delivered with preconfigured network set-
tings. According to these settings, all network devices con-
nected with the FRITZ!Box are located in a single network.
The network settings can be changed and adapted to your
conditions and needs. But you should do so only if you are
well versed in networking technology.
Network Overview
The FRITZ!Box user interface shows an overview with all of the
devices and users connected with the FRITZ!Box.
The network overview “Devices and Users” is found in the
menu “Home Network / Network”.
•For each user and each network device, you find an entry
in the network overview. The columns have the following
meanings:
•If you use FRITZ!Powerline devices in your network, then
the FRITZ!Powerline devices are entered in the network
overview along with the network devices connected to
the FRITZ!Powerline devices.
•The Network Overview is divided into the areas “Active
Connections”, “Guest Network” and “Idle Connections”.
The Glossary (page 164) explains concepts and terminology
having to do with IP networks.

FRITZ!Box 7330 107
Always Assigning the Same IP Address
The editing mode for network devices includes the setting
“Always assign this network device the same IP address”.
When this setting is enabled for a network device, the DHCP
server of the FRITZ!Box will always assign the same IP address
to this device each time the connection is established.
Starting the Computer—Wake on LAN
The Wake on LAN function of computers can be enabled in the
editing mode for network devices. The computers must sup-
port Wake on LAN and be connected with the FRITZ!Box with a
network cable. The Wake on LAN function is also available
when the devices are connected via FRITZ!Powerline devices.
Wake on LAN is a function that allows a computer in the local
network to be started when it is accessed from the Internet.
For instance, you can access a computer using remote main-
tenance software, without wasting electricity by keeping the
computer switched on permanently. The computer must be in
standby operation.
The FRITZ!Box supports Wake on LAN both for IPv4 and for
IPv6 connections.
•The “Start Computer” Button
You can start the computer each time it is accessed over
the Internet by clicking the “Start Computer” button.

Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
FRITZ!Box 7330 109
If you would like to change the IPv4 address, please read
through the following sections.
When Does It Make Sense to Change the IPv4 Address?
You should change the IPv4 address of the FRITZ!Box if the
following apply to your network:
•You have an existing local IPv4 network, one subnet with
several computers.
•Fixed IPv4 addresses are registered in the network set-
tings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not
permitted to change these addresses.
•You want to connect the FRITZ!Box to the local IPv4 net-
work in order to make the FRITZ!Box features available to
all of the computers in the IPv4 network.
Reserved IP Addresses
The entire IP network 192.168.180.0 in the FRITZ!Box is re-
served for internal purposes.
IPv4 addresses from this network may not be assigned to the
FRITZ!Box.
DHCP Server for IPv4
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCP server for the
IPv4 network. The DHCP server is enabled by default in the
factory settings. The following range of IP addresses is re-
served for the DHCP server in the factory settings:
192.168.178.20 - 192.168.178.200
This IP address can be changed as needed.
Every time the operating system on a computer connected
with FRITZ!Box is started, the DHCP server assigns it an IPv4
address from the IP address range of the DHCP server.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
FRITZ!Box 7330 110
Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that
all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located
in the same IP network.
Fixed IPv4 Addresses When the DHCP Server Is Enabled
If you would like to configure fixed IPv4 addresses on individ-
ual computers connected with the FRITZ!Box despite the en-
abled DHCP server, please note the following:
•The IPv4 addresses must be from the IPv4 network of the
FRITZ!Box.
•The IPv4 addresses may not come from the address
range of the DHCP server.
•Each IPv4 address can be assigned only once.
Disabling the DHCP Server
You can disable the DHCP server.
To make sure that all computers remain in the same IP net-
work when the DHCP server is disabled, you must enter the
IPv4 addresses manually in the computers’ network settings.
First disable the option “Obtain an IP address automatically”
and then enter the IP address manually in the appropriate
field.
In the case of the preset IPv4 address of the FRITZ!Box, the
following IPv4 addresses are available for assignment to the
computers:
The computers can receive their IPv4 addresses from the
DHCP server only if the setting “Obtain an IPv4 address auto-
matically” is enabled in the their IP settings. For more infor-
mation, see the section Obtaining an IP Address Automati-
cally from page 113.
192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.254
Here too: each IPv4 address can be assigned only once.

Additional IPv6 Routers in the Home Network
•IPv6 prefixes from other IPv6 routers
You can allow the network devices connected to the
FRITZ!Box to receive IPv6 prefixes announced by other
IPv6 routers in the local network.
•Also announce DNSv6 server via router advertisement
With this setting you specify that the FRITZ!Box announc-
es the local DNSv6 server in the local network via router
advertisement. Alternatively, the network devices can
identify the local DNSv6 server via DHCPv6.
Please note that changes to the network settings in the
FRITZ!Box may make it necessary to adjust the network set-
tings of your computers so that you can continue to access
the FRITZ!Box user interface.

IPv6 Settings
Click the “IPv6 Addresses” button to configure settings for
the IPv6 addresses in the local network.
Unique Local Adresses
The communication within the local network takes place via
the Unique Local Addresses (ULA). If no IPv6 Internet connec-
tion is established, the network devices do not have a ULA
and communication between them is restricted. For this case
you can set the FRITZ!Box such that the network devices re-
ceive the ULA from the FRITZ!Box.
DHCPv6 Servers in the Home Network
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCPv6 server. the
DHCPv6 server of the FRITZ!Box is switched on by default.
The DHCPv6 server assigns the network devices their IPv6
settings. These settings are used instead of the data in the
router advertisement messages. The DNS server, IPv6 prefix-
es or IPv6 addresses can all be assigned by DHCPv6. Define
which IPv6 settings should be assigned by the DHCPv6 serv-
er.
UPnP Settings
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., connection status,
data transmission). UPnP service thus allows you to monitor
your FRITZ!Box from a connected computer.
Here is how to change the UPnP settings:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Configure the UPnP settings in the “Home Network / Net-
work” menu on the “Programs” page.

USB Devices in the FRITZ!Box Home Network
18 USB Devices in the FRITZ!Box Home Network
The FRITZ!Box has two USB ports to which you can connect various
USB devices. All network devices in the FRITZ!Box home network can
use these USB devices jointly and simultaneously.
This chapter describes how to share a printer in the network, which
USB devices can be used in your FRITZ!Box home network, and how to
use these devices safely.
18.1 Power Supply for USB Devices
You can connect USB devices with the following properties to
the FRITZ!Box:
•Some USB devices require more than one USB port for
operation, for instance, hard drives with a USB Y cable.
Connect this type of USB devices to the FRITZ!Box using
a USB hub with its own power supply.
•The total current consumption of connected USB devices
without their own power supply may not exceed 500 mA.
Check the rating plates of the connected USB devices.
USB devices that exceed the total current consumption
of 500 mA can be connected to the FRITZ!Box using a
USB hub with its own power supply.
18.2 USB Devices on the FRITZ!Box
These USB devices can be connected to the FRITZ!Box:
•You can connect up to four USB storage media like hard
disks, USB flash drives or card readers.
•USB storage media must use the file systems EXT2, FAT,
FAT32 or NTFS. On storage media with the FAT and FAT32
file systems you can use files up to a size of 4 GB. In the
EXT2 and NTFS file systems there is no limit to the size of
files that can be used.
•You can connect one standard USB printer or one all-in-
one device with scanner and fax function. The complete
range of functions available in a all-in-one printers
Using USB Devices Safely

device is guaranteed only with the USB remote connec-
tion of the FRITZ!Box (see also: Sharing a USB Printer on
page 119).
•You can connect a USB hub to the FRITZ!Box and use up
to four USB devices at this hub.
You can use USB hubs with or without a separate power
supply. We recommend deploying a USB hub with its
own power supply if the USB devices to be connected ex-
ceed a total current consumption of 500 mA (see also:
Power Supply for USB Devices on page 116).
•You can connect a USB stick from the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick series by AVM to conveniently establish secure
WLAN connections using AVM Stick & Surf (see:
Establishing a WLAN Connection with AVM Stick & Surf
on page 26).
18.3 Using USB Devices Safely
Follow the instructions below about how to use USB devices
on your FRITZ!Box.
•The FRITZ!Box can not defend the USB memory from ex-
ternal influences. This means that voltage spikes or
drops, like those that occur during electrical storms, may
lead to data losses on connected USB storage media. We
recommend making regular backups of the USB memory
contents to avoid any losses.
•Whenever you want to remove USB devices from the
FRITZ!Box, go to the “Home Network / USB Devices” area
in the FRITZ!Box user interface to remove them safely
and avoid any loss of data.

To protect the data on your USB memory from unauthorized
access, you can set up a password and access rights. Both
the password protection and the access rights are valid on all
memory available in the FRITZ!Box home network. You can
not assign special passwords or access rights for individual
storage media.
1. Start a web browser.
2. Enter “fritz.box” in the address line.
3. Go to the “Home Network / Storage (NAS)” and select
the “Security” tab.
4. Configure the access rights and password protection.
18.5 Accessing USB Memory
The participants in the home network have various possibili-
ties for accessing the various storage media of the FRITZ!Box.
•Home network members can access the contents of con-
nected USB memory and all other memory of the
FRITZ!Box especially conveniently with FRITZ!NAS. For
this FRITZ!NAS offers a graphic interface and allows data
exchange by drag & drop.
•Participants in the home network can use FTP software
like FireFTP to exchange files among the FRITZ!Box stor-
age media and workplaces.
Alternatively, you can enter ftp://fritz.box in the address
line of your Internet browser to access the storage media
of the FRITZ!Box.
If you would like to use FTP software, see the documen-
tation of the software as well as the instructions in the
Online Help of the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Note that you cannot set up password protection and access
rights if the USB remote connection is active.

•For access to media data like music, images and videos
available on the memory or on storage media of the
FRITZ!Box you can enable the FRITZ!Box media server.
Suitable playback devices like TV sets, web radios,
smartphones and the Windows Media Player can then
call up the data for streaming from the media server.
Playback devices to be used in connection with the me-
dia server must support the UPnP AV standard. The term
“DLNA” is often used to designate this support.
Enable the “media server” function in the FRITZ!Box user
interface under “Home Network / Storage (NAS) / Op-
tions Enabled”.
18.6 Sharing a USB Printer
You can connect a USB printer to the USB port of the
FRITZ!Box to make it available to all participants in your home
network. You can either release the printer for sharing as a
network printer or use the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection
software to connect it with a computer. Which option is pref-
erable depends on how you intend to use the printer.
Using a USB Printer as a Network Printer
Configure the USB printer as a network printer on the
FRITZ!Box if
•the participants in the home network are to be able to
use the printer jointly and simultaneously.
•the printer is to be used by computers that use an oper-
ating system other than Windows (e.g. Mac OS X or
Linux).
For information about how to configure a USB printer as a net-
work printer, see the section Setting Up a USB Printer as a
Network Printer on page 120.

The DSL/telephone cable is a special combined cable devel-
oped by AVM to connect the FRITZ!Box to the DSL splitter and
the analog telephone line.
If you need a longer cable, you can extend one or multiple
ends of the cable. You will need the following components to
extend the cable:
•1 standard network cable
•1 standard RJ45 CAT-5 double coupling
Both components are available from specialized vendors.
Network Cable
The network cable (yellow) of the FRITZ!Box 7330 is a stan-
dard category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cable. Please use a standard
STP-type (Shielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cable of category 5
(Cat 5) to replace or extend the Ethernet cable. To extend the
cable you will need a shielded RJ45 double coupling (Cat 5)
with a 1:1 pin assignment. You can use both straight cables
and crosslink cables. All components are available from spe-
cialized vendors.
When components of a category smaller than Cat 5 are used,
reduced transmission rates may result.
AVM recommends using a network cable no more than
100 meters long.
We recommend that cable be extended with a standard net-
work cable to a length of no more than 10 meters.

ADSL
short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
ADSL (G.992.1/G.992.2) was developed on the basis of DSL
technology in order to satisfy the increasing demand for high-
er throughput rates during uploading and downloading.
Designates a fast kind of data transmission that works with
standard copper cables and transports signals in both direc-
tions at different speeds (upstream at 640 Kbit/s and down-
stream at up to 9 Mbit/s).
ADSL2
short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2
ADSL2 (G.992.3) is a further development of the ADSL stan-
dard.
ADSL2 offers range much greater than did the first ADSL gen-
eration, and is significantly more robust than ADSL, as it can
simply disable single carrier frequencies when they produce
interference. This feature allows ADSL2 to prevent synchroni-
zation losses.
With a throughput rate of up to 12 Mbit/s downstream,
ADSL2 offers considerably greater bandwidth than ADSL.
ADSL2 is completely downward compatible, meaning that ter-
minal devices compliant with ADSL can also be operated on
ADSL2 lines, although they cannot exploit the advantages of
ADSL2.
In practice ADSL2 has become less important since the
ADSL2+ standard has made higher throughput rates possible.
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 165
ADSL2+
short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 with extended
bandwidth
ADSL2+ (G.992.5) is a further development of the ADSL stan-
dard.
ADSL2+ offers a doubled frequency range used for down-
stream transmission, and thus double the maximum band-
width achievable for downstream to 24 Mbit/s.
ADSL2+ is completely downward compatible, meaning that
terminal devices compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be
operated on ADSL2+ lines, although they cannot exploit the
advantages of ADSL2+.
bandwidth management
Bandwidth management distributes the available bandwidth
of an Internet connection among various Internet applica-
tions.
The bandwidth management of the FRITZ!Box ensures that
the speech quality during telephone calls over the Internet is
not reduced by surfing activity. The FRITZ!Box adjusts all up-
loads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth.
Furthermore, the FRITZ!Box grants Internet telephony connec-
tions a higher priority than Internet data connections. This
largely prevents undesired disruptions during Internet tele-
phone calls.
cable modem
A cable modem is a device that transmits data over cable tele-
vision networks, which is used for connecting broadband In-
ternet connections via cable connections (cable Internet). The
cable modem is located between the cable connection and
the Internet router at the customer’s premises. It is connected
to the computer either over LAN or the USB port. Some cable
modems are combined with a WLAN access point that estab-
lishes a radio connection to the computer.
FRITZ!Box 7330 166
Glossary
Some Internet routers are equipped with an internal cable
modem and can be connected directly with the cable line.
DDNS
short for Dynamic Domain Name System
DDNS is a service which allows a computer always to be
reached under the same domain name despite constantly
changing public IP addresses. This means the home network
can always be reached from the Internet, regardless of the us-
er’s location. Even private users have an economical way of
placing their own Internet offers on their computer at home.
Every time the Internet connection is established, the Internet
service provider assigns a new public IP address.
Each time the IP address changes, the current IP address is
transmitted to a special DDNS server. Except for the few sec-
onds between the cancellation of the old IP address and the
notification of the new IP address, the computer can always
be reached at the selected domain name.
DECT
short 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 sta-
tion, and supports both voice transmission and data trans-
mission with flexible transfer speeds.
default gateway
Gateway (see glossary)
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 167
DHCP
short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is a protocol for dynamically negotiating the operating
parameters of the TCP/IP protocol (see glossary). The com-
puters in 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 parame-
ters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts caused by IP
addresses (see glossary) accidentally assigned more than
once.
DHCP is used in IPv4 networks (see glossary).
DHCP Server
The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that it has
not yet been assigned at the present time. The DHCP server
also informs the client of the IP addresses of the DNS server
to be used and of the default gateway. In assigning the IP ad-
dresses the DHCP server selects from a prescribed range of IP
addresses.
DHCP is used in IPv4 networks (see glossary).
DNS
short for Domain Name System
Domain Name Service takes care of determining the IP ad-
dress 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 an-
swer 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 corre-
sponding 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.
FRITZ!Box 7330 168
Glossary
This hierarchical system of DNS servers is known as the Do-
main Name System. The addresses of the DNS servers at
which the Domain Name Service is to inquire by default gen-
erally are handed over to the computer by the Internet service
provider automatically whenever a connection to the Internet
is established.
download
Download designates the transfer of files from the Internet to
a computer.
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.
DSL router
A DSL router generally combines three different devices: a
DSL modem (see glossary), a router, and a LAN switch.
A DSL router serves, first, to connect multiple computers or
other network devices together to form a local network (LAN)
so that the devices can exchange data with each other.
Second, a DSL router provides a central Internet connection
that can be used by all devices in the home network at the
same time. The DSL router’s job is to control the data traffic
between the local network and the Internet. If the DSL router
is equipped with a firewall (see glossary), it protects the de-
vices in the home network against attacks from the Internet.
DSL splitter
A DSL splitter is a device that separates telephone and DSL
signals.
You need a DSL splitter if you have a fixed line (see glossary)
and a DSL line. The splitter separates the telephone and DSL
signals, which use the same cable to access your house or
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 169
apartment. The splitter conducts telephone signals to your
analog telephones or to the NT (see glossary). DSL signals
are sent on to the DSL modem or DSL router.
dynamic IP address
A dynamic IP address is an IP address valid only for the dura-
tion 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 she
or he connects to the Internet.
By contrast, dynamic addresses are usually used in local IP
networks because they are easy to handle, and because us-
ing them avoids incorrect IP address entries or unintentional
double assignments.
file system
A file system saves and manages files on a data medium (for
instance, a hard drive or flash drive). The way the files are
stored varies from one file system to the next.
The different operating systems offer different file systems. In
Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP the file systems
FAT32 and NTFS are used most frequently. The file system of a
data storage medium can be changed, for instance from
FAT32 to NTFS.
fixed IP address
Fixed IP addresses are IP addresses (see glossary) which are
permanently assigned to a computer or another device like a
network printer.
Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases where a
computer is always supposed to be accessible at a certain ad-
dress (for instance, a web server or an e-mail server).
FRITZ!Box 7330 170
Glossary
fixed line
A fixed line is a telephone line in the classic, landline tele-
phone network. There are two kinds of fixed lines: analog
lines and ISDN lines.
If you have a fixed line and a DSL line, the signals for both
lines use the same cable to access your house or apartment.
For this reason your telephony and Internet service provider
supplies you with a DSL splitter (see glossary) that separates
the telephone signals and DSL signals from each other.
firewall
A firewall protects a computer or local network against at-
tacks from the Internet.
Most firewalls work with packet filters, which merely check
the IP addresses and port numbers of incoming and outgoing
data packets and filter the packets according to prescribed
rules.
Within IPv4 networks, some firewalls also integrate addition-
al concepts like IP masquerading and NAT to decouple data
traffic by distinguishing strictly between the internal and ex-
ternal network.
Especially effective firewalls go even further, analyzing and
evaluating the contents of the packets and filtering them ac-
cording to prescribed rules. Such techniques may also in-
clude a Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall, for instance.
firmware
The firmware is the software of an electronic device, which is
stored in the device and controls its functions.
FTP
short for File Transfer Protocol
The File Transfer Protocol allows files to be exchanged be-
tween two computers in the Internet. A computer on which
the files are made available for downloading is called an “FTP
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 171
server”. A special program is required for downloading files,
known as an “FTP client”. Some web browsers contain FTP cli-
ents, but they are also available as independent software.
gateway
Gateway is a general term designating an interface between
two 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 gate-
way. To do this, the computer must know the address of the
gateway.
If all packets that cannot be delivered in a local network al-
ways 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 auto-
matically by the operating system or the dialing software
whenever an ISDN-Controller or ADSL-Controller establishes a
connection to the Internet.
If a router is used for the shared Internet access in a local net-
work, the IP address of the router must be entered as the de-
fault gateway in the TCP/IP settings of each computer that
wishes to use the Internet connection.
HSPA
short for High Speed Packet Access
HSPA is a third-generation mobile radio standard further de-
veloped from the the UMTS mobile radio standard. HSPA pro-
vides for throughput rates in the mobile radio network that
are comparable with DSL (3.6 to 13.98 Mbit/s).
FRITZ!Box 7330 172
Glossary
hub
A hub is a device that is used to connect network devices to
each other, for instance through an Ethernet. Network devices
are connected to each other in a star network, with each net-
work device connected to the hub. There are no direct con-
nections between the network devices.
A hub can either send or receive data. Received data are sent
to all connected devices. All connected devices share the da-
ta throughput.
Internet telephony
VoIP (see glossary)
IP
short 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.
IPv4
short for Internet Protocol version 4
IPv4 is currently the conventional Internet protocol.
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, such that IPv4 offers an ad-
dress space of 232 IP addresses, or just over four billion. The
latest estimates suggest that the last IPv4 addresses will be
assigned by the beginning of 2012.
The successor protocol to IPv4 is IPv6.
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 173
IPv6
short for Internet Protocol version 6
IPv6 is the successor protocol to IPv4.
IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. This means that IPv6
makes approximately 340 undecillion (~ 3.4 x 1036) IPv6 ad-
dresses available. Each private user can be allotted over
18 quintillion public IPv6 addresses from her or his Internet
service provider.
The dearth of addresses in IPv4 is only one of the reasons for
introducing IPv6. IPv6 also offers additional advantageous
characteristics in the framework of communication within IP
networks.
IP address
In IP-based networks, for instance in the Internet and local
networks, all connected devices are addressed via their IP ad-
dresses. So that data packets are sure to be delivered to the
right address, each IP address may be assigned only once
within the local IP network.
IPv6 addresses are structured differently from IPv4 address-
es. IP addresses can be written in decimal, octal or hexadeci-
mal format.
IP masquerading
IP masquerading is a technique used within IPv4 networks.
With IP masquerading a computer or LAN can be protected
from unauthorized connection requests from the Internet.
Masquerading works by converting the IP addresses used in a
network to one public IP address. From the outside it appears
as if all requests are sent from a single computer.
IP network
A network in which data exchange takes place on the basis of
the Internet Protocol (IP) is called an IP network.
FRITZ!Box 7330 174
Glossary
NAS functionality
NAS is short for Network Attached Storage
NAS designates one or more devices that are integrated into a
network to provide storage space.
In connection with the FRITZ!Box, NAS functionality means
that various services for connected USB storage media are
available in the FRITZ!Box so that it easier for you to use your
data and make them available in the local network. It is easy
to exchange documents in the local network via the storage
medium on the FRITZ!Box. The media server makes music,
images and videos in the network available to compatible
playback devices. Files can also be released for sharing in the
Internet, and local memory expanded by adding online stor-
age.
NAT
short for Network Address Translation
NAT is a technique used within IPv4 networks. NAT is used in
routers to replace the address information in data packets
with new address information. A typical application for NAT is
routers that connect local networks with the Internet. In local
networks, every network device has a private IP address,
while generally there is only one public IP address available
for the Internet. To grant the network devices access to the In-
ternet, the router replaces the private IP address of the send-
er with its own public IP address in all outgoing data packets.
The router saves all necessary information in a table so that
incoming data packets can then be assigned to the correct
network device.
NTBA
short for Network Termination for ISDN Basic Rate Access
The NT is the network termination device on the ISDN basic
rate terminal. The ISDN terminal devices are connected to the
NT, for instance the ISDN telephone system (PBX) or ISDN
telephones.
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 175
public IP address
A public IP address is an IP address (see glossary) valid in the
Internet. Every computer or router participating in the Internet
must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. This ad-
dress is usually negotiated dynamically with the Internet ser-
vice provider when a connection to the Internet is dialed. The
Internet service provider assigns the negotiated IP address to
the computer or router for the duration of an Internet session.
port
So that a single network connection on a computer can be
used by multiple applications to exchange data with remote
sites at the same time, a computer administers what are
known as ports for the IP-based protocols TCP and UDP. Ports
substantiate the point of access for the data packets deliv-
ered via the IP Internet protocol. While the IP address deter-
mines the destination computer quite generally, the port ad-
dresses the communication interface provided by an applica-
tion for a certain communication procedure.
The Internet protocol allots 16 bits for the specification of the
port number. Thus a total of 65,535 different port numbers
can be specified. Ports up to port number 1,024 are reserved
for special system applications and typical Internet applica-
tions. These include, for instance, the port numbers 21 for
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), 25 for SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol), 53 for DNS (Domain Name Service) and 80 for HTTP
(Hypertext Transfer Protocol).
Ports are primarily of interest to users for their role in protect-
ing an Internet connection from external attacks. Most fire-
walls offer the possibility of preventing data traffic on certain
ports. This means that certain port numbers can be blocked
to prevent data from being delivered to system services. This
is also a way of preventing any Trojans (malicious applica-
tions opening backdoors on computers) that may have infect-
ed your computer from receiving data on ports it created as
means of accessing your computer for potentially damaging
activities. A firewall blocks most of the atypical port numbers
not required for normal operation of an application and offers
specialized users the opportunity to forward specified ports.
FRITZ!Box 7330 176
Glossary
port forwarding
With port forwarding it is possible to specify ports that will al-
low all incoming or outgoing data packets to pass through a
router or firewall.
If a computer from the local network offers server services, for
instance, the settings of a router using NAT (see glossary) or
IP masquerading (see glossary) must enable or forward the
port used by the server service for access to incoming data
packets and thus keep it open permanently. The private IP ad-
dress of the given computer must be saved as the destination
address for all of the packets arriving at the port.
Typical server applications that require port forwarding are
FTP and web servers. To allow access to a computer via re-
mote management software like Symantec pcAnywhere or Mi-
crosoft’s Remote Desktop, or even use of a file-sharing pro-
gram like eDonkey, the required ports must be released for
port forwarding. Port forwarding settings for the most impor-
tant application cases are quite simple as long as the set-
tings of the router or the firewall already contain rules with a
corresponding preconfiguration.
private IP address
Private IP addresses are used for computers and other net-
work devices within local IPv4 networks.
Since many local IP networks are not connected to the Inter-
net except via single computers or routers (gateway), certain
address ranges are excluded from the publicly available IP
addresses so that they are available for assignment in local IP
networks. An IP address may be assigned only once within
the local network. A private IP address may exist in any num-
ber of other local networks.

Stick & Surf
Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast,
simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio networks.
This technique allows for the straightforward transmission of
all important parameters of a radio network from the WLAN
base station to any computer that is to be added to the radio
network.
In this process the radio parameters used, including the
WLAN channel, SSID and WLAN standard used, as well as se-
curity parameters like the encryption method and network
key, are transferred almost fully automatically from the WLAN
base station to the computer with the WLAN client that is to
be connected.
subnetwork
A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be divid-
ed 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 (see
glossary).
subnet mask
The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address (see
glossary) is the network address and which the address of
the computer. The network address defines what is called the
subnet.
switch
A switch is a device that connects multiple network devices
with each other, for instance through an Ethernet.
In contrast to a hub, a switch can establish direct connections
between the connected devices. This makes it possible to
send data packets directly to specific recipients.
FRITZ!Box 7330 178
Glossary
The entire data throughput is at the disposal of every con-
nected device.
TCP/IP
short for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
TCP/IP is the “language” of the Internet. TCP/IP is used to re-
fer to a suite of protocols used for data communication over
the Internet. TCP and IP are the network and transport proto-
cols underlying most Internet services, including file transfer
(FTP) and e-mail communication (SMTP). TCP/IP is available
for practically all computer systems. TCP/IP thus offers the
advantage of trouble-free communication between otherwise
incompatible networks and systems.
TR-069
TR-069 is a technical directive that simplifies the automatic
configuration of Internet access devices like the FRITZ!Box.
TR-069 describes the remote configuration of Internet access
devices. In remote configuration the access and account data
are automatically transmitted to the FRITZ!Box by the Internet
service provider. These may include the account data for the
Internet connection, Internet telephone numbers and login
data for Internet telephony, or both.
The Internet service provider saves the data to be transmitted
on what is called an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). When
the FRITZ!Box is connected with the broadband line (for in-
stance, DSL), the data can be transferred automatically from
the ACS to the FRITZ!Box. This relieves the user of the task of
manually setting up the Internet and/or Internet telephone
numbers in the FRITZ!Box.
Encryption and ID verification ensure that the automatic con-
figuration of the FRITZ!Box can not be intercepted or per-
formed by unauthorized parties.
Automatic configuration of the FRITZ!Box is possible only if
the Internet service provider supports remote configuration
with TR-069. Which data are transferred to the FRITZ!Box and
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 179
how remote configuration is started depends on the provider.
For some providers, for instance, the user must enter a start
code in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
UMTS
short for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
UMTS is a third-generation (3G) mobile radio standard with
throughput rates of 384 Kbit/s to 7.2 Mbit/s.
The high throughput rates make it possible to support multi-
media services. With special cards or USB sticks the Internet
connection can also be provided for laptops or computers via
UMTS.
update
A more recent version of software or firmware is called an up-
date. Updates are often free of charge, resolve minor pro-
gramming errors, and sometimes also offer new functions.
uplink port
The uplink port on a hub or switch is designed for connecting
another hub or switch, or a router. In contrast to the uplink
port, there is also a user port for connecting terminal devices.
The send and receive directions are transposed on the uplink
port. On some devices the port can change between normal
and uplink mode by means of a switch.
upload
This term designates the procedure of transmitting files from
one’s own computer to another computer in the Internet.
UPnP
short for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP is an extension of the Microsoft Plug & Play standard
that allows devices to network globally and to exchange ser-
vices—without a central server or computer.
FRITZ!Box 7330 180
Glossary
UPnP allows devices from all kinds of manufacturers (stereo
systems, routers, printers, house controls) to be controlled
via an IP-based network (see glossary), with or without cen-
tral control through a gateway. It is based on a number of
standardized network protocols and data formats. Expressed
simplistically, devices can communicate with each other au-
tomatically using UPnP to exchange information.
Today the UPnP forum specifies the UPnP standard and certi-
fies devices that are compliant with this standard.
UPnP AV
short for Universal Plug and Play Audio/Video
UPnP AV is a UPnP specification for the interaction between
the media server, playback devices and devices controlling
the streaming (transmitting a data stream) of audio, image
and video data within networks. Media servers are devices
that make audio, image and video data available upon re-
quest. Playback devices render the audio, image and video
data (television, stereo system, streaming clients). Control
devices are remote controls (smartphone, remote control).
USB
short for Universal Serial Bus
The Universal Serial Bus is an interface for transferring data
between a computer and connected devices. It was intro-
duced in 1996. Today nearly all computers have multiple USB
ports. USB is used, for instance, to connect many keyboards,
mice, printers and external hard drives to the computer.
By now many other devices also have a USB port. For in-
stance, many DVD and Blue-ray players can play back images,
videos and music directly from a USB storage medium (hard
drive, flash drive).
The Universal Serial Bus supports hot plugging. This means
that USB devices can be connected without turning the com-
puter off. The Universal Serial Bus also offers a 5-Volt power
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 181
supply. This makes it possible to load devices at the USB port
and operate USB devices that do not have a power supply of
their own.
The Universal Serial Bus was introduced with the USB 1.0
specification in 1996. In 1998 came the reworked USB 1.1
specification, followed in 2000 by USB 2.0. With 480 Mbit/s,
USB 2.0 provides for considerably higher throughput rates
than USB 1.0/1.1 (12 Mbit/s).
VPN
short for Virtual Private Network
VPN serves to integrate devices from a neighboring network
into your own network, without the networks having to be
compatible with each other.
A VPN is generally an independent company network distrib-
uted over several locations, which uses the infrastructure of a
public communications network to link its partial networks or
to link individual computers to the rest of the network. A VPN
uses tunneling technologies and typically builds on the infra-
structure of the Internet.
Using a Virtual Private Network it is possible to use all net-
work applications of the company network even from distant
locations. This means it is possible to use the advantages of
the network even over large geographical distances.
VPN facilitates optimum information flow without delay
throughout the entire company, even to offices in other loca-
tions. E-mail servers, file sharing and other central applica-
tions of the company network can thus be made available via
VPN even to distant branch offices, subsidiaries and home of-
fices. With VPN, field representatives of a company can also
be granted secure access to the company network.

VoIP
short for for Voice over IP, also known as Internet telephony
Calls from the Internet are possible to and from the fixed-line
network and mobile communications networks. Various Inter-
net service providers and telephony carriers provide SIP-
fixed-line gateways for this purpose. The gateways are used
to produce voice connections between the Internet and con-
ventional telephone networks.
In principle, VoIP calls can be made over any Internet connec-
tion. However, for convenient use with existing terminal de-
vices, and for conversations with the fixed-line and mobile
communications networks, it is important that the Internet
service provider support what is known as the SIP standard.
SIP is the current standard defined for VoIP by the IETF (Inter-
net Engineering Task Force).
WLAN
short for Wireless Local Area Network
The term WLAN designates the industry standard for wireless
local networks passed by the Institute of Electrical and Elec-
tronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997 under the title IEEE 802.11.
By means of WLAN technology, individual computers or net-
work devices like printers or DSL access points can be linked
wirelessly to an existing cable-connected local network (LAN),
or LANs can be converted completely to a wireless structure.
A further useful purpose for WLAN technology is to link seg-
ments of existing cable-connected networks.
Although WLAN was actually developed only for short-range
connections, by cascading WLAN base stations or implement-
ing transmission networks with high-power point-to-point ra-
dio transmission, even network segments located further
away from each other can be linked or network participants in
relatively remote locations can be economically and easily in-
tegrated into an existing network.
WLAN base stations often also serve as access points to the
Internet in private or public institutions. Many airports, hotels
and cafes, for instance, make WLAN hotspots available to
Glossary
FRITZ!Box 7330 183
their customers, either free or subject to a charge. Ultimately
this has maneuvered WLAN into serious competition with mo-
bile UMTS technology.
The application possibilities for wireless network communi-
cation also overlap with Bluetooth technology. For mobile de-
vices with limited energy capacity Bluetooth is the more use-
ful solution, however, as Bluetooth uses considerably less
power than wireless LAN. What is more, Bluetooth technology
is more flexible and thus can offer a greater bandwidth of po-
tential applications.
