If you need a replacement cable, a longer cable or an extension, use a standard STP-type (Shielded Twisted Pair, 1:1) CAT5 Ethernet cable.

Data Throughput IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. WLAN adapters based on one or more of the standards list- ed can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box. The standards are intended for different frequency bands. Standard...
Page 123 With a maximum throughput rate of 11 Mbit/s, this is the IEEE 802.11b 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.
Page 124 CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC Protocol) de- fines 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.
Page 125: Security
Therefore it is important that no unauthorized users can register in a WLAN to use its Internet access or shared net- work resources. FRITZ!Box includes settings on various levels that contrib- ute to the security of your WLAN and thus to the security of your computers.

In the FRITZ!Box a method combining WPA + WPA2 encryp- Default Setting tion with the TKIP/AES-CCMP encryption method is precon- figured. This setting allows you to use WLAN adapters that support WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES-CCMP) or both methods.

Additional tips on interference in the WLAN radio network are presented in the section “Ruling Out Interference Caused by Other Wireless Networks” from page 102. The FRITZ!Box can operate in the 5-GHz frequency band as 5-GHz Frequency Band an alternative. This frequency range is used much less of- ten than the most common 2.4-GHz frequency range.
Page 129 IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 8002.11n standard. The FRITZ!Box works in the WLAN network either in the 2.4- 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz GHz range or in the 5-GHz range, but not parallel in both fre- quency ranges at the same time.

Page 131: More About Network Settings
More about Network Settings FRITZ!Box and Networks The FRITZ!Box is delivered with preconfigured network settings. Accord- ing to these settings, all computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are lo- cated in the same subnetwork. You can change any of these preconfigured settings, but should only do so if you are well versed in networking tech- nology.
Page 132: Ip Address
192.168.178.253 You can change the preset IP address. When Does It Make Sense to Change the IP Address? You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box if the fol- Circumstances lowing apply to your network: You have an existing local IP network, one subnet with several computers.
Page 133 The subnet mask must correspond with that of the connected subnet. When the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box is enabled, the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of nu- merals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server.
Page 134: Dhcp Server
DHCP server is enabled by default in the factory settings. Every time the operating system on a computer connected with FRITZ!Box is started, it is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server. Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
Page 135 You can switch off the DHCP server. To make sure that all computers remain in the same subnet as the FRITZ!Box even when the DHCP server is disabled, you must enter the IP addresses manually in the comput- er’s network settings. First disable the option “Obtain an IP address automatically”...

Changing the DHCP Server Settings In the case of the preset IP address of the FRITZ!Box, the fol- lowing IP addresses are available for assignment to the computers: 192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253 Each IP address can be assigned only once. Changing the DHCP Server Settings Proceed as follows to open the DHCP server settings: Start a web browser on your computer.

Page 139: More About Internet Telephony
Telephony Scenarios If you have configured both a fixed-line number and an In- ternet number in FRITZ!Box, you can make calls in all direc- tions: from the fixed-line network into the fixed-line network from the Internet into the fixed-line network from the Internet into the Internet and receive calls from all directions as well.
Page 140: Bandwidth Management
This function ensures that the speech quality dur- ing telephone calls over the Internet is not reduced by surf- ing activity. To do this, the FRITZ!Box adjusts all uploads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth. Be- cause the FRITZ!Box also places a higher priority on Internet telephony connections over Internet data connections, un- welcome interference is largely avoided.

Page 151 Addressing is one of the main functions of the Internet Pro- tocol (IP). Internet addresses can be written in decimal, oc- tal or hexadecimal notation. The FRITZ!Box uses “dotted- decimal” notation: The four bytes of an address are repre- sented by decimal numbers separated by dots. The total volume of Internet addresses, the address space, is sepa- rated into classes (A, B, C, D, and E).
