for Internet Connections

Configuring FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 for Internet Connections
There are two different ways for FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN to con-
nect to the Internet. In both cases you need account informa-
tion from an Internet Service Provider:
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN establishes the connection with
the Internet.
For this an Internet connection with the account infor-
mation from the Internet Service Provider must be set
up in the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN user interface. All con-
nected computers can then use this Internet connection
at the same time. It is not necessary to install any addi-
tional Internet access software on the other connected
computers.
In this mode FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 works like a DSL
router and uses the Internet Service Provider's account
information. For information about how to configure
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 for this operating mode, see
the section "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN Uses the Internet Ser-
vice Provider's Account Information" from page 40.
Internet telephony can only be used when FRITZ!Box
Fon WLAN 7050 establishes the Internet connection it-
self.
The computers connected to FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN es-
tablish the Internet connections themselves.
In this case FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN works like a DSL mo-
dem and is responsible only for forwarding data. An In-
ternet connection must be configured on the connected
computers, using the Internet access software and the
account information from an Internet Service Provider.
The Internet access software is also required to estab-
lish Internet connections.
If your Internet Service Provider supplies its own access
software, you can use this software for your computers.
