FRITZ!Box

This Is FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170

You can also connect a network hub or switch to the LAN

ports so that even more computers can be connected to

FRITZ!Box.

All computers connected to FRITZ!Box are networked to-

gether and can access shared files and printers.

Internet

Connection

All of the computers connected to FRITZ!Box can access the

Internet. There are two different ways of establishing an In-

ternet connection. Both cases require Internet account in-

formation from an Internet Service Provider:

The Internet connection is established by FRITZ!Box.

For this the Internet account information must be reg-

istered in FRITZ!Box. In this case FRITZ!Box works as a

DSL router and all computers can use the Internet con-

nection at the same time.

The computers connected establish the Internet con-

nections themselves. For this, Internet access soft-

ware must be installed and the Internet account infor-

mation entered on the given computer. In this case

FRITZ!Box works as a DSL modem.

Integrated Firewall

When FRITZ!Box is operated as a DSL router, the integrated

firewall protects your network from attacks from the Internet.

USB Port

The FRITZ!Box is equipped with a USB host controller to

which you can connect a USB storage device (hard drive,

stick), a printer, a AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick or a USB hub.

AVM Stick & Surf technology is provided by the AVM

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. This technology allows security set-

tings to be read from the FRITZ!Box automatically. For con-

necting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server.

Port for Network

Devices

Network devices can be connected to the FRITZ!Box LAN

port along with network hubs or switches, including game

consoles.

WLAN Access

The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN access point. Computers equipped

with a WLAN adapter can be wirelessly connected to

FRITZ!Box.
