Enabling DECT Eco
DECT Eco allows DECT radio transmission to be switched off
during standby operation.
How Does DECT Eco Work?
When all registered cordless telephones are in standby oper-
ation, the DECT radio transmission of the FRITZ!Box and the
telephones is switched off.
When a call arrives or you press a key on a cordless telephone,
the FRITZ!Box switches DECT radio transmission back on.

tion: The setting “DECT enabled” must be enabled under

FRITZ!Box Connects Network Devices
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.
•
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”.

When this setting is enabled for a network device, the DHCP
server of the FRITZ!Box will assign the same IP address to this
device each time the connection is established.
Starting the Computer—Wake on LAN
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 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.
The FRITZ!Box supports Wake on LAN both for IPv4 and for
IPv6 connections.

You can start the computer each time it is accessed over
the Internet by clicking the “Start Computer” button.
