Configuring an Internet Connection in the FRITZ!Box
Once you have connected the FRITZ!Box to your Internet connection,
you must configure the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box user in-
terface so that the FRITZ!Box can establish the connection to your
Internet service provider and connect to the Internet.
The sequence and number of steps required to configure your Internet
connection depend on the kind of connection, the desired operating
mode, and the Internet service provider.
9.1
Internet Connection for DSL
Enter the Internet account information you received from your
DSL/Internet service provider. These data are required to con-
figure the Internet connection.
Your Internet service provider also supplied information
about the configuration of your Internet connection. Always
perform the Internet connection setup as described by your
provider.
Configuring Your Internet Connection Automatically
If your Internet service provider arranges for the service of au-
tomatically configuring your Internet connection, the auto-
matic configuration will be performed right after the
FRITZ!Box is connected. No additional settings for the Inter-
net connection have to be configured in the FRITZ!Box. To
start automatic configuration, some providers require that
you enter a start code.

Open the FRITZ!Box, user interface, see
page 32
.
2.
Select the “Wizards” entry in the menu.

nection with your FRITZ!Box 7490 via the mobile communica-
tions network. 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.

USB modem has been disconnected.
9.4
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. To do this the FRITZ!Box is connect-
ed 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
range.
1.
Connect the FRITZ!Box to the router or network with a
network cable; see
Connecting to a Router or a Network
on
page 23
.
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. This is also true for using port forward-
ing, releasing USB storage media for sharing, remote mainte-
nance over HTTPS, Dynamic DNS and VPN. Contact your net-
work provider for details on any restrictions that may apply.

Configuring FRITZ!Box as an IP Client
You can configure the FRITZ!Box such that it is integrated into
the existing network as an IP client and shares the existing
Internet connection in the network.

network cable; see
Connecting to a Router or a Network
on
page 23

existing Internet connection in the network (IP client
mode)”.
The FRITZ!Box is integrated into the existing network as an IP
client. The FRITZ!Box and the connected network devices re-
ceive an IP address from the IP address range of the existing
network. The FRITZ!Box and the connected network devices
are thus part of this network.

range.
The radio network of the router or network must fulfill the fol-
lowing requirements:
