Configuring an Internet Connection Automatically over DSL
Automatic
Configuration
Procedure
Proceed as follows to perform automatic configuration:
1.
Connect the FRITZ!Box to the DSL line.
The automatic configuration starts automatically.
2.
Wait until the automatic configuration has conclud-
ed. This process can take around five to ten minutes.
During this time the FRITZ!Box receives all necessary
settings directly from the autoconfiguration server of
your Internet Service Provider.
After automatic configuration you can surf the web
right away and use any other contracted services
(like Internet telephony).
3.
To check that the automatic configuration was com-
pleted successfully, open a web browser and enter
any Internet address.
Then you may want to try out the other services or-
dered from your Internet Service Provider, such as In-
ternet telephony.
Your Internet Service Provider transmitted you informa-
tion about the configuration of your Internet connection.
Always perform the Internet connection setup as de-
scribed by your provider!
Further settings can be configured in the user interface of
your FRITZ!Box. The “Wizards” area offers easy-to-use,
step-by-step instructions on all important functions. Use
these to set up the FRITZ!Box in accordance with your own
needs.

Internet Connection via the Mobile Telephone Network
In situations where DSL is not available, you can use your
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340 to connect to the Internet via
the mobile telephone network. A USB modem for mobile
Internet access (UMTS/HSPA) is required for this.
The USB modem is simply inserted into the USB port of
the FRITZ!Box.
The FRITZ!Box supports UMTS/HSPA modems from various
manufacturers.
When the mobile telephone network function is used, the
FRITZ!Box user interface presents information about net-
work availability, connection status and transmission rate.
1.
Insert the USB modem into the USB port on the
FRITZ!Box.
2.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
The “Overview” page is displayed.
3.
Click the “Home Network / USB Devices” menu. On
the “Overview of Devices” tab, the USB modem is
displayed as a “Mobile telephone network modem”.
4.
Click “Enable mobile telephone network modem
now”.
The “Mobile Telephone Network” menu opens to let
you set up the USB modem.
5.
Configure the settings for your Internet connection
over the mobile telephone network. For more infor-
mation, see the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box.
The “Mobile Telephone Network” menu is not avail-
able until the USB modem has been connected to
the FRITZ!Box. From this point on the menu is always
available, even when the USB modem has been dis-
connected.

connected to the FRITZ!Box.
1.
Start a web browser on your computer.
2.
Enter in the address field the URL of the web page
you would like to visit, for instance
Due to technical limitations on the part of the mobile tele-
phone network carriers, some limitations may arise for In-
ternet telephone calls and for applications requiring an
incoming connection. The same is true for using port for-
warding, sharing USB storage memory, remote mainte-
nance via HTTPS, dynamic DNS and VPN. Contact your
network provider for details on any restrictions that may
apply.
