Setting Up the Internet Connection
In order to allow Internet access with the FRITZ!Box, you must first con-
figure the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
The FRITZ!Box can be operated directly at the DSL line. Alternatively, it
can be connected to a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a DSL router, or
integrated into an existing network.
If no DSL line is available, Internet connections can also be established
over the mobile telephone network using a USB modem.
There are various ways to set up the Internet connection of
your FRITZ!Box. In addition to the manual configuration
variations, your Internet Service Provider may also offer
automatic configuration of the Internet connection.
This chapter describes the various ways you can use the
FRITZ!Box technology to set up an Internet connection.
Nevertheless it is always advisable to follow the configura-
tion instructions you received from your Internet Service
Provider.
Also note the following for the setup of your FRITZ!Box’s
Internet connection:
•
The Internet connection of the FRITZ!Box can be es-
tablished using only
one
of the methods described
below.
•
Your Internet Service Provider transmitted you infor-
mation about the configuration of your Internet con-
nection.
Always perform the Internet connection set-
up as described by your provider!
•
If your Internet Service Provider supports an automat-
ic setup routine (also known as “automatic configu-
ration”, “autoconfiguration”, “remote configuration”
Page 42 / 197

Configuring an Internet Connection Automatically over DSL
or “autoprovisioning”), we recommend always set-
ting up the Internet connection of your FRITZ!Box in
this way.
The FRITZ!Box then is set up automatically and se-
curely, with the data necessary for Internet use and
any other services ordered from your provider, like In-
ternet telephony.
•
If you would like to use not only DSL, but also
UMTS/HSPA for Internet connections, note that the
Internet connection can be used by only
one
of these
access technologies. You will have to change the type
of access in the FRITZ!Box as needed.
Remember that you can configure in the FRITZ!Box
only those types of Internet access you have contract-
ed with the appropriate providers.
6.1
Configuring an Internet Connection Automatically over DSL
Automatic configuration is a procedure in which the Inter-
net Service Provider sets up the Internet connection of
your FRITZ!Box completely automatically by “Plug & Play”.
Prerequisites
In order for you to be able to perform automatic configura-
tion, the following requirements must be met:
•
Your FRITZ!Box is brand new and starting operation
for the first time
or
The factory settings were restored to your existing
FRITZ!Box (see page 71) and the Internet connection
has to be set up again.
•
The provider you contracted your Internet connection
from supports automatic configuration.
If these prerequisites are not fulfilled, you can set up your
FRITZ!Box using the Configuration Wizard (see page 44).
Follow all of the information you received from your pro-
vider on configuring your Internet connection!

The 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
and use any other contracted services (like Internet
telephony) right away.
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 Cable Modem
With an additional cable modem you can also use your
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390 on a cable connection. Then the
Internet connection is established and controlled by the
FRITZ!Box itself, so that in this operating mode, too, all
FRITZ!Box functions (like Internet telephony, firewall) are
available without restriction.
1.
Use a network cable to connect the cable modem
with the “LAN 1” port on the FRITZ!Box.
2.
Connect a computer with the FRITZ!Box either wire-
lessly via WLAN or using a network cable.

In the “Operating Mode” section, enable the option
“Establish own Internet connection (NAT router with
PPPoE or IP)”.
8.
In the “Account Information” section, select the op-
tion “No account information required (IP)”.
9.
In the “Connection Settings” section, enable the op-
tion “Obtain the IP address automatically (DHCP)”.
10.
In the input fields “Upstream” and “Downstream”,
enter the relevant speeds of your Internet connec-
tion.
