7.4 Configuring the 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 / network with a cable
as described in section Connecting with a Router/Net-
work on page 16.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
The “Mobile Communications” menu is not available
until the UMTS/HSPA modem has been connected to the
USB port of the FRITZ!Box.
Due to technical limitations on the part of the mobile com-
munications network providers, some restrictions may arise
for Internet telephone calls and for applications requiring an
incoming connection. The same is true for using port for-
warding, sharing USB storage memory, remote access via
HTTPS, dynamic DNS and VPN. Contact your network provider
for details on any restrictions that may apply.
