November 2007 3:41 15 More about WLAN 8 More about WLAN WLAN is a radio technology that allows Ethernet networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable connections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Internet connection. 8.1 Standards The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
PAGE 58
F!BoxFonWLAN-7170v2-e.book Seite 58 Freitag, 23. November 2007 3:41 15 Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box IEEE 802.11b With a maximum throughput rate of 11 Mbit/s, this is the oldest standard for radio networks. Older WLAN adapters of the first generation can communicate with the FRITZ!Box using 802.11b. However, if the WLAN adapter supports newer standards such as 802.11g, the latest standard should be used. IEEE 802.11g This is currently the most common WLAN standard.

The IP address corresponds to the “postal” address of a device located in the Internet or in a local IP network. So that data packets are sure to be delivered to the right address, each IP address may be assigned only once within the Internet or a local IP network.

F!BoxFonWLAN-7170v2-e.book Seite 71 Freitag, 23. November 2007 3:41 15 Subnetwork Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases where a local network has a sufficiently large pool of IP addresses available, or when a computer is always supposed to be accessible at a certain address (such as a web server or email server). Dynamic IP Address A dynamic IP address is an IP address valid only for the duration of one Internet or network session.

DHCP is a protocol for the dynamic negotiation of the operating parameters for the TCP/IP protocol (TCP is a transport protocol based on the Internet protocol). The computers of a local IP network (DHCP clients) access the DHCP server as part of their operating systems’ start procedure.

You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box if the following apply to your network: You have an existing local IP network, one subnet with several computers. Fixed IP addresses are registered in the network settings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not permitted to change these addresses.
