WLAN—Getting Technical The wireless LAN connection between your FRITZ!Box and a FRITZ!Box in WDS operation can be encrypted by WPA2. The wireless LAN connection between your FRITZ!Box and another wireless LAN router is only possible with less secure WEP encryption. 11.5 WLAN—Getting Technical A wireless LAN radio network is based on standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
WLAN—Getting Technical IEEE 802.11a Because this standard works exclusively in the seldom used 5-GHz range, it offers the opportunity to transmit data relatively free of interference from external influences. WLAN devices that support 802.11a are much less common than devices that work in accordance with the 802.11b/g standard. IEEE 802.11b With a maximum throughput rate of 11 Mbit/s, this is the oldest WLAN standard. Older WLAN devices of the first generation can communicate with the FRITZ!Box using 802.
WLAN—Getting Technical Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box The throughput rate that can be achieved in your WLAN radio network depends on the WLAN standards used by the integrated WLAN devices. These WLAN standards must also be set in the FRITZ!Box. Proceed as follows to check which WLAN standards are set and change them if needed: 1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface. 2. Enable the advanced view. 3.
WLAN—Getting Technical • Your radio network integrates only WLAN devices that are compatible with one or both of the following standards: 802.11b 802.11g Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box: Mode: 802.11b+g The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used. • Your radio network integrates only WLAN devices that are compatible with one or several of the following standards: 802.11n 802.11g 802.11b Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box: Mode: 802.11n+g+b The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used.
WLAN—Getting Technical The Standard for Security IEEE 802.11i The WPA2 security mechanism is defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 is an extension of the familiar security mechanism WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AESCCMP encryption process. Mechanism Encryption WPA TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol) WPA2 TKIP AES-CCMP based on the extremely secure AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) procedure.
WLAN—Getting Technical In the 2.4-GHz frequency range the European regulation authorities have designated 13 channels for WLAN. A channel can have a bandwidth of 20 MHz (throughput of up to 216 Mbit/s) or 40 MHz (throughput of up to 450 Mbit/s). Channels located directly next to each other in the 2.4-GHz band may overlap and result in mutual interference. For instance, if several WLANs are operated close to each other in the 2.
WLAN—Getting Technical monitors the selected channel periodically for higher-priority users, and, if necessary, switches to a different channel. Note that the FRITZ!Box waits up to ten minutes, as legally required, before occupying a free channel. During this period you cannot register any WLAN devices. The WLAN connection is then established automatically. For more information, see the section Avoiding WLAN Channels with DFS on page 101.

USB Devices in the FRITZ!Box Home Network 14 USB Devices in the FRITZ!Box Home Network The FRITZ!Box has two USB ports to which you can connect various USB devices. All network devices in the FRITZ!Box home network can use these USB devices jointly and simultaneously. This chapter describes how to share a printer in the network, which USB devices can be used in your FRITZ!Box home network, and how to use these devices safely. 14.
Using USB Devices Safely device is guaranteed only with the USB remote connection of the FRITZ!Box (see also: Sharing a USB Printer on page 84). • You can connect a USB hub to the FRITZ!Box and use up to four USB devices at this hub. You can use USB hubs with or without a separate power supply. We recommend deploying a USB hub with its own power supply if the USB devices to be connected exceed a total current consumption of 500 mA (see also: Power Supply for USB Devices on page 81).
Accessing USB Memory 1. Start a web browser. 2. Enter “fritz.box” in the address line. 3. Go to the “Home Network / Storage (NAS)” and select the “Security” tab. 4. Configure the access rights and password protection. Note that you cannot set up password protection and access rights if the USB remote connection is active. 14.5 Accessing USB Memory The participants in the home network have various possibilities for accessing the various storage media of the FRITZ!Box.
Sharing a USB Printer Suitable playback devices like TV sets, web radios, smartphones and the Windows Media Player can then call up the data for streaming from the media server. Playback devices to be used in connection with the media server must support the UPnP AV standard. The term “DLNA” is often used to designate this support. Enable the “media server” function in the FRITZ!Box user interface under “Home Network / Storage (NAS) / Options Enabled”. 14.
Sharing a USB Printer • the USB printer uses bidirectional data exchange. In other words: Not only does the computer send data to the printer, the printer also sends status messages to the computer. This communication in both directions is typical of the “Windows printers” or “GDI printers” that work only with special Windows device drivers.
Sharing a USB Printer If the printer is not displayed, you must first install the printer drivers for this device. Consult the documentation of your printer for instructions. 3. Switch to the “Ports” tab. 4. Click “Add”. 5. Double-click the “Standard TCP/IP Port” entry and click “New Port”, then “Next”. 6. Enter “fritz.box” in the “Printer Name or IP Address” field.
Sharing a USB Printer 5. In the “Protocol:” drop-down list, select the entry “HP Jetdirect – Socket”. 6. Enter “fritz.box” in the “Address:” input field. If the FRITZ!Box is configured as a WDS repeater or as an IP client, enter here the IP address at which the FRITZ!Box can be reached within the network. 1. In the “Print Using:” drop-down list, select the printer that is connected to the USB port of your FRITZ!Box.
Sharing a USB Printer Configuring a USB Printer with FRITZ!Box USB Remote Connection If you are using an all-in-one device or would like to use the convenience features of a USB printer connected to the FRITZ!Box, we recommend installing the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection software.

Glossary Glossary ADSL short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL (G.992.1/G.992.2) was developed on the basis of DSL technology in order to satisfy the increasing demand for higher throughput rates during uploading and downloading. Designates a fast kind of data transmission that works with standard copper cables and transports signals in both directions at different speeds (upstream at 640 Kbit/s and downstream at up to 9 Mbit/s). ADSL2 short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 ADSL2 (G.992.
Glossary ADSL2+ (G.992.5) is a further development of the ADSL standard. ADSL2+ offers a doubled frequency range used for downstream transmission, and thus double the maximum bandwidth achievable for downstream to 24 Mbit/s. ADSL2+ is completely downward compatible, meaning that terminal devices compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be operated on ADSL2+ lines, although they cannot exploit the advantages of ADSL2+.
Glossary The central administration of the TCP/IP operation parameters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts caused by IP addresses (see glossary) accidentally assigned more than once. DHCP is used in IPv4 networks (see glossary). DHCP server The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that it has not yet been assigned at the present time. The DHCP server also informs the client of the IP addresses of the DNS server to be used and of the default gateway.
Glossary download Download designates the transfer of files from the Internet to a computer. DSL modem A DSL modem connects a computer to the Internet via the DSL line. In contrast to the analog modem, a connection via the DSL modem does not mean that the telephone line is busy. DSL router A DSL router generally combines three different devices: a DSL modem (see glossary), a router, and a LAN switch.
Glossary Every computer participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. Since only a limited number of such IP addresses is available, they must be used sparingly. That is why most of the Internet participants who dial in to the Internet receive a dynamic IP address. They are called dynamic because every participant receives a new public address that has not been assigned yet each time she or he connects to the Internet.
Glossary If you have a fixed line and a DSL line, the signals for both lines use the same cable to access your house or apartment. For this reason your telephony and Internet service provider supplies you with a DSL splitter (see glossary) that separates the telephone signals and DSL signals from each other. firewall A firewall protects a computer or local network against attacks from the Internet.
Glossary gateway Gateway is a general term designating an interface between two networks. Such a network interface can be realized using a router or a bridge, for instance. If a computer wants to transfer data packets to a computer in another network, it must first transmit the packet to the gateway. To do this, the computer must know the address of the gateway.
Glossary Internet telephony VoIP (see glossary) IP short for Internet Protocol The IP Internet Protocol is the most important basic protocol for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection; in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender to the recipient without previous consultation. The addresses of the recipient and the sender in the data packets are given as IP addresses.
Glossary IP address In IP-based networks, for instance in the Internet and local networks, all connected devices are addressed via their IP addresses. So that data packets are sure to be delivered to the right address, each IP address may be assigned only once within the local IP network. IPv6 addresses are structured differently from IPv4 addresses. IP addresses can be written in decimal, octal or hexadecimal format. IP masquerading IP masquerading is a technique used within IPv4 networks.
Glossary NAT short for Network Address Translation NAT is a technique used within IPv4 networks. NAT is used in routers to replace the address information in data packets with new address information. A typical application for NAT is routers that connect local networks with the Internet. In local networks, every network device has a private IP address, while generally there is only one public IP address available for the Internet.
Glossary delivered via the IP Internet protocol. While the IP address determines the destination computer quite generally, the port addresses the communication interface provided by an application for a certain communication procedure. The Internet protocol allots 16 bits for the specification of the port number. Thus a total of 65,535 different port numbers can be specified. Ports up to port number 1,024 are reserved for special system applications and typical Internet applications.
Glossary Typical server applications that require port forwarding are FTP and web servers. To allow access to a computer via remote management software like Symantec pcAnywhere or Microsoft’s Remote Desktop, or even use of a file-sharing program like eDonkey, the required ports must be released for port forwarding.
Glossary key, are transferred almost fully automatically from the WLAN base station to the computer with the WLAN client that is to be connected. subnetwork A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be divided into multiple subnetworks. The division into subnetworks is performed when the local IP network is configured. The subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP networks (see glossary).
Glossary TR-069 TR-069 is a technical directive that simplifies the automatic configuration of Internet access devices like the FRITZ!Box. TR-069 describes the remote configuration of Internet access devices. In remote configuration the access and account data are automatically transmitted to the FRITZ!Box by the Internet service provider. These may include the account data for the Internet connection, Internet telephone numbers and login data for Internet telephony, or both.
Glossary update A more recent version of software or firmware is called an update. Updates are often free of charge, resolve minor programming errors, and sometimes also offer new functions. uplink port The uplink port on a hub or switch is designed for connecting another hub or switch, or a router. In contrast to the uplink port, there is also a user port for connecting terminal devices. The send and receive directions are transposed on the uplink port.
Glossary UPnP AV is a UPnP specification for the interaction between the media server, playback devices and devices controlling the streaming (transmitting a data stream) of audio, image and video data within networks. Media servers are devices that make audio, image and video data available upon request. Playback devices render the audio, image and video data (television, stereo system, streaming clients). Control devices are remote controls (smartphone, remote control).
Glossary downward compatible. The standard provides for throughput rates of up to 100 Mbit/s for uploading and downloading, but requires a distribution network with a more closely meshed infrastructure—a demand that is hardly economical outside of major urban areas. VPN short for Virtual Private Network VPN serves to integrate devices from a neighboring network into your own network, without the networks having to be compatible with each other.
Glossary In principle, VoIP calls can be made over any Internet connection. However, for convenient use with existing terminal devices, and for conversations with the fixed-line and mobile communications networks, it is important that the Internet service provider support what is known as the SIP standard. SIP is the current standard defined for VoIP by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
Glossary power than wireless LAN. What is more, Bluetooth technology is more flexible and thus can offer a greater bandwidth of potential applications.
