More about WLAN 2 More about WLAN WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology that allows networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable connections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Internet connection. 2.1 Standards The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.
Standards for the Throughput Rate Range The range within a WLAN is highly dependent on the following factors: • • • the WLAN adapter used the structural conditions the amount of radio traffic on the same frequency band. Other wireless networks may be active, but also microwave ovens, baby monitors, game consoles, garage door openers, audio-video bridges, or Bluetooth transmitters (for instance, in mobile telephones).
Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box band. Modulation processes and antenna techniques like MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) use the entire frequency band available more effectively than the older standards. The use of the 802.11n standard—and thus the availability of higher throughput rates—is possible only if the WLAN connection is secured using the WPA2 security mechanism (AES-CCMP). Thanks to compatibility with the 802.11g standard, you can also continue to use older WLAN adapters.
Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box • The standard you configure in the FRITZ!Box must be compatible with the standards of all WLAN adapters used in the WLAN. Make a note of which standards the WLAN adapters in your network are compatible with and then adjust the FRITZ!Box settings according to the following information: • Your radio network integrates only WLAN adapters that are compatible with one or both of the following standards: – 802.11n – 802.
The Standard for Security • Your radio network integrates only WLAN adapters that are compatible with one or both of the following standards: – 802.11n – 802.11a Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box: Mode: 802.11n+a The 5-GHz frequency band will be used. 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).
Security 2.2 Security Security is of utmost importance within radio networks. Radio signals can also be received outside of office or residential spaces and abused for criminal purposes. Therefore it is important that no unauthorized users can register in a WLAN to use its Internet access or shared network resources. FRITZ!Box includes settings on various levels that contribute to the security of your WLAN and thus to the security of your computers.
Encryption The WPA password used may be 8 to 63 characters in length. For increased security, however, the password should be at least 20 characters long. Use numerals, letters and special characters and combine capitals and lower-case letters. Default Setting In the FRITZ!Box a method combining WPA + WPA2 encryption with the TKIP/AES-CCMP encryption method is preconfigured. This setting allows you to use WLAN adapters that support WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES-CCMP) or both methods.
Wireless Network Name (SSID) • If your WLAN adapter supports neither the WPA nor the WPA2 mechanism: – Enable WEP encryption. – Replace the WLAN key with a new, unique value. We strongly recommend the use of a WLAN adapter that supports WPA or WPA2 (for instance, the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can be deciphered within minutes.
Frequency Ranges Channels located directly next to each other in the 2.4GHz band may overlap and result in mutual interference. For instance, if several WLANs are operated close to each other in the 2.4-GHz frequency range with a bandwidth of 20 MHz, a distance of at least five channels should be left empty between each two channels used. This means that if channel 1 is selected for one WLAN, the channels 6 through 13 can be selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum distance between channels.
Frequency Ranges 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Bandwidth The FRITZ!Box works in the WLAN network either in the 2.4-GHz range or in the 5-GHz range, but not parallel in both frequency ranges at the same time. In both frequency ranges you can select between channel bandwidths of 20 MHz or 40 MHz (exception: channel 140 in the 5-GHz frequency band). The FRITZ!Box initially attempts to select a channel with 40 MHz bandwidth (throughput up to 300 Mbit/s).
Increasing the WLAN Range Allocation of the WLAN channels in the 5-GHz range: 2.4 Channel Frequency (GHz) Channel Frequency (GHz) 36 5.18 108 5.54 40 5.20 112 5.56 44 5.22 116 5.58 48 5.24 120 5.60 52 5.26 124 5.62 56 5.28 128 5.64 60 5.30 132 5.66 64 5.32 136 5.68 100 5.50 140 5.70 (20 MHz bandwidth only) 104 5.52 Increasing the WLAN Range The range of a WLAN radio network also always depends on external influences.
Using the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater N/G Using the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater N/G To increase the WLAN range, especially under difficult or strongly-shielding structural conditions, the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater N/G, available as an accessory from AVM, can be used in combination with the FRITZ!Box. It supports all common WLAN standards, is especially easy to install and can be operated at any 230-V power outlet.
Setting up a WDS • The FRITZ!Box can function as a WDS base station to establish the Internet connection for other WDS repeaters, or as a WDS repeater to expand the range of a WDS base station. • Make sure that the WDS connections between the WDS base station and the WDS repeaters are secured using the same encryption (for instance, WPA/WPA2).

More about Internet Telephony 4 More about Internet Telephony Voice over IP (VoIP) Internet telephony has already been in use for years, but today it allows even private customers the convenience familiar from conventional telephony, usually at significantly lower prices. Internet telephony has also made it considerably more convenient to use applications like conference calls and answering machines in networks.
More about Virtual Private Network (VPN) 5 More about Virtual Private Network (VPN) Via VPN a secure remote access to the network of the FRITZ!Box can be established. • • The VPN solution for the FRITZ!Box is based on the IPSec standard. • • Eight simultaneous active VPN connections are supported. • A free VPN client for individual computers can also be downloaded from the AVM web site.
Security through a VPN Local network B Local network A Tunnel Internet The terminals of the tunnels can be individual computers or entire networks. For instance, telecommuters or field staff can connect to the company network via VPN. The local network at a branch office can also be connected to the local network of company headquarters via VPN. Both of the locations securely connected over VPN must have an Internet connection at their disposal. 5.
The Tunnel Technology The VPN tunnel fulfills these security requirements. The VPN tunnel is implemented using a tunnel protocol. 5.3 The Tunnel Technology A tunnel is created by placing an IP packet to be transmitted inside of an additional, new IP packet. An IP packet is composed of the IP header and the user data. The IP header contains the IP address of the destination and the IP address of the sender. The original packet is encrypted and authenticated before repacking.
Supplementary Software for VPN IPSec is a tunnel protocol that offers state-of-the-art encryption procedures and can be integrated seamlessly into existing IP networks. The AES encryption algorithm is used in the FRITZ!Box VPN solution. AES is the most modern encryption algorithm. 5.4 Supplementary Software for VPN All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configuration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive this file.

The FRITZ!Box offers a prioritization function that can be used to divide network applications and network devices into three different categories. The category assigned determines whether an application or device is treated with more or less priority when it accesses the Internet. 6.
Categories for Prioritization • Change in the order in which packets are sent to the Internet (upstream direction) The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed. • Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the transmission of higher-priority packets. This method is used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the Internet connection alllows.
Categories for Prioritization – Whenever Internet telephony is included in this category, this application always has the highest priority, even over other real-time applications. • Prioritized applications This category is suitable for applications that require a fast reaction time (for example, company access, terminal applications, games).
Categories for Prioritization In order to use prioritization, the “Expert Mode” must be enabled in the user interface of the FRITZ!Box. Menu 1. Start a web browser on your computer and enter fritz.box in the address field of the browser. 2. Click “Expert Mode” in the “System” menu, enable the setting “Show expert settings” and confirm this setting by clicking “Apply”. The “Prioritization” menu is located in the “Internet” menu.
More Functions 7 More Functions This chapter introduces additional useful functions and features of the FRITZ!Box. 7.1 Child Protection The child protection feature in the FRITZ!Box allows you to specify when and for how long individual computers or Windows users may use the Internet. For instance, you can define that your children are allowed to use the Internet connection only on weekdays between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and then only for one hour.
Energy Monitor The energy consumption is shown as a percentage. The maximum power consumption value of the FRITZ!Box is the amount of energy used when all functions are in operation. The “Energy Monitor” page shows the following: • “FRITZ!Box system overall” This graph shows how much energy all of the FRITZ!Box functions are using at the moment, and how much they use in total on an average day. When all functions and modules are working at capacity, this value equals 100%.
Push Service E-mail 7.3 Push Service E-mail With push service you can specify that the FRITZ!Box sends you e-mail messages with status and consumption data at regular intervals. The e-mail contains a table with the overview of your FRITZ!Box connections. The call list is also sent as a file in csv format. The file can then be opened and evaluated statistically with appropriate software like a spreadsheet program. The push service mail is set up in the “System / Push Service” menu. 7.
Night Service • “Do Not Disturb enabled” setting When this setting is selected, the telephones connected with the FRITZ!Box will not ring. This setting does not apply to the IP telephones. They are connected with the FRITZ!Box either by means of a network cable or via WLAN. The Do Not Disturb setting is not applied to IP telephones. If you connected a fax machine to the FRITZ!Box, this device is disabled during night service.

Glossary Glossary ADSL abbreviation for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL (G.992.1/G992.2) was developed on the basis of DSL technology in order to satisfy the increasing demand for higher throughput rates during uploading and downloading. It 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).
Glossary 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 equipment compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be operated on ADSL2+ lines, although they cannot exploit the advantages of ADSL2+. ADSL-Controller An ADSL-Controller is an electronic hardware module that allows a computer to access an ADSL line.
Glossary DNS server to be used and of the default gateway. In assigning the IP addresses the DHCP server selects from a prescribed range of IP addresses. DNS abbreviation for Domain Name System Domain Name Service takes care of determining the IP address for a given domain name. This Domain Name Service runs on every computer. It accepts the domain name entered by a user and inquires about the corresponding IP address at a DNS server known to the service.
Glossary DDNS abbreviation for Dynamic Domain Name System DDNS is a service which allows a computer always to be reached under the same domain name despite constantly changing public IP addresses. This means the home network can always be reached from the Internet, regardless of the user’s location. Even private users have an economical way of placing their own Internet offers on their computer at home.
Glossary fixed IP address Fixed IP addresses are IP addresses which are permanently assigned to a computer or another device like a network printer. Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases when 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 e-mail server). firewall A firewall protects a computer or local network against attacks from the Internet.
Glossary available as stand-alone software or are components of some ISDN data transfer software; simple FTP clients are now included in many web browsers. 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.
Glossary 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. 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 Internet or a local IP network.
Glossary Properties of IP Address Classes Every IP address consists of two parts: the network address and the host address. The sizes of the network address and the host address are variable, and determined by the first four bits (of the first byte) of the IP address. IP masquerading IP network NAS functionality By means of IP masquerading a computer or LAN can be protected from unauthorized connection request from the Internet.
Glossary own public IP address in all outgoing data packets. The router saves all necessary information in a table so that incoming data packets can then be assigned to the correct network device. outside dialing prefix The outside dialing prefix is the digit dialed at an extension line to obtain an outside line. Generally this is “0”. public IP address A public IP address is an IP address valid in the Internet.
Glossary services. This is also a way of preventing any Trojans (malicious applications opening backdoors on a computer) that may have infected your computer from receiving data on ports it created as means of accessing your computer for potentially damaging activities. A firewall blocks most atypical port numbers not required for normal operation of an application and offers specialized users the opportunity to forward specified ports.
Glossary Stick & Surf Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast, simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio networks. This technique allows for the straightforward transmission of all important parameters of a radio network from the access point to any computer that is to be added to the radio cell.
Glossary Example 1 Network address of the subnet: 192.168.178.0 Address of the computer in the 192.168.178.247 subnet: IP address pool in the subnet: 192.168.178.0 192.168.178.255 The IP addresses 192.168.178.0 and 192.168.178.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from 192.168.178.1 to 192.168.178.254 are available for assignment to the computers. Therefore a maximum of 254 computers can be included in the subnetwork. Example 2 IP address: 192.168.178.247 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.
Glossary TCP/IP abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol TCP/IP is the “language” of the Internet. TCP/IP is used to refer to a suite of protocols used for data communication over the Internet. TCP and IP are the network and transport protocols underlying most Internet services, including file transfer (FTP) and e-mail communication (SMTP). TCP/IP is available for practically all computer systems.
Glossary The high throughput rates make it possible to support multimedia services. With special cards or USB sticks the Internet connection can also be provided for laptops or computers via UMTS. 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. upload This term designates the procedure of transmitting files from one’s own computer to another computer in the Internet.
Glossary VDSL abbreviation for Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line In Germany, the DSL technology VDSL is increasingly becoming available in the VDSL2 (G993.2) version. VDSL2 is a further development of the ADSL2+ standard, to which it is fully 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.
Glossary VoIP abbreviation for Voice over IP, also known as Internet telephony Voice over IP makes telephone calls possible via the Internet. The technology has already been in use for years, but today it allows even private customers the convenience familiar from conventional telephony, usually at significantly lower prices. VoIP has also made it considerably more convenient to use applications like conference calls and answering machines in networks.
Glossary wireless structure. A further useful purpose for WLAN technology is to link segments of existing cable-connected networks.
