5.2 Connecting Computers Wirelessly over WLAN
Using WLAN radio technology you can connect multiple computers with the FRITZ!Box wirelessly.
Please note the following before establishing a wireless connection between the computer and the FRITZ!Box:
• WLAN device
A computer to be connected to the FRITZ!Box via WLAN
must be equipped with a WLAN device for it to support
WLAN. A WLAN device can be an external WLAN adapter—like a USB stick, for example—or a device integrated
in the computer. Many modern computers and notebooks come with a WLAN device integrated.
• WLAN security settings
In the FRITZ!Box, WLAN security settings are enabled upon delivery. Before a computer can establish a wireless
connection to the FRITZ!Box, the WLAN security settings
of the FRITZ!Box must be transferred to the WLAN device.
For this procedure the FRITZ!Box supports the two automatic methods AVM Stick & Surf and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). The security settings can also be transferred
manually.
For more information on WLAN, see the section FRITZ!Box as
a WLAN Base Station from page 71.

Connecting Computers Wirelessly over WLAN
WLAN devices are generally delivered with their own WLAN
software, which is installed in the computer along with the
WLAN device. By now many operating systems have WLAN
software included. Integrated WLAN devices sometimes use
the operating system’s WLAN software.
Installing a WLAN Device
If you need to use a separate WLAN device because you do
not have one integrated, then install the WLAN device in the
computer along with the corresponding WLAN software.
Please take note of the instructions in the documentation of
the device.
Transferring WLAN Security Settings
The values for WLAN security preconfigured in the FRITZ!Box
have to be transferred to the WLAN device.
The values preset in the FRITZ!Box are printed on the sticker
attached to the bottom of the housing. If you would like to
establish a WLAN connection using these values, then your
WLAN device must support the preset encryption method. If
this is not the case, first change the settings in the FRITZ!Box.
To do this, connect your computer and the FRITZ!Box using a
network cable.
1. Start the WLAN software.

FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router
12 FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router
The FRITZ!Box connects computers in your home network with the
Internet. This chapter explains the possibilities offered by using the
FRITZ!Box as an Internet router and how to take advantage of them.
12.1 Child Protection: Restricting Internet Access
The child protection feature allows you to define access rules
to the Internet for individual computers or Windows users.
These access rules may include restrictions of Internet access
time, filter lists and a list with blocked network applications.
• Restrict Internet access time: Using the time restriction
you can restrict the amount of time the user can surf the
web. You can define on which days of the week, at what
times of day, and for how long a computer or Windows
user is allowed to use the Internet connection.
• Block or permit web sites: you can use filter lists to de-
fine which Internet pages are allowed to be accessed
and to which access is blocked. For instance, you can
block all Internet pages the government has defined as
offensive or harmful to minors.
You can create both filter lists, the whitelist and the
blacklist. A whitelist contains all Internet pages to which
access is allowed. A blacklist contains all Internet pages
to which access is blocked.
• Block network applications: You can list network appli-
cations for which Internet access should be blocked. For
instance, you can block Internet access for file-sharing
software.
Child protection can be enabled for each computer individually, regardless of the computer’s operating system.
You can also enable child protection individually for all Windows users in all Windows operating systems (Windows 7,
Windows Vista and Windows XP). This option is useful if a
computer is used by multiple users.
FRITZ!Box 7330 57
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
The child protection feature is available only if you have set
up the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and established
an Internet connection. Child protection is not available if you
have configured the FRITZ!Box as an IP client. In this case, use
the corresponding functions of the router whose Internet connection is being shared.
Setting Up Child Protection in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
2. Select the “Internet / Filters” menu.
3. Set up child protection. See the Online Help available in
the FRITZ!Box user interface for more information.
12.2 Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your computer and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet. For
applications like online games and file sharing software or
server services like HTTP, FTP, VPN, terminal and remote access servers you have to make your computer accessible for
other Internet users.
Port Forwarding
Using port forwarding, you allow incoming connections from
the Internet. By releasing certain ports for incoming connections, you grant controlled access to your computers in your
network to other Internet users. Ports serve to assign incoming data packets to the various applications when all applications can be accessed at one IP address only.
The following port forwarding methods are possible in the
FRITZ!Box:
FRITZ!Box 7330 58
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
PING IPv4:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box.
IPv6:
The FRITZ!Box responds to ping inquiries from
the Internet addressed to the IPv6 address of the
FRITZ!Box. Additionally, you can set up PING6
port forwarding rules for each computer in the
home network since each computer has its own
globally valid IPv6 address.
TCP
UDP
ESP
GRE
Exposed Host
(Open firewall
completely)
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when entering the port range. One port can be opened for
exactly one computer.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the FRITZ!Box
firewall for the protocols TCP and UDP when entering the port range. One port can be opened for
each computer in the network.
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
for the two protocols ESP and GRE which do not
use ports.
IPv4:
Within IPv4 networks you can open the firewall
for one computer completely. This computer is
then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box firewall. If individual ports are already open for other
computers, then data packets for these ports are
not forwarded to the exposed host but to the other computer instead.
IPv6:
Within IPv6 networks you can open the firewall
for each computer completely. These computers
are then no longer protected by the FRITZ!Box
firewall.
FRITZ!Box 7330 59
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the Internet
Setting Up Port Forwarding in the FRITZ!Box
• IPv4: Port forwarding for IPv4 is set up in the “Internet /
Permit Access” menu, on the “Port Forwarding” page.
• IPv6: Enable the advanced view. Port forwarding for IPv6
is also set up in the “Internet / Permit Access” menu, on
the “IPv6” page.
Determining the IPv4 Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box
If you have enabled ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box, other Internet users can access your computers at the IP address
assigned to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet service provider.
This is a public IPv4 address.
Here is how to determine the public IPv4 address of the
FRITZ!Box:
1. Open any Internet page in order to establish an Internet
connection.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface and enable the ad-
vanced view in the user interface.
3. The FRITZ!Box’s public IPv4 address is displayed on the
“Overview” page in the “Connections” area.
Every time the Internet connection is interrupted the Internet
service provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address
may change in the process. Therefore it is a good idea to use
MyFRITZ! or dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always
be reached under the same name. For more information
about MyFRITZ!, see the section MyFRITZ!: Global Access to
the FRITZ!Box on page 54. For more information about dy-
namic DNS, see the section Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of
IP Address on page 61.
FRITZ!Box 7330 60
Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
12.3 Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
Dynamic DNS is an Internet service that makes it possible for
the FRITZ!Box to remain accessible from the Internet at all
times under a fixed name, even though the public IP address
changes.
Dynamic DNS can be used as an alternative to MyFRITZ!. Both
services can be used in parallel.
You must register with a dynamic DNS provider to use this
service. When you register, you agree on the fixed name (domain name) at which your FRITZ!Box should be accessible
from the Internet. You also define a user name and password.
Every time the IP address changes, the FRITZ!Box transmits
the new IP address to the dynamic DNS provider in the form of
an update request. Then the domain name is assigned to the
current IP address by the dynamic DNS provider.
Setting Up Dynamic DNS in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
4. Select the “Dynamic DNS” page and set up dynamic
DNS. Consult the Online Help available in the FRITZ!Box
user interface for more information.
12.4 Remote Access over HTTPS
With this function it is possible to access the user interface of
the FRITZ!Box from another location. This allows you to configure settings in the FRITZ!Box or perform a FRITZ!OS update
using a computer that is not in your own network (LAN or
WLAN).
Setting Up Remote Access over HTTPS in the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
FRITZ!Box 7330 61
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
4. Select the “Remote Access” page and set up dynamic
DNS. For more information, see the Online Help.
12.5 Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Prioritization is a function you can use to specify that network
applications and network devices be treated with higher or
lower priority when they access the Internet connection. For
example, you may wish to ensure that applications like Internet telephony, IPTV and video on demand are always treated
with higher priority than other applications. You can also
specify that file-sharing applications like eMule and BitTorrent always have to wait behind online games.
Categories for Prioritization
There are three categories for prioritization: “real-time applications”, “prioritized applications” and “background applications”. The categories are explained below.
Network applications and network devices are assigned to
the categories using rules.
Real-time Applications
• Network applications of this category always have priori-
ty over other applications accessing the Internet at the
same time.
• When the Internet connection is working at full capacity,
the network packets of the applications of this category
will always be sent first. In this case data from network
applications assigned to other categories, like “prioritized applications”, will be transmitted later.
• If multiple network applications are assigned to this cat-
egory, then they must share the available capacity.
• Whenever Internet telephony is included in this catego-
ry, this application always has the highest priority, even
over other real-time applications.
FRITZ!Box 7330 62
Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Prioritized Applications
This category is suitable for applications that require a fast reaction time (for example, company access, terminal applications, games).
• For network applications prioritized in this category,
90% of the FRITZ!Box’s upload bandwidth is available,
as long as no application from the “real-time applications” category requires bandwidth. The remaining 10%
of the upload bandwidth is available for applications
that are prioritized in lower categories or not prioritized
at all.
• If multiple network applications are assigned to the “pri-
oritized applications” category, then they must share
the available capacity.
Background Applications
This category is suitable for applications that do not require
any high transmission speed and which are not time-critical
(for example, peer-to-peer services or automatic updates).
• Network applications assigned to this category are al-
ways treated with the lowest priority when the Internet
connection is working at full capacity. So whenever an
application from a different category or a non-prioritized
application requires the entire bandwidth, all background applications must wait until bandwidth capacity
becomes available again.
• If no other network applications are active, then the
background applications receive the entire bandwidth.
Prioritization Method in the FRITZ!Box
The following algorithm is used in the FRITZ!Box to send data
packets according to their 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.

DNS Server: Freely Selectable
12.7 DNS Server: Freely Selectable
DNS servers are preset in the FRITZ!Box for IPv4 and IPv6.
These are the DNS servers assigned by the Internet service
provider.
For both IPv4 and IPv6, the preset DNS server can be replaced
by a free DNS server. Free DNS servers include, for instance,
OpenDNS and Google DNS.
Here is how to change the DNS server entry:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. In the “Internet / Account Information” menu, select the
“DNS Server” page.
4. Change the settings for the DNS servers.
The “DNSv6 Server” area is displayed only if you enabled IPv6 support for the FRITZ!Box on the “IPv6” page.
12.8 DNSSEC: Security for DNS Queries
DNSSEC is short for Domain Name System Security Extensions. As the name says, this is an extension of DNS, the
domain name system.
DNSSEC ensures that both the DNS server and the information returned by the DNS server are authentic, or genuine.
Security with DNSSEC
When a home user surfs the web, she or he sends queries to
the Internet by entering URLs in the address line of the browser. A URL is the name of a web site that is easy to remember,
such as www.avm.de/en
er first. The DNS server resolves the URL into the corresponding IP address. There is one unambiguous IP address for
every URL.
FRITZ!Box 7330 66
. Every query is sent to the DNS serv-
IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
The home user relies on the authenticity of the IP address returned by the DNS server. Authentic means that the response
is the IP address of the desired web site, and not a faked IP
address that leads to a fake web site. DNSSEC can ensure that
the returned addresses are authentic.
Support with the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box supports DNSSEC queries over UDP.
The FRITZ!Box has a DNS proxy. The computers in the home
network use the FRITZ!Box as a DNS server. The FRITZ!Box forwards DNSSEC queries from the home network to the Internet. The FRITZ!Box forwards DNSSEC responses from the
Internet to the home network. The DNSSEC information must
be validated on the computer in the home network. For this
DNSSEC must be supported in the operating system.
12.9 IPv6: The New Internet Protocol
IPv6 stands for Internet protocol version 6 and is the successor to IPv4.
The FRITZ!Box supports the new IPv6 web protocol and can
establish IPv6 connections:
• IPv6 support can be switched on in the FRITZ!Box user
interface.
• For simultaneous use of IPv6 and IPv4, the FRITZ!Box
supports dual-stack and dual-stack lite. This means that
the FRITZ!Box can communicate with both IPv4 and IPv6
domains in the Internet.
• The FRITZ!Box supports native IPv6 and IPv6 with a tun-
nel protocol. Native IPv6 means that your Internet
service provider supports IPv6 directly on your line.

tems since Mac OS 10.
12.10Mobile Nnetwork: Replacing Faulty DSL
Internet access over the mobile telephone network can be set
up so that the mobile telephone connection is established
automatically whenever the DSL connection fails. This guarantees Internet access even when the DSL connection is
missing. A USB modem for mobile Internet access
(UMTS/HSPA) and a SIM card from a mobile communications
provider are required for this. The FRITZ!Box supports
UMTS/HSPA modems from various manufacturers.
Here is how to set up the mobile telephone connection as a
substitute upon DSL failure:
1. Insert the USB modem in the USB port on the FRITZ!Box.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
In the “Internet” menu, the sub-menu “Mobile Telephone Network” is displayed.
The “Mobile Telephone Network” menu is not available
until the UMTS/HSPA modem has been connected to the
USB port of the FRITZ!Box.
3. Select the setting “Automatically enable the mobile con-
nection when the DSL connection is disrupted”.

FRITZ!Box as a WLAN Base Station
13 FRITZ!Box as a WLAN Base Station
The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN base station for WLAN devices like notebooks, tablets or smartphones. The FRITZ!Box can establish WLAN
connections compliant with the fast WLAN N standard. The FRITZ!Box
is preconfigured with an encryption method from today’s safest method WPA2. This encryption method is supported by most of the latest
WLAN devices. The FRITZ!Box supports wireless LAN convenience
functions like guest access, night service and WPS Quick Connection.
13.1 Connecting WLAN Devices Securely with the FRITZ!Box
In a WLAN radio network security is of the utmost importance.
This is why WLAN connections between the FRITZ!Box and
your wireless devices are encrypted. For encryption the
FRITZ!Box and your wireless devices must use the same encryption method. The FRITZ!Box is preconfigured with an encryption method that combines today’s safest methods WPA
and WPA2. These encryption methods are supported by most
of the latest wireless devices.
If you would like to use wireless devices that do not support
WPA2 or WPA, you can switch encryption in the FRITZ!Box to
the older, less secure WEP method. You can also establish
non-encrypted wireless LAN connections. However, if at all
possible we recommend always establishing WPA2 wireless
LAN connections.
WLAN devices can be connected with the FRITZ!Box automatically or manually. A particularly simple and secure automatic
method is WPS, with which a WLAN connection can be established at the touch of a button. For manual WLAN connections
with the FRITZ!Box use the WLAN software of your WLAN
device or the WLAN program on your computer.
Connecting WLAN Devices Automatically (WPS)
WLAN devices that support the fast connection method WPS
can be connected with the FRITZ!Box automatically.
1. Start the WPS function of your WLAN device. Consult the
documentation of the WLAN device to find out how to
start WPS.
FRITZ!Box 7330 71
Connecting WLAN Devices Securely with the FRITZ!Box
2. Press the WLAN button on the FRITZ!Box until the
“WLAN” LED begins flashing. You have 2 minutes for this
task.
3. Your WLAN device and the FRITZ!Box now establish a se-
cure WLAN connection automatically. The WLANFRITZ!Box LED stops flashing and remains on.
With this, the WLAN connection is established. Your WLAN
device is integrated into your home network and can use the
Internet connection of the FRITZ!Box.
Connecting WLAN Devices Manually
You can connect WLAN devices with the FRITZ!Box manually.
WLAN devices like notebooks, tablets and smartphones use
the WLAN software of their own operating system for this connection. A WLAN adapter at the USB port of your computer
can use the WLAN software of your computer or a WLAN program of its own. No matter what program is used to establish
the WLAN connection, the principle is the same: the WLAN
software searches for a WLAN radio network in the vicinity
and, after authorization with a WLAN key, enables the WLAN
connection between the FRITZ!Box and your WLAN device.
1. Make sure that the WLAN function of the FRITZ!Box is en-
abled and the “WLAN” LED is on. If “WLAN” is not on,
press the “WLAN” button briefly.
2. Start the WLAN software of your WLAN device. Consult
the documentation of your WLAN device for instructions.
3. Search for the WLAN radio network of your FRITZ!Box.
Upon delivery this network is called
“FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7330”.
4. Enter the WLAN key of the FRITZ!Box.
With this, the WLAN connection is established. Your WLAN
device is integrated into your home network and can use the
Internet connection of the FRITZ!Box.
FRITZ!Box 7330 72
Connecting WLAN Devices with the FRITZ!Box Guest Access
13.2 Connecting WLAN Devices with the FRITZ!Box Guest Access
With the FRITZ!Box you can provide your guests with an Internet connection of their own. At this guest access they can surf
the web with their own smartphones or tablets, but cannot
access the contents of your home network.
You can set up a guest access if you have connected the
FRITZ!Box directly to your DSL line. If the FRITZ!Box is connected in another way, for instance to a cable modem, you cannot
set up guest access.
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Make sure that the wireless radio network (WLAN) is en-
abled in the “WLAN / Radio Network” menu.
3. Select the “WLAN / Guest Access” menu and enable
guest access.
4. Assign a name for the guest wireless network (SSID) and
enter a WLAN key at least 20 characters long under
“Security”.
This concludes the setup of your guest access. Now guests
can register their WLAN devices with the FRITZ!Box.
1. Your guest starts the WLAN software of her or his WLAN
device, searches for your guest wireless network and enters the WLAN key you specified for authorization.
2. The WLAN connection will be established.
Your guest’s WLAN device can use the Internet connection of
the FRITZ!Box, but has no access to your home network. For
more information, see the Online Help.

Switching the WLAN Radio Network On and Off by Schedule
13.3 Switching the WLAN Radio Network On and Off by Schedule
You can switch the WLAN radio network of the FRITZ!Box automatically according to a schedule. This function is called
“night service” and reduces the power consumption of the
FRITZ!Box by completely turning off the WLAN module. The
FRITZ!Box night service also affects any other FRITZ! products
connected in the network (FRITZ!WLAN Repeater, for instance)
by switching the WLAN transmission of these devices on and
off as well.
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Open the “System / Night Service” menu.
3. Enable the schedule for the WLAN radio network.
With the options “Switch WLAN off daily” and “Switch
WLAN off according to schedule” you define the intervals of the schedule. You can also select the option “The
radio network cannot be switched off until no more
WLAN devices are active”.
For more information on these settings, see the Online Help.

Enlarging the WLAN Radio Network
13.4 Enlarging the WLAN Radio Network
The range of a WLAN radio network is not specified. It depends on
• the WLAN devices you are using for your WLAN connec-
tions
• interference in the vicinity of your WLAN radio network
• the structural conditions where you operate the WLAN
radio network
• the number of WLAN devices in the vicinity of your
FRITZ!Box that work in the same frequency range
You can extend the range of your WLAN radio network with a
WLAN repeater.
Or you can set up a second WLAN router, for instance a second FRITZ!Box as a WDS repeater.
Expanding a WLAN Radio Network with a WLAN
Repeater
You can expand your WLAN radio network with a WLAN repeater. In combination with the FRITZ!Box the AVM
FRITZ!WLAN Repeaters are especially suitable. All models of
the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater series can be integrated into your
WLAN radio network and your home network by WPS Quick
Connection. Find out more in the Internet at:
www.avm.de/en/Produkte/FRITZ_WLAN/FRITZ_WLAN_

Expanding a WLAN Radio Network with a WDS Repeater
You can expand the WLAN radio network of your FRITZ!Box
with what is called a WDS repeater. A WDS repeater can be a
FRITZ!Box or any WLAN router you already have that can be
configured as a WDS repeater to expand your WLAN radio network.
FRITZ!Box 7330 75
WLAN—Getting Technical
See the documentation of your device to find out whether
your existing WLAN router supports the WDS function and
how to configure it as a WDS repeater. Your FRITZ!Box or another FRITZ!Box model can be configured as a WDS repeater
by working through the following steps:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2. Select “View: Advanced”.
3. Select the “WLAN / WDS” menu and follow the instruc-
tions displayed on the screen.
See the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box for more information.
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.
13.5 WLAN—Getting Technical
A wireless LAN radio network is based on standards defined
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
These standards describe, for instance, the transmission
speeds, encryption methods and frequencies used in a wireless LAN network.
WLAN Standards
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) defined the WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i for WLAN radio
networks.
Standards for the Throughput Rate
The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and net
transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission
rate of the user data.
FRITZ!Box 7330 76
WLAN—Getting Technical
The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. WLAN devices
based on one or more of the standards listed can be used for
WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.
Standard Frequency Band Gross Data Throughput up to Net Data Throughput up to
802.11b 2.4 GHz 11 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s
802.11g 2.4 GHz 54 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
802.11n 2.4 GHz 300 Mbit/s 150 Mbit/s
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 802.11b.
However, if the WLAN device supports newer standards such
as 802.11g, the latest standard should be used.
IEEE 802.11g
This is currently the most common WLAN standard. It communicates with a maximum of 54 Mbit/s gross in the 2.4-GHz
frequency range (ISM) and guarantees broad compatibility
with many WLAN devices.
IEEE 802.11n
This standard allows for high throughput rates and ranges.
The FRITZ!Box supports 802.11n in the 2.4-GHz frequency
band. Modulation processes and antenna techniques like
MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) use the frequency
band 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 (AESCCMP).
Thanks to compatibility with the 802.11g standard, you can
also continue to use older WLAN devices.
FRITZ!Box 7330 77

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.

FRITZ!Box supports the AES encryption procedure as part of
the WPA2 mechanism, and the TKIP encryption procedure as
part of the WPA mechanism. This means that the FRITZ!Box
can be used in combination with any WLAN devices that also
support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.
FRITZ!Box 7330 79
WLAN—Getting Technical
Frequency Ranges
WLAN uses the frequency ranges at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as its
transmission range.
With the FRITZ!Box you can establish WLAN connections in
the 2.4-GHz range.
2.4-GHz Frequency Band
In the 2.4-GHz frequency band WLAN works in the same range
as Bluetooth, microwave devices and various other devices
like radio-controlled toys, garage-door openers and video
bridges. This means that interference may occur within
WLANs operated in the vicinity of such devices. Generally this
has adverse effects on the transmission rate, including aborted connections.
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 130 Mbit/s) or 40 MHz (throughput of up to 300 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 2.4-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.
Should interference in a WLAN persist, the first step should
be to select a different channel.
FRITZ!Box 7330 80
WLAN—Getting Technical
WLAN Autochannel
With the WLAN autochannel function, the FRITZ!Box automatically searches for the channel subject to the least interference. This process takes into consideration interference from
radio networks in the vicinity (WLAN base stations) and potential sources of interference (for instance video bridges, baby monitors, microwave ovens). Should problems with interference persist despite this function, try to identify the source
of interference and switch it off manually.
Additional tips on interference in the WLAN radio network are
presented in the section Ruling Out Interference from Other
Wireless Networks from page 134.
