The following section describes the connection settings available when the following settings have already been configured for the Internet connection:

Attention: If you change the settings for Internet access, click the "Apply" button to implement them in the FRITZ!Box. Otherwise all changes will be discarded!

1. Select your Internet Service Provider from the list.
2. Enter the Internet account information you received from your Internet Service Provider in the appropriate fields.

Clear Internet connection automatically

If your DSL rate is charged according to online time, you should have the Internet connection cleared whenever you are not exchanging data with the Internet to save online costs. This allows you to save on online charges.
Select the option "Hang up after ... seconds" and enter the time after which an idle connection is to be cleared automatically. Now the Internet connection will be cleared automatically whenever the connected computers do not request data from the Internet for the specified period.

Note: When a connection to the Internet has been cleared, you cannot be reached by telephone over the Internet.

If your DSL rate is not charged according to online time, select the option "Maintain Internet connection permanently". Then the FRITZ!Box is always connected with the Internet. If your Internet Service Provider clears the connection at regular intervals, for instance every 24 hours, FRITZ!Box restores the connection immediately.

If the Internet Service Provider clears the connection at an inconvenient time, you can re-schedule this event for a more convenient period.
To do this, enable the option "Delay disconnection by provider to the period between". Then select the period of time from the list.

Set the speed of the DSL line automatically

Select this setting if the speed at the DSL line determined by FRITZ!Box corresponds with the speed contracted for your rate with the DSL provider.

Set the speed of the DSL line manually

Select this setting if the following is true: Your DSL provider operates the DSL line at a speed higher than the one contracted for your DSL line. The FRITZ!Box detects the higher speed at the DSL line. However, at the switching center the speed is throttled to the contracted rate. The speed must be entered manually so that FRITZ!Box knows the actual speed and can perform traffic shaping correctly. Enter the throughput rates contracted for your DSL line in the "Upstream" and "Downstream" fields.

DSL ATM Settings

In this area you can enter information manually about the ATM settings used on your DSL line.

Attention: Only make changes here if the ATM settings deviate from the preset values and are not recognized automatically. Improper changes to the settings may result in malfunction of the FRITZ!Box Internet connection.

You can make the following settings:

Detect all ATM settings automatically

When this option is enabled, the ATM settings of your DSL line will be detected by the FRITZ!Box automatically.

Define ATM settings manually

Enable this option if the ATM settings have to be configured manually.
Your DSL provider will inform you about what values are required.
