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.

Support for IPTV via T-Home Entertainment

Enable this setting if you want to use your FRITZ!Box to take advantage of offers from T-Home Entertainment.

Enter the corresponding throughput rates of your DSL line in the "Upstream" and "Downstream" fields. These values are required in the FRITZ!Box to ensure the prioritization of the network devices. This information is supplied by your DSL provider.
