Enabling Energy-Saving Mode for USB Hard Drives
In the FRITZ!Box you can enable an energy-saving function for
USB hard drives connected to the FRITZ!Box. When the ener-
gy-saving function is enabled, connected USB hard drives will
be switched off when they are idle—as long as the hard drives
support the energy-saving function.
Enable the energy-saving function in the “Home Network >
USB Devices” menu in the FRITZ!Box user interface. You can
also test here whether your USB hard disk supports the ener-
gy-saving function.

Saving Energy at the LAN Ports
For energy-efficient use of your gigabit LAN ports, in the “LAN
Settings” you can specify for each individual LAN port wheth-
er it should always operate at full power (power mode) or
should reduce its energy consumption (green mode). With
green mode you can reduce the power consumption of the
FRITZ!Box to the level necessary for your applications.
The LAN ports can be configured in the advanced view of the
FRITZ!Box user interface (see
). In the “Home Network
> Network > Network Settings” menu you can select from
among the following operating modes in the “LAN Settings”
area:
Operating Mode
Functionality and Power Consumption
Power Mode
In this setting LAN connections are estab-
lished with a maximum throughput of 1
Gbit/s.
Higher power consumption than in “Green
mode”
Green Mode
As needed, the FRITZ!Box establishes LAN
connections with a data throughput rate of
100 Mbit/s.
Lower power consumption than for the “Power
mode” setting.
