Restarting the FRITZ!Box
You can restart the FRITZ!Box via the user interface or on the
device. A restart may be necessary if the FRITZ!Box no longer
reacts, or if Internet connections can no longer be estab-
lished for no apparent reason. All components of the
FRITZ!Box are reinitialized and the event messages deleted.
Your current FRITZ!Box settings will be overwritten by
the settings in the backup file.
