Using Energy-Saving Functions of the FRITZ!Box
FRITZ!Box 7272

What is more, the FRITZ!Box saves energy by reducing pro-
cessing power on standby and lowering the power consump-
tion of idle functions. The FRITZ!Box also offers various
settings for energy-saving operation.
The current energy consumption of the total FRITZ!Box system
is displayed on the “Overview” page. From there, click with
the mouse to view the “Energy Monitor”, which displays de-
tails on the energy consumption.
Energy-Efficient Operation of the Wireless LAN Radio
Network
The WLAN module of the FRITZ!Box works in “Green AP
mode”. This means it is especially energy-efficient: As soon
as no more wireless LAN devices are connected with the
FRITZ!Box, the energy consumption of the WLAN module is
automatically reduced to a minimum. “Green AP” operation
has no effect on the accessibility of the wireless network for
wireless LAN devices, since the new registration of a wireless
LAN device automatically ends the mode, thus restoring full
wireless LAN functionality to the FRITZ!Box.
You can further reduce the power consumption of the WLAN
radio network by configuring the following settings:
•
set up a schedule for the wireless radio network in the
“WLAN / Schedule” menu; see
•
turn off the wireless radio network whenever no more
wireless LAN devices are registered with the FRITZ!Box;
