Configuring Internet Connections
The Internet access is set up in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Internet access for the FRITZ!Box can be made available via two different
connection types:
Internet connection via DSL
With this kind of connection the FRITZ!Box can be operated as a DSL
router. In this case the DSL connection is established by the
FRITZ!Box, and registration at the Internet Service Provider is also
taken care of by the FRITZ!Box.
Internet connection via LAN 1 / WAN
The FRITZ!Box must be connected to an existing system via a net-
work, as a cable modem, or as a DSL router (see the connection in-
structions).
For this connection type the FRITZ!Box can be connected with an al-
ready existing Internet connection via the local network, an existing
DSL router or a similar means. In this case the FRITZ!Box is operated
either as an NAT router for the connected computers, or as an IP cli-
ent in the network that shares the existing Internet connection.
Then the LAN 1 port functions as an uplink or WAN port.
The following section presents instructions for configuring Internet ac-
cess for both types of connection.
The Internet access is configured by setting up the FRITZ!Box for the se-
lected connection type and operation mode and defining the connection
settings. If necessary, enter the account information provided by your In-
ternet Service Provider.
