Saving Energy with FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box combines a variety of devices in one device: VDSL and
ADSL modem, WLAN router and media server. This means that you gen-
erally use much less power with the FRITZ!Box than you would with sev-
eral separate devices.
What is more, the FRITZ!Box saves energy by reducing processing power
on standby and lowering the power consumption of idle functions. The
FRITZ!Box also offers various settings for energy-saving operation.
15.1 Saving Energy with the WLAN Radio Network
You can reduce the power consumption of the WLAN radio
network by
•
setting up night service for the WLAN radio network (see
•
turning off the WLAN radio network with the “WLAN” but-
ton whenever no more WLAN devices are registered on
the FRITZ!Box.
•
adjusting the setting “Maximum transmitter power” to
the percentage level actually needed. This setting is con-
figured in the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu in the
FRITZ!Box user interface.
15.2 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 energy-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.
The current energy consumption of the total FRITZ!Box sys-
tem is displayed on the “Overview” page. From there, click
with the mouse to view the Energy Monitor, which displays
details on the energy consumption.
