Using System Functions of the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box offers a slew of system functions like notification ser-
vices, diagnostics functions and updating services, which inform you
about the activities and functional status of the FRITZ!Box and help
you operate the FRITZ!Box safely and always keep it up to date.
8.1
Diagnostics: Checking FRITZ!Box Functions
With the diagnostics function you can get an overview of the
functional status of your FRITZ!Box, its Internet connection
and your home network. In the case of an error the diagnos-
tics results can help you localize and remedy any problems.

Using Energy-Saving Functions of the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box combines a variety of devices in one device:
ADSL modem, WLAN router, media server, answering ma-
chine, fax machine and DECT base station for cordless tele-
phones. This means that you generally use much less power
with the FRITZ!Box than you would with several separate de-
vices.
