    Generally no entry is required in the "DHCP Host Name" field.
  • Configure the IP address manually
    Select this setting if FRITZ!Box should receive a fixed, static IP address, and enter all of the required IP information in the appropriate fields.

Enter the corresponding throughput rates of your DSL line in the "Upstream" and "Downstream" fields. This information is supplied by your DSL provider.

Attention: After changes to these settings are applied, the FRITZ!Box user interface can be reached only via the configured IP address or the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.
