Internet Account Type

Enter the Internet account information you received from your Internet Service Provider.

If your DSL rate is charged according to online time, you should have the Internet connection cleared whenever you are not exchanging data with the Internet to save online costs. This allows you to save on online charges.
To do this, select the option "Clear Internet connection automatically".
Enter the interval in seconds after which an idle connection is to be cleared automatically. As a final step, click "Apply".
Now the Internet connection will be cleared automatically whenever the connected computers do not request data from the Internet for the specified period.

Note: When a connection to the Internet has been cleared, you cannot be reached by telephone over the Internet.

If your DSL rate is not charged according to online time, select the option "Maintain Internet connection permanently". Then FRITZ!Box is always connected with the Internet. If your Internet Service Provider clears the connection at regular intervals, for instance every 24 hours, FRITZ!Box restores the connection immediately.

If the Internet Service Provider clears the connection at an inconvenient time, you can re-schedule this event for a more convenient period.
To do this, enable the option "Move disconnection by provider to between". Then select the period of time from the list.

Note: This option is only available if the expert view has been enabled in the "System / Expert Mode" menu.

Attention: If you have changed the settings for Internet access, click the "Apply" button to implement them. Otherwise all changes will be discarded.

The computers connected to FRITZ!Box cannot be reached from the Internet when the default settings are enabled.
Via the menu command "Port forwarding" you can grant Internet users restricted access to connected computers.
