Mobile telephone network

If you have a USB modem or a USB stick for broadband Internet access (UMTS/HSDPA), then you can use your mobile telephone here to configure and enable the Internet connection.

Enable Mobile Communications

Your FRITZ!Box can establish the Internet connection using a USB stick connected to the USB port. In order to configure the Internet connection using the USB stick, carry out the following steps:

  1. Check the option "Enable Mobile Communications".
  2. Enter the PIN of your USB stick SIM card.
  3. Select your mobile network operator from the list and indicate whether the Internet connection should be cleared automatically or maintained permanently.
    If your mobile network operator is not included in the list, select the "Other operator" entry and enter the dialing information you received from your mobile network operator.
  4. Click the "Apply" button.

This concludes the configuration of the FRITZ!Box Internet connection via the mobile telephone.

Mobile Network Availability

This area presents information about the availability of your mobile communications network. Besides connection quality, the maximum and current data throughput, the status and the network operator are displayed. Click the "Refresh" button to update the values in this area.

Clear Internet connection automatically

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.
Select the option "Hang up after ... seconds" and enter the time after which an idle connection is to be cleared automatically. 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 rate is not charged according to online time, select the option "Maintain Internet connection permanently". Then the 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.
