Introduction
Fritz!Box is a very powerful DSL Wireless Router with several unique features:
Acts as a private telephone exchange for several telephones. Supports VOIP Internet Telephony from any attached phone. Supports IEEE 802.11g++ for added range and speed. Excellent DSL throughput, even at high bit rates. Traffic Shaping allocates DSL bandwidth fairly amongst applications. Functionality can be extended by starting programs on a USB stick.
NAT32 Builds 1046 and later have Fritz!Box control and configuration support.
Tips and Tricks
When using a phone with the Fritz!Box, you may hear a continuous buzzing noise when you try to make a call. This is mains hum caused by an earth loop of some sort. To get rid of it, substitute a normal CAT5 unshielded twisted pair Ethernet cable for the red shielded cable that came with the box.
To turn on the Telnet Server in the Fritzbox, pick up your phone and then type: #96*7*
Click to run the Windows Telnet Client.
To start the Telnet Server when your Fritz!Box boots, enter the following commands: echo '#!/bin/sh'>/var/rc.user echo '/usr/sbin/telnetd -l /sbin/ar7login'>>/var/rc.user cat /var/rc.user > /var/flash/debug.cfg
The sequence #96*8* turns off the Telnet Server.
