4.2 FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Modem
For the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box Fon to be able
to establish their Internet connections themselves and use
the FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL modem, two prerequisites must
be fulfilled:
z FRITZ!Box Fon is configured as a DSL modem.
z An Internet connection must be configured on each
computer, using the Internet access software and the
account information from an Internet Service Provider.
If your Internet Service Provider supplies its own access soft-
ware, you can use this software for your computers.
It is generally not permitted to establish more than one
Internet connection at a time using the same account
information from an Internet Service Provider.
A separate Internet connection must be set up on each com-
puter if all connected computers are to be allowed Internet
access at the same time. This means that you need separate
account information for each computer. Each computer then
establishes its own Internet connection, subject to its own
charges.
If you connected multiple computers with FRITZ!Box Fon and
would like to allow Internet access for all of them, it is advis-
able to operate FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL router.
Configuring FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Modem
1. Open the FRITZ!Box Fon user interface and select the
“Internet / Account Information” menu.
2. Disable the setting “Use one Internet connection for all
computers (router)”.
3. Click the “Apply” button to transmit the setting to the
FRITZ!Box Fon.
Now the FRITZ!Box Fon can be used as a DSL modem by all of
the computers connected to it.
