Fritz!Box is a series of residential gateway devices produced by the German company AVM GmbH. In 2010 it was estimated the series had a market share of 68% of the digital subscriber line (DSL) consumer equipment in Germany.[1]
Functionality
There are several Fritz!Box models available, but the most popular are the ones that combine DSL and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) VoIP. Functionality includes:
- a built-in ADSL modem (most models), or an ADSL/VDSL modem (7xxx series), or a cable modem (6xxx series), or an LTE modem (6xxx series).
- a built-in LAN-WAN router.
- most models also have a built-in network switch. Older models support 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet while the newer models additionally support Gbit (1000 Mbit/s) Ethernet.
- models with "WLAN" in their product designations can also serve as a wireless access point.
- all 'WLAN' models support 2.4 GHz band IEEE 802.11b (11 Mbit/s) connections. Additionally, all 'WLAN' models since 2003 also support the 2.4 GHz 802.11g (54 Mbit/s) standard.
- several newer models also support the 5 GHz IEEE 802.11a (54 Mbit/s) and 2.4 GHz/5 GHz IEEE 802.11n (54 Mbit/s—300 Mbit/s) standards. The x270 (7270, 3270) models can be configured for either 2.4 GHz b/g/n or 5 GHz a/n, while the x390 (7390, 3390) models have two transceivers and so can be configured to handle both bands simultaneously.
- models with "Fon" in their product designations also support telephones
- they have a PABX for two ISDN and/or analog phones. Several newer models (Fritz!Box 7270, 7340, 7390, 6360, 6840) also have a DECT base station for cordless phones. These models also have an integrated digital answering machine.
- they support Internet telephony (Voice over IP, 'VoIP') connections via SIP. A built-in analog telephony adapter emulates normal ISDN/phone connections for the attached phones.
- most models since 2006 also have a USB port to connect a harddrive, memorystick or printer for local file or printer sharing. The USB port may also be used to connect a second modem, e.g. for UMTS/3GSM/HSPA. Also most models with a current firmware include a DLNA/UPnP compliant server.
Operating system
All Fritz!Box devices run Fritz!OS, which is a heavily customised Linux distribution. User interaction is through a web-interface via a browser. This allows non-technical users to change settings while preventing syntax errors that would make the application fail.
Undocumented features
- Packet trace can be enabled and configured to record packets in Wireshark format by browsing to the URL "http://fritz.box/html/capture.html" (replacing the name as required).
- All Call Record automatically with the extension described in fritzcap: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion v2.0.
Versions
Most Fritz!Box devices with integrated DSL modem come in three versions:
- A version for the German market, using ISDN for voice, with a German-language interface
- A version for Austria and Switzerland with a German-language interface
- An international version with an English-language interface and support for POTS and ISDN for voice
While the latter two versions support both the most common ADSL Annex A POTS and ADSL Annex B ISDN, the German version offers hardware support for Annex B with additional support for Annex J in newer models. There have been attempts to enable Annex A POTS on the German version hardware using software hacks; however, hacked routers are reported not to offer stability on lines with weaker signal (i.e., in case of longer distances from DSLAM).
