Using Energy-Saving Functions of the FRITZ!Box
8.2 Using Energy-Saving Functions of the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box combines a variety of devices in one device: cable modem, WLAN router, media server, answering machine,
fax machine and DECT base station for cordless telephones.
This means that you generally use much less power with the
FRITZ!Box than you would with several separate devices.
What is more, the FRITZ!Box saves energy by reducing processing power on standby and lowering the power consumption of idle functions. The FRITZ!Box also offers various settings for energy-saving operation.
The current energy consumption of the total FRITZ!Box system
is displayed on the “Overview” page. From there, click with
the mouse to view the “Energy Monitor”, which displays details on the energy consumption.
Energy-Efficient Operation of the Wireless LAN Radio
Network
The WLAN module of the FRITZ!Box works in “Green AP
mode”. This means it is especially energy-efficient: As soon
as no more wireless LAN devices are connected with the
FRITZ!Box, the energy consumption of the WLAN module is
automatically reduced to a minimum. “Green AP” operation
has no effect on the accessibility of the wireless network for
wireless LAN devices, since the new registration of a wireless
LAN device automatically ends the mode, thus restoring full
wireless LAN functionality to the FRITZ!Box.
You can further reduce the power consumption of the wireless
radio network by configuring the following settings:
• set up a schedule for the wireless radio network in the
“WLAN / Schedule” menu; see page 85
• turn off the wireless radio network whenever no more
wireless LAN devices are registered with the FRITZ!Box;
see page 86.
FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable 29
Using Energy-Saving Functions of the FRITZ!Box
Enabling Energy-Saving Mode for USB Hard Drives
In the FRITZ!Box you can enable an energy-saving function for
USB hard drives connected to the FRITZ!Box. When the energy-saving function is enabled, connected USB hard drives will
be switched off when they are idle—as long as the hard drives
support the energy-saving function.
Enable the energy-saving function in the “Home Network /
USB Devices” menu in the FRITZ!Box user interface. You can
also test here wether your USB hard disk supports the energysaving function.
Saving Energy at the LAN Ports
For energy-efficient use of your gigabit LAN ports you can
specify for each individual LAN port whether it should always
operate with full power (power mode) or with reduced energy
consumption (green mode). With green mode you can reduce
the power consumption of the FRITZ!Box to the level necessary for your applications.
The LAN ports can be configured in the advanced view of the
FRITZ!Box user interface; see page 27. In the “Home Network
/ Network / Network Settings” menu you can select from
among the following operating modes in the “LAN Settings”
area:
operating mode Functionality and Power Consumption
Power Mode In this setting LAN connections are estab-
lished with a maximum throughput of
1Gbit/s.
Higher power consumption than in green
mode if the LAN port is used.
Green Mode As needed, the FRITZ!Box establishes LAN
connections with a data throughput rate of
100 Mbit/s.
Lower power consumption than for the “Power
Mode” setting.

Operating Impressions, Questions and Answers:
Следуя инструкциям по настройке, необходимо выполнить только один раз. После завершения первоначальной настройки вам не нужно будет выполнять те же самые действия в любое время. Ваше соединение будет работать автоматически *в любое время! Эти инструкции показывают меню на английском языке. Так как этот маршрутизатор очень популярен в Германии, здесь в квадратных скобках приведены соответствующие немецкие термины.
* Инструкции основаны на кабеле FRITZ!Box 6490.
1. Открытая страница администрирования маршрутизаторов. Обычно http://192.168.178.1
2. Введите свой пароль, если он у вас есть. Пароль по умолчанию напечатан на этикетке под маршрутизатором.
3. Убедитесь, что у вас активирован «Расширенный» вид [Эрвайтер]. Текущая настройка находится в нижней левой части экрана: «Вид»: Дополнительно» [Ansicht: Erweitert]. Если на экране написано «Вид: Стандартный» Вы можете нажать на слово «Стандартный», чтобы переключиться в «Расширенный» режим. Альтернативно можно нажать на меню гамбургеров в правом верхнем углу и затем активировать «Расширенный вид» [Arweiterte Ansicht].
4. Нажмите на «Интернет» слева, «Тип подключения» [Zugangsart], а затем перейдите на вкладку «DNS-сервер».
5. В разделе «Серверы DNSv4» нажмите «Использовать другие серверы DNSv4» [Andere DNSv4-Server verwenden] и заполните оба поля «Сервер DNS» IP-адресами прокси-сервера Smart DNS Proxy из списка.
Список IP-адресов наших DNS-серверов можно найти в нашем списке DNS-серверов здесь:
https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/Servers
Используйте ближайшие к вашему физическому местоположению DNS-серверы. Выберите ближайший к вашему физическому местоположению сервер в качестве основного. Затем выберите 2-й ближайший сервер в вашем физическом местоположении в качестве Вторичного сервера.
В нашем примере мы выбрали Германию: 54.93.173.183 и Великобританию: 35.178.60.174 6. нажмите «Применить» [Übernehmen].
7. Нажмите кнопку «Система» слева, «Резервное копирование» [Sicherung], а затем нажмите на вкладку «Перезагрузка» [Neustart].
8. Нажмите кнопку «Перезапустить» [Neu starten]. Теперь маршрутизатор перезагрузится, обратите внимание, что все активные соединения с Интернетом и телефоном будут потеряны до тех пор, пока маршрутизатор не перезагрузится (может занять около 5 минут).
* Помните, что всякий раз, когда IP-адрес вашего ПК/маршрутизатора меняется, наш сервис перестает работать на вас. Вам необходимо будет войти в систему Smart DNS Proxy и обновить свой IP-адрес. Таким образом, наша система проверит ваш IP-адрес и добавит ваш новый IP-адрес в нашу базу данных. После этого вы сможете продолжать пользоваться нашим сервисом. Если вы настраиваете систему в первый раз, мы также предлагаем вам войти с вашего компьютера на наш сайт из той же проводной/беспроводной сети, чтобы показать нашей системе ваш IP-адрес.
Для автоматизации этого процесса, пожалуйста, выполните следующие дополнительные шаги:
9. После перезагрузки маршрутизатора снова войдите в свой роутер, как описано выше в разделах 1 и 2.
10. Если Вы не настроили учетную запись MyFritz!, сделайте это сейчас и убедитесь, что Ваш маршрутизатор подключен к ней. Вы можете сделать это здесь: https://sso.myfritz.net/.
11. Нажмите на «Интернет» слева, «MyFRITZ!Account» [MyFRITZ!-Konto].
12. Если Ваша учетная запись MyFritz! была настроена правильно, Ваш индивидуальный адрес теперь можно найти в строке «Ваш адрес MyFRITZ!». Выберите всю запись и скопируйте ее.
например «5gljskt56f5gestt.myfritz.net» — этот код для Вас будет другим. Не используйте версию, которая начинается с «https://».
14: Зайдите на страницу MyAccount и проверьте, есть ли у вас 4 зеленых галочки. Если нет, проверьте, что вы отключили IPv6 на вашем компьютере, и что вы перезагрузили маршрутизатор и компьютер.
Если вы установили автоматическую настройку DNS, это подтверждается внизу:
https://www.smartdnsproxy.com/MyAccount
С вами покончено! 
Внимание
* Помните, что всякий раз, когда IP-адрес вашего ПК/маршрутизатора меняется, наш сервис перестает работать на вас. Вам необходимо будет LOG INTO Smart DNS Proxy и UPDATE ваш IP-адрес, чтобы наша система могла проверить ваш IP-адрес и добавить ваш новый IP-адрес в нашу базу данных. После этого вы сможете продолжать пользоваться нашим сервисом. Если вы настраиваетесь в первый раз, мы также предлагаем вам войти с вашего компьютера на наш сайт из той же проводной/беспроводной сети, чтобы показать нашу систему ваш IP-адрес и активировать его в вашем аккаунте.
