Saving Energy with FRITZ!Box
17 Saving Energy with FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box combines a variety of devices in one device: LTE mo-
dem, 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 func-
tions. The FRITZ!Box also offers various settings for energy-saving op-
eration.
17.1 Saving Energy with the WLAN Radio Network
You can reduce the power consumption of the WLAN radio
network by
• setting up night service for the WLAN radio network (see
page 53).
• turning off the WLAN radio network with the WLAN but-
ton whenever no more WLAN devices are registered on
the FRITZ!Box.
• enabling the setting “Automatically reduce transmitter
power to the level actually needed”. This setting is con-
figured in the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu on the
FRITZ!Box user interface.
17.2 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 ener-
gy-saving function.
