If you want to be online and without interruption, be it for Internet telephony, data transfers, remote control, multimedia streaming or similar, irregular interruptions of the DSL connection can not be used. And even with buyers of current Ubisoft games, where an interruption of the Internet connection for an interruption of the game ensures, even only individual disturbances intolerable. On the Links Home page, click “System”, you will immediately see all messages. Whether “PPPoE error”, “No DSL synchronization” or other messages – happens too often, the contact to the provider should be included. Many vendors guarantee an availability of 99% per year – but 365 days means that you can be offline for almost four days without being able to file a more comprehensive complaint.
Less connection breaks
However, you are not necessarily dependent on the provider for smaller failures - the Fritz! Box allows you to secure the connection even if an optimization is always associated with some speed loss. On the homepage, click on "DSL" or in the side menu on "Internet / DSL information", you can see in the overview how fast you are traveling with the Fritz! Box - that you the advertised 16 MBit / s in practice Virtually never reach, should be clear. Finally, under "Immunity" you will find several setting options, ranging from "maximum stability" to "maximum performance". For problems with connection breaks, just help: Experiment with the settings. While the data rate "only" dropped to around 11 MBit / s with our test line - 16 MBit / s nominal, maximum 12 MBit / s - via the controllers "Probing Interference Rate" and "Detection of Radio Interference (RFI)" Of the "impulse noise immunity" for a data rate of less than 4 MBit / s. You should therefore first change the first-mentioned parameters before venturing into the third parameter. Keep in mind the "statistics", but especially the number of errors in the "DSL" tab. Even if there is one or the other "non-recoverable error", only if the number of errors is too high, the data rate after the "optimization" should be too low or generally hardly any improvement, you get a message with the provider Not around.
Intended termination of the connection: child protection
But what can also help: In one of the first models of the 7270, we had identified thermal problems as the cause of numerous problems - but this statement can not be met for every 7270 or another model. However, consider whether you do not switch off the WLAN at night for at least half an hour via "Overview / Comfort functions / Night switching" (or "System / Night switching") - or completely if you do not use it anyway. Under "WLAN / radio channel", you can also set a checkmark in "Reduce transmission power automatically to the actual demand" and also make appropriate optimizations in the "DECT" settings. These measures have reduced the power consumption of our model and reduced heat generation. The problems with the connection breaks also seemed to have improved.
A connection termination can, of course, also be desired: if one wants to keep the sprouts from excessive Internet usage. Under "Internet / Child Protection", AVM has installed an appropriate option. If you activate a checkmark in "Child protection", all of the Fritz! Box known network devices are displayed. If you click on the "Edit" button next to the child computer, you can switch on the child safety device for this computer and, while holding down the left mouse button, select the period during which Internet usage is permitted. Time periods can be changed or deleted in the same way. In addition, you can set the maximum time spent on the Internet via "maximum hours" - here, however, the usefulness is questionable, since background activities such as Windows and automatic software updates or an unused but still online connected messenger for online traffic Even if the child is not "actively" surfing the net. In addition, child safety is not too safe because AVM does not use the address of the network adapter to identify the computer. The installation of special software in may therefore be better depending on the IT skills of the next generation - in addition to the open dialogue on the benefits and risks of the Internet.
