Mobile Communications

Internet / Mobile Network

The FRITZ!Box can also make the internet connection available via a mobile network connection. The mobile network connection can be established with the following mobile communications devices:

  • via a USB mobile communications dongle in modem operation with LTE/UMTS/HSPA support
  • by a mobile communications dongle in USB tethering mode
  • by a smartphone in USB tethering mode (only smartphones with Android 4.1 or higher)

Note:The "Internet / Mobile Communications" menu is visible in the user interface of the FRITZ!Box only when a mobile communications device is inserted in a USB port on the FRITZ!Box.

Click on the "Apply" button to save your settings. If you leave the page without saving, all of your changes will be discarded.

If the FRITZ!Box connects to the internet over the mobile communications network, it depends on the mobile carrier whether the following FRITZ!Box functions can be used:
- incoming VPN connections
- MyFRITZ!
- other connections requiring a public IP address

Internet Telephony via the Mobile Internet Connection

If you registered internet telephone numbers in the FRITZ!Box "Telephony / Telephone Numbers / Telephone Numbers" menu, then you can use the internet telephone numbers via the mobile network connection.
