   - USB port for network printers and storage media
The new FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 takes center stage in AVM's CeBIT
presentation. The new flagship of the AVM line combines a VoIP PBX, a
WLAN router and an ADSL modem in one. And it permits phone calls,
whether over the Internet (VoIP) or over the fixed line, even while
the computer is off. All its WLAN connections are encrypted out of
the box using the secure WPA standard. The new FRITZ!Box can be seen
in action for the first time together with the new FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick. Under the current Microsoft operating system Windows XP SP2,
the Stick's installation takes place automatically, with no CD.
Moreover, Stick & Surf function developed by AVM gives computers a
secure wireless connection to the FRITZ!Box, with no user
configuration.
Online in Just Three Steps-Ready for ADSL2+
The new flagship of the FRITZ!Box line has the many award-winning
details of its predecessors, and like them features radically
simplified set-up and operation. Moreover, through its four Ethernet
ports the FRITZ!Box connects not only PCs, but also networking
devices such as game consoles to the Internet. And it's here to stay
with support for ADSL2+, which currently offers throughput rates of
up to 16 Mbit/s.
New, more compact FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
The new FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is still handier than its
predecessor, weighing in at just 10 grams and measuring just 53 mm
long. Thanks to Stick & Surf 2, the new AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
installs itself in Windows XP with Service Pack 2: no driver CD is
necessary with this operating system. Furthermore, the Stick's
802.11g++ turbo mode, at 125 Mbit/s, increases the user data rate by
about 35 percent over the 802.11g standard. The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
is also downwardly compatible with 802.11g and b, while providing
maximum security through WPA2, WPA, and WEP encryption. And with AVM
Stick & Surf, it's child's play to set up a secure wireless LAN using
a FRITZ!Box WLAN with a USB accessory port. The configuration and
security settings, including the network key and encryption type, are
automatically transferred from the FRITZ!Box to the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick.
Internet Telephony with ISDN Convenience-Premium Wireless LAN
   Features
The new FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 allows up to three analog and
eight ISDN extensions to dial both Internet and landline calls. In
addition to excellent voice fidelity, using ISDN terminal equipment
also permits the use of ISDN convenience features such as parallel
calls, call waiting, call forwarding, Caller ID, spontaneous dialing,
and three-party calls in Internet telephony. FRITZ!Box is the only
WLAN router to provide security out of the box with factory-activated
WPA encryption. Furthermore, the wireless LAN can be disabled by a
separate overnight configuration, and by a hardware switch on the
back of the FRITZ!Box. In addition to WPA, connections can also be
encrypted with WPA2 (802.11i) and WEP. And the 802.11g++ turbo mode
boosts the net throughput by about 35 percent to 125 Mbit/s, compared
with the 802.11g wireless standard's 54 Mbit/s. 802.11b (11 Mbit/s)
is also supported.
More Connectivity Options with New USB Host Port
The top FRITZ!Box's USB host port paves the way for new LAN
applications. A memory stick, a printer or a disk drive connected to
the new FRITZ!Box can be used from all computers in the network. All
the computers connected to FRITZ!Box are networked together. Here the
router's built-in DHCP server saves users the trouble of configuring
network settings, and assigns IP addresses automatically.
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 in Stores Now
The new top-of-the-line FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 is available from
dealers now. The suggested retail price for FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170
is EUR249 (incl. VAT). The new FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick will go on sale
during the second quarter of 2006 for EUR49 (incl. VAT). In addition
to Windows XP, the Stick also supports the operating systems Windows
XP x64 Edition, and Windows 2000, Me and 98SE. As usual, AVM provides
its five-year warranty on both products. Support is free, and new
features are supplied as they are developed by free firmware update.
