FRITZ!Box on a Mac
AVM FRITZ!Box routers (incl. 1&1 HomeServer) · Routers & Firewalls
AVM FRITZ!Box routers, sold directly and by many providers (1&1 HomeServer, Vodafone and others). FrontierStack recognises them by name and MAC address, opens the web UI at http://fritz.box/, and keeps their built-in phone system from being mistaken for a VoIP PBX. Turn on Monitor the internet connection over UPnP in the device pane and FrontierStack asks the router, on every Alerts sweep, whether its connection is up, its WAN address and its link state: nothing is signed in to or changed. It alerts when a connection that has been up drops or the WAN link goes down, and points out double NAT and carrier-grade NAT. UPnP must be on in the router. With the FRITZ!Box user and password, FrontierStack also uses AVM's TR-064 interface over HTTPS with a digest login: model, firmware and uptime, Restart, Reconnect Internet, the Wi-Fi networks (guest network included) and port forwards, and the FRITZ!Box becomes a real target in Change Wi-Fi Password. The password syncs both ways with a paired KeyRotate.
