Configuring other applications
Applications such as file sharing software and online games establish many simultaneous internet
connections. Although the "Traffic Shaping" function of the FRITZ!Box ensures that voice data is prioritized
and evenly transmitted, for technical reasons it can only compensate for disturbances caused by these
applications to a limited extent. This is why many applications offer the following setting options:
1. Decrease the number of simultaneous connections allowed by the application.
2. Reduce the maximum throughput available in the application..
3. If you still experience problems or the application does not allow you to make these adjustments,
configure the application as a background application in the FRITZ!Box.
The FRITZ!Box's echo compensation and traffic shaping functions guarantee high voice quality. However,
if you still experience an echo, delays or short dropouts, they are caused by the telephone, your internet
service provider or telephony provider, and cannot be influenced by the FRITZ!Box.
