Fritz!Box 7330, Fritz!OS Online-Zähler / Online-Counter does not work because Fritz!Box does not have the a correct time over UMTS / 3G

As a backup for my Internet Connection, I have a 3G UMTS USB-Stick connected to my Fritz!Box 7330. Since my plan has only 5GB high Speed volume included, i wanted to use the built in "Online-Zähler" (Online-Counter). But on the corresponding page in Fritz!OS 6.21 UI the box told me, the counter does not work without the current time known to the box. Usually the box gets the time when connected to the internet. For some (unknown) reason, this did not work on my Box over 3G/UMTS.

How-I-fixed-it:
I sent an E-Mail to AVM support and they told me how to manually set the time on the Fritz!Box using a phone connected on the FON port or via DECT:

The support document is in German. The key fact in English Translation:

 On the phone, dial #83*[HHmmTTMMJJJJ]* replacing the HHmmTTMMJJJJ with the current time and date. Hang up after 3 seconds.

In German:
Online-Zähler in Fritz!OS 6.21 auf Fritz!Box 7330 funktioniert nicht aufgrund der Fehlermeldung "FRITZ!Box verfügt über keine gültige Uhrzeit"

Computer / Laptop / Tablet / Smartphone does not connect to AVM FritzBox WLAN/WiFi Repeater. It always connects to WiFi Router with slow speed because of different passwords

I set up a AVN FritzBox 7272 to act as repeater for the WiFi of my AVM FirtzBox 7330 Router. The base router showed the repeater as connected. But my devices did not automatically Switch their WiFi to the repeater but stayed connected to the base at very low speed.

How-I-fixed-it:
I found out, that in the WiFi security settings of the repeater my network had a different password than the base WiFi. Setting it to the same Password as on the base box, devices now connected to the fastet Connection available.

German/Deutsch:
FritzBox als Repeater eingerichtet, aber Geräte verbinden sich nur mit langsamer Basisstation.

Ich habe eine Fritz!Box 7272 als WLAN Repeater für das WiFi meiner Fritz!Box 7330 eingerichtet, aber meine Geräte bleiben immer mit der Basisstation verbunden, obwohl der signalstärkere Repeater in der Nähe ist.

How-I-fixed-it:
Die Lösung habe ich hier gefunden:

Die WLAN's in Basis und Repeater müssen die gleiche SSID, den gleichen Funkkanal und das gleiche WLAN-Passwort haben. Dann verbinden sich die Geräte automatisch mit der signalstärksten Station.
