Step 1

• Ensure that your computer is connected to your FRITZ!Box and you have access to the internet.
• Open your preferred web browser, e.g., Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.
• Enter the following address into the address bar and then hit Enter on your keyboard:
  • http://192.168.178.1

Step 3

• The FRITZ!Box will now ask how it is connected to your telephone line:
  • If you have a standard ADSL service and regular phone line:

  • If you have a Naked ADSL, FTTH, or NBN service:
    select DSL line without a fixed-network line. Select this option also if you don't intend to use a standard fixed-line (PSTN) service.
