Network Settings in the FRITZ!Box
There is an entry in the network overview for each user and
each network device. The columns have the following mean-
ings:
Icon
Name
IP Address
Connection
Properties
Always Assigning the Same IP Address
The editing mode for network devices includes the setting
"Always assign this network device the same IP address".
When this setting is enabled for a network device, the DHCP
server of the FRITZ!Box will always assign the same IP address
to this device each time the connection is established.
Each name is preceded by a green LED if the de-
vice is actively connected with the FRITZ!Box, but
currently not using the Internet connection. Any
device using the Internet connection appears with
a green-blue globe icon in front of its name.
This column displays the name under which the
user or the network device is known to the
FRITZ!Box. The names of network devices can be
changed by clicking the button to edit the entry.
For network devices, also displayed is the IP ad-
dress with which the device is integrated into the
FRITZ!Box network.
The WLAN icon is displayed for wireless connec-
tions.
This column indicates whether port forwarding or
child protection is enabled for the respective user
or network device.
Button for editing an entry
The button opens the entry in editing mode. This
view displays information about the network de-
vice, for instance on child protection or port for-
warding settings. The name of the device in the
FRITZ!Box can be changed here.
Button for deleting the entry
Users or network devices that do not have an ac-
tive connection to the FRITZ!Box can be deleted
from the network overview by clicking this button.
