The FRITZ!Box Fon WLANis equipped with its own DHCP serv-
er. The DHCP server is enabled by default in the factory set-
tings. Every time the operating system on a computer con-
nected with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is started, it is assigned
an IP address by the DHCP server.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.

DHCP server
The IP address, the corresponding subnet mask and the acti-
vated DHCP server automatically yield the following values:
Network address of the subnet
Entire IP address pool for the
computers
Address pool of the DHCP server: 192.168.178.20 - 200
In every subnet of the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN, the addresses 20
through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP ad-
dress are reserved for the DHCP server.
Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that
all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN
are located in a single subnet.
The computers can receive their IP addresses from the DHCP
server only if the setting "Obtain an IP address automatical-
ly" is enabled in the their IP settings. For more information,
see the section "IP Settings" from page 85.
