Upon delivery, the network settings of the FRITZ!Box Fon
WLAN are preconfigured as follows:
Factory Settings
All computers are located in the same IP net-
work
IP address
Subnet mask
DHCP server
According to these settings, all computers connected with
the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN are located in the same subnetwork.
You can change any of these settings, but should only do so
if you are well-versed in network settings. If you do not have
much experience in setting up networks, please read this
chapter in full.
The "Basics" section explains terms and concepts hav-
ing to do with IP networks.
The sections "IP Address", "DHCP Server" and "Subnet-
work" explain when it may make sense to change the
preconfigured network settings, what the effects of
these changes are, and how to make the changes.
What Is IP?
IP is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol.
The IP Internet Protocol is the most important basic protocol
for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the
Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection;
in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender
to the recipient without previous consultation. The address-
es of the recipient and the sender in the data packets are
given as IP addresses.
