The FRITZ!Box Home Network
The FRITZ!Box connects your network devices, USB devices and stor-
age in what we call a FRITZ!Box home network. In the home network
the FRITZ!Box makes data like images, music and videos available to
all connected users and allows them to share a printer.
Network Devices
Network devices include, for instance, computers, game con-
soles and smartphones that are connected with the FRITZ!Box
via a network cable connection or via WLAN.
All network devices can access each other's folders released
for sharing, and share connected USB devices and available
memory.
If you would like to learn more about the possibilities of net-
work devices in your FRITZ!Box home network, continue read-
ing in the chapter

vices, and flash memory on the USB ports of the FRITZ!Box.

ously by all network devices of your FRITZ!Box home network.

vices in your home network and how to use them securely,
