Connecting the Computer(s)

If you would like to surf the web using the FRITZ!Box or to 
open the FRITZ!Box user interface, then you must connect 
a computer with the FRITZ!Box.

A computer can be connected with the FRITZ!Box in two 
different ways:

via a LAN port

wirelessly via WLAN

Connection

Scenarios

Note the following when connecting computers to the 
FRITZ!Box:

One

 computer can be connected to the FRITZ!Box by 

only 

one 

of these means.

At each of the network ports of the FRITZ!Box, a com-
puter can be connected directly or via a hub/switch.

Using WLAN you can connect multiple computers 
with the FRITZ!Box at the same time.

The way a computer is connected to the FRITZ!Box is 
the same regardless of the operating system on the 
computer.

All of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box 
constitute a network.

3.3

Connecting Computers to the LAN Port

If you would like to connect a computer to the LAN port of 
the FRITZ!Box, make sure the computer is equipped with a 
LAN port (network adapter). A LAN port is usually desig-
nated by the icon at left or labeled “LAN”.
