When Does It Make Sense to Change the IP Address?
You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box if the fol-
lowing apply to your network:
•
You have an existing local IP network, one subnet with
several computers.
•
Fixed IP addresses are registered in the network settings
of the computer, and you do not want to or are not per-
mitted to change these addresses.
•
You want to connect the FRITZ!Box to the local IP network
in order to make the FRITZ!Box features available to all of
the computers in the IP network.
Reserved IP Addresses
The entire IP network 192.168.180.0 in the FRITZ!Box is re-
served for internal purposes.
IP addresses from this network may
not
be assigned to the
FRITZ!Box.
DHCP Server of the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCP server. The
DHCP server is enabled by default in the factory settings. The
following range of IP addresses is reserved for the DHCP serv-
er in the factory settings:
192.168.178.20 - 192.168.178.200
This IP address can be changed as needed.
Every time the operating system on a computer connected
with FRITZ!Box is started, the DHCP server assigns it an IP ad-
dress from the IP address range of the DHCP server.
