You want to connect the FRITZ!Box to the local IP net-
work in order to make the FRITZ!Box features avail-
able 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
reserved for internal purposes.
IP addresses from this network may not be assigned to the
FRITZ!Box.

DHCP Server
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 server 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
address from the IP address range of the DHCP server.
Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures
that all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are
located in the same IP network.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
The computers can receive their IP addresses from the
DHCP server only if the setting “Obtain an IP address au-
tomatically
”
is enabled in the their IP settings. For more
information, see the section “Obtaining an IP Address Au-
tomatically” from page 115.
