Reserved IP Addresses
The entire IP network 192.168.180.0 in the FRITZ!Box is re-
served for internal purposes.
IPv4 addresses from this network may
not
be assigned to the
FRITZ!Box.
DHCP Server for IPv4
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCP server for the
IPv4 network. The DHCP server is enabled by default in the
factory settings. The following range of IP addresses is re-
served for the DHCP server in the factory settings:
192.168.178.20 – 192168178200
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 IPv4
address from the IP address range of the DHCP server.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
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.
The computers can receive their IPv4 addresses from the
DHCP server only if the setting “Obtain an IPv4 address auto-
matically” is enabled in the their IP settings. For more infor-
mation, see the chapter
