IPv4 Address in the FRITZ!Box

If you would like to change the IPv4 address, please read
through the following sections.
When Does It Make Sense to Change the IPv4 Address?
You should change the IPv4 address of the FRITZ!Box if the
following apply to your network:
•
You have an existing local IPv4 network, one subnet with
several computers.
•
Fixed IPv4 addresses are registered in the network set-
tings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not
permitted to change these addresses.
•
You want to connect the FRITZ!Box to the local IPv4 net-
work in order to make the FRITZ!Box features available to
all of the computers in the IPv4 network.
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—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 IPv4
address from the IP address range of the DHCP server.
