Opening the FRITZ!Box user interface

You can use fritz.box or http://169.254.1.1 to easily access the FRITZ!Box user interface with a browser. ✔ 

You can easily open the user interface on all computers, smartphones, or tablets connected to the FRITZ!Box (for example over Wi-Fi) by entering the address http://fritz.box in a web browser. Then you can configure all of the FRITZ!Box functions and view detailed information about the product, your access, and connections in the user interface.

You do not have to set up the FRITZ!Box to open the user interface. Internet access is also not required.

Please note:

  • You can either use fritz.box or the fallback IP address http://169.254.1.1 to open the user interface. In addition, you can use the FRITZ!Box's local IP address (http://192.168.178.1 in the factory settings) to access it.
  • Devices using the guest access / hotspot are denied access to the user interface.
  • If you connected two FRITZ!Boxes with each other, you can use the Mesh Overview of the first FRITZ!Box (Mesh Master) to easily open the user interface of the second FRITZ!Box (Mesh Repeater). You can also use the Mesh Overview of the Mesh Master to open the user interfaces of all the Mesh Repeaters (FRITZ!Repeaters and FRITZ!Powerline devices) in the home network.
    Clicking on the device name opens the user interface of the second FRITZ!Box
