Selecting a FRITZ!Box

  1. On your computer, double-click the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection symbol in the notification area of the Windows taskbar (Systray).
  2. Use the arrow keys above the middle section of the USB remote connection to switch between the FRITZ!Boxes.

    Note:The arrows are only displayed if there are several FRITZ!Boxes in the home network with the USB remote connection enabled.
