Creating a MyFRITZ! account and setting it up in the FRITZ!Box

MyFRITZ! keeps you informed about the status of your FRITZ! products, available updates and other news on a regular basis, and provides secure access to your FRITZ!Box via the internet. This way you can do the following with your smartphone, tablet or computer from anywhere in the world at any time:

  • check the FRITZ!Box's call list and listen to voice messages recorded by the answering machine.
  • access FRITZ!NAS to upload and download files, or play multimedia content.
  • check the status information and change settings in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  • control smart home devices in the FRITZ!Box home network (for example FRITZ!DECT 200) and check the power consumption of the devices connected to them.

Your personal data is stored exclusively in the FRITZ!Box at all times and is not transferred to MyFRITZ!Net or to any other service or provider.

To use MyFRITZ!, you only need to create a personal MyFRITZ! account and set it up in your FRITZ!Box. Please take note of the MyFRITZ! terms and conditions of use.
