How to open the FRITZ!Box user interface

Connect a computer, phone or tablet to the FRITZ!Box by cable or Wi-Fi. Guest access cannot open the settings.
Type the full address http://fritz.box in the address bar. Without “http://” some browsers start a web search instead.
If that fails, try http://192.168.178.1, or the fallback http://169.254.1.1.
Enter the FRITZ!Box password. After 10 minutes without clicking, the page asks for it again.

Example router label: the web address, username and admin password are the lines you need to log in, and they are different from the Wi-Fi name and password — Illustration only, not a photo of a real product. The login details are usually on a label under the router.

If the FRITZ!Box page will not open

fritz.box shows a web search: Type the full address with http://: http://fritz.box.
It does not open from the guest Wi-Fi: AVM does not allow the guest access or hotspot to open the user interface. Connect to the main network.
I forgot the password: AVM offers two ways: the “Forgot Password” push service, which emails you an access link, or a factory reset. After a reset the label password works again, and your settings are deleted.
Two FRITZ!Boxes are connected: Use the IP address of the second FRITZ!Box, or open it from the mesh overview of the first.

How to keep your router secure

Change the default admin password and use a long one that you do not use anywhere else.
Keep the router firmware up to date.
Turn off remote management unless you really need it.
Use WPA2 or WPA3 for Wi-Fi.
