6.1 DHCP Server
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is equipped with its own DHCP server. In
the factory settings, the DHCP server and the setting “All
computers are located in the same IP network” are enabled
by default. Every time a computer connected with FRITZ!Box
Fon WLAN is restarted, it is assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server.
The computers can receive their IP addresses from the DHCP
server only if the setting “Obtain an IP address automatical-
ly” is enabled in the their IP settings. For more information,
see the section “IP Settings” from page 66.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
