The FRITZ!Box connects your network devices, USB devices and stor-
age devices in what we call a FRITZ!Box home network. In the home
network the FRITZ!Box makes data like images, music and videos
available to all connected users and allows them to share a printer.
Network Devices
• Network devices include, for instance, computers, game
consoles and smartphones that are connected with the
FRITZ!Box via a network cable connection or via WLAN.
• All network devices can access each other’s folders re-
leased for sharing.
• The USB devices connected to the FRITZ!Box can be ac-
cessed by all network devices at the same time, and
available memory can be shared.

work devices in your FRITZ!Box home network, continue read-
