Fritzbox: Add devices
In this practical tip, we will show you how to add devices from the WLAN to your Fritzbox DSL router.
Add devices to the Fritzbox
Like many modern WLAN routers, the Fritzbox can distinguish between friends and foes from home, for example based on the MAC address. Use the following steps to add a new device to your Fritzbox:
- Log in to your Fritzbox.
- Activate the expert view under "Settings - Advanced Settings - System - View"
- Under "Settings - Advanced Settings - WLAN - Radio Network" you can now see all WLAN devices already known to the Fritzbox along with the associated IP address and MAC address.
- You can now add a new device manually by clicking "Add WLAN device" and manually entering the MAC address of the device in question.
- Alternatively, click on "Allow all new WLAN devices" in the Fritzbox and allow a first connection to the new WLAN device. Then you can use "restrict WiFi access to known WiFi devices" to secure the Fritzbox's WiFi access again.
