The FRITZ!Box Home Network
13 The FRITZ!Box Home Network
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 wireless
LAN.
• 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.
If you would like to learn more about the possibilities of net-
work devices in your FRITZ!Box home network, continue read-
ing in the chapter Network Devices in the FRITZ!Box Home
Network from page 88.
USB Devices
USB devices include, for instance, printers, multi-function de-
vices, and flash memory on the USB ports of the FRITZ!Box.
Connected USB devices can be used jointly and simultane-
ously by all network devices of your FRITZ!Box home network.
For more information about how to best configure USB devic-
es in your home network and how to use them securely, see
