How do I setup my Fritz!Box for this App?

  1. Open a web browser and open the address of your Fritz!Box (usually http://fritz.box or http://192.168.1.1):
    Fritz!Box Address
  2. Enter the password of your Fritz!Box:
    Fritz!Box Login
  3. Navigate to the Guest Access settings page:
    Fritz!Box Guest Access Page
  4. Activate the guest access and fill in all settings:
    Fritz!Box Guest Settings

How do I setup the App?

  1. First, setup the Fritz!Box. See above.
  2. Be sure, your device is connected to the WiFi network of your Fritz!Box.
  3. Open the App. The guest settings page appears, if the App isn’t configured yet (otherwise, tap the settings icon in the lower left corner):
  4. Enter the address of your Fritz!Box. See above.
  5. Enter the admin password of your Fritz!Box (not the WiFi password!). See above.
  6. Tap “Done”.

Does the App work on 3G?

The Address http://fritz.box or http://192.168.1.1 is only accessible if you’re in your local WiFi. But you can control the guest network from 3G as well. There are two possible ways to do that:

a) Setup a VPN connection. If you have established a VPN tunnel between your device and your Fritz!Box, you can access http://fritz.box or http://192.168.1.1 as if you’re in your local network.

b) Setup the remote access feature of your Fritz!Box (via dynamic DNS or MyFRITZ!). Then you can enter the remote address (https://[ip-addess] or https://[dyn-dns-name] or https://[myfritz-id].myfritz.net) to control your Fritz!Box. You will be asked for login/password for this connection when logging in for the first time:
