Changing the MyFRITZ! address of the FRITZ!Box

When a FRITZ!Box first logs into your MyFRITZ! account, the FRITZ!Box is assigns a random, unique address ending with .myfritz.net. The FRITZ!Box is always accessible over the internet at this MyFRITZ! address, even if its public IP address changes regularly.

The MyFRITZ! address is required to redirect you easily and reliably to the MyFRITZ! home page of your FRITZ!Box after you have logged in to myfritz.net.

You can change the MyFRITZ! address of your FRITZ!Box and create a different MyFRITZ! address with the extension .myfritz.link for the FRITZ!Box or assign it the MyFRITZ! address of a different FRITZ!Box.

Important:After changing the MyFRITZ! address, VPN connections to the FRITZ!Box must be reconfigured and any bookmarks must be changed to the new MyFRITZ! address. As for MyFRITZ! apps, once they have been used in the home network, they will always use the new MyFRITZ! address.

  1. Call up myfritz.net in a web browser.
  2. In the corresponding fields, enter the email address and MyFRITZ! password you used to register with MyFRITZ!Net, and click on 'Log In'.
  3. Solve the CAPTCHA.
  4. Click on the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the web page and then click on ‘MyFRITZ!Net Settings’.
  5. Click on 'Manage MyFRITZ! Addresses'.
  6. Click next to the given FRITZ!Box on .

      1. Enable the option 'Use existing MyFRITZ! address'.
      2. Select the desired MyFRITZ! address.
  8. Click on 'Save' to adopt the new MyFRITZ! address.
