Host

Instead of a numeric IP address, some routers use Fritz.powerline as a memorable web address for the admin panel. Enter it in your browser to access the login page.

Fritz.powerline

// host overview

Fritz.powerline is the hostname for accessing the admin interface of a FRITZ!Powerline router on your local network. It is not a regular website and only works when connected to the same network as the router.

Hostname
Fritz.powerline
Kind
Local login name
Fallback IP
192.168.178.2

Typing Fritz.powerline in your browser uses the router's local DNS to resolve to its admin page, whereas typing the numeric IP (192.168.178.2) directly accesses the same page without DNS resolution.

Type this, not a search

// address bar

Address bar

http://Fritz.powerline

  1. Use the browser address bar. A search box will look up Fritz.powerline on the public internet and miss the router.
  2. Type http://Fritz.powerline with no www and no https. You must be joined to this router's Wi-Fi.
  3. If the name does not open, use the numeric address 192.168.178.2 instead.
  • Do not search for Fritz.powerline

    Typing Fritz.powerline into a search engine will not work. Always enter it directly into the browser's address bar.

  • Avoid adding 'www' or 'https'

    Fritz.powerline does not support 'www' or 'https'. Use 'http://fritz.powerline' or '192.168.178.2' instead.

What is Fritz.powerline?

// briefing

Fritz.powerline is a local web address that gives you access to the admin panel of your router. This address only works when you are connected to the router's network — it does not resolve on the public internet.

Compared to a numeric IP address, Fritz.powerline is easier to remember and is provided by the manufacturer as a convenient alternative for accessing the settings page.

If Fritz.powerline does not resolve in your browser, you can use the numeric fallback address 192.168.178.2 instead. Both lead to the same admin interface.
