  2. Type http://Fritz.smartgateway 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.
  • Type in the address bar, not the search bar

    Enter http://fritz.smartgateway directly in the browser's address bar, not in a search engine.

  • Do not add 'www' or 'https'

    Fritz.smartgateway does not support 'www' or 'https'. Use http://fritz.smartgateway.

What is Fritz.smartgateway?

// briefing

Fritz.smartgateway 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.smartgateway is easier to remember and is provided by the manufacturer as a convenient alternative for accessing the settings page.

If Fritz.smartgateway 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.
