Add Device

Use this button to add to the "Devices and Users" list network devices that have not yet connected to the FRITZ!Box and are supposed to always receive a fixed IP address from the DHCP server.

This function is designed for special application scenarios.

Example:

You have your FRITZ!Box configured by a specialized vendor and to fulfill requirements including the following:

• Port forwarding/sharing should be configured for a server in your home network.
• Child protection/parental controls should be configured for various network devices in your home network.

The server and all of the other network devices are located in your home and not on the premises of the specialized vendor. The network devices are unknown to the FRITZ!Box.

This raises the following problem:

Port forwarding/port sharing and parental controls (child protection) can be configured only for network devices that are known to the FRITZ!Box. A network device is known to the FRITZ!Box when there is already an entry with the name, MAC address and IP address of the network device in the "Devices and Users" overview.

This is the solution to the problem:

With the "Add Device" button you can register network devices with the FRITZ!Box with their name, MAC address and IP address.
