Using a Blu-ray player in the FRITZ! home network
If your Blu-ray player is equipped with a network port or Wi-Fi, you can easily connect it to the FRITZ!Box home network. The Blu-ray player can then access the internet and be used as a playback device for multimedia content such as photos, videos, and music.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Configuring the FRITZ!Box
In the factory settings, the FRITZ!Box automatically assigns the correct IP settings to all devices via DHCP. If you disabled the FRITZ!Box's DHCP server, re-enable it:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
- Click "Additional Settings" in the section "LAN Settings" to display all of the settings.
- Click the "IPv4 Settings" button.
- Enable the DHCP server and define the range from which the FRITZ!Box assigns IP addresses.
Note:The FRITZ!Box has the IP address 192.168.178.1 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) and assigns IP addresses from xxx.20 to xxx.200 in the factory settings.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
2 Configuring the Blu-ray player
Make sure that the Blu-ray player obtains its IP settings from the FRITZ!Box:
- Configure the Blu-ray player to automatically obtain IP settings via DHCP (this is the default setting for most Blu-ray players). Refer to the manufacturer for information on how to set it up, for example consult the manual.
3 Connecting the Blu-ray player to the home network
- Use either Wi-Fi or a network cable to connect the Blu-ray player to the home network.
