Fritz.nas

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

What is Fritz.nas?

Fritz.nas 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.

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

How to access the router login page

  1. 1

    Make sure your device (computer, phone, or tablet) is connected to the router — either via Wi-Fi or with an Ethernet cable plugged directly into the router.

  2. 2

    Open a browser and enter your router's IP address in the address bar. The address is usually printed on a sticker on the bottom or back of the device.

  3. 3

    Wait for the login page to appear. This may take a few seconds.

  4. 4

    Enter the login credentials. If you have never changed them, check the sticker on the back of the router or the documentation from your Internet provider.

  5. 5

    After logging in, you will see the router dashboard where you can manage all settings.

Troubleshooting

Common router troubleshooting steps: disable VPN, try a different browser, clear cache, use Ethernet

Cannot reach Fritz.nas in your browser? Hostname resolution issues, incorrect credentials, and network configuration problems are among the most common causes. Use the steps below to diagnose and fix the issue.

Fritz.nas does not open — try the IP address

If the hostname does not resolve, try using the numeric IP address instead. Some network configurations or DNS settings may prevent the hostname from working.

Login credentials are not accepted

The default credentials may have been changed by you or your ISP. Check the sticker on the back of the router for the current password. If it was changed and you cannot remember it, a factory reset will restore the defaults.

The page loads very slowly or times out

Disable any VPN or proxy settings on your device. Try a different browser or use incognito/private mode. Clear the browser cache. If you are connected via Wi-Fi, try using an Ethernet cable instead.

Firewall or security software blocking access

Some antivirus or firewall software may block access to local IP addresses. Temporarily disable the firewall and try again. On company or managed devices, your IT department may have restricted access to the admin page.

How to reset the router to factory settings

Locate the small reset button on the back of the router (you may need a paperclip). Press and hold it for at least 10 seconds until the LEDs start blinking. The router will restart with the factory defaults, including the original login credentials.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change the Wi-Fi password?
Log in to the router admin panel, navigate to the Wi-Fi security settings, and enter a new password. Click Save or Apply. All connected devices will need to reconnect with the new password.
I have multiple routers — which one am I logging into?
Make sure you are connected to the specific router you want to configure. Each device on the network may have a different admin address. Check which gateway your device is currently using in the network settings.
How do I change the Wi-Fi name (SSID)?
In the router admin panel, open the Wi-Fi settings and find the field for the network name (SSID). Enter the new name and save the changes. Your devices will find the network under the new name.
My ISP changed the default credentials — what now?
Many Internet service providers set custom login credentials during installation. Check the documentation your ISP provided, or contact their support. A factory reset will restore manufacturer defaults but may also reset Internet connection settings.
How do I find my router's IP address?
On Windows, open Command Prompt and type "ipconfig" — look for "Default Gateway". On macOS, go to System Settings > Network and check the address. On a phone, look in the Wi-Fi network details.
