FRITZ!Box home network can use these USB devices jointly and simul-
taneously.

Please Note
• USB devices with power consumption of no more than 900mA can
be connected directly to the FRITZ!Box. If the power consumption of
the USB device is higher, connect the device to the FRITZ!Box via an
active USB hub.
• Do not perform any updates for USB devices that are connected
with the computer via the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection.
• The FRITZ!Box cannot protect itself from voltage peaks and drops
during an electrical storm and can result in data losses on USB
storage media. You should back up the contents of your USB stor-
age media on a regular basis.
