management of the network is possible through the Bitdefender BOX app, which can
be installed on iOS and Android tablets and phones. The application has an embedded
notification system to keep you informed about network events.
With Bitdefender BOX you can:
• Protect devices added to the home network from potential threats and malware,
even when they are off-site.

•Set up a password-protected Wi-Fi network and share a protected Internet connection

ivWhat is Bitdefender BOX?
1. The Basics
Say goodbye to the Antivirus.
Bitdefender BOX is a smart security solution that offers extended online protection to
all devices connected to the home network, whether they are inside or outside the
network.
Bitdefender BOX needs to stay connected to the Internet to offer protection and control
over registered devices.
Installation is a simple two-stage process: connecting the BOX to your router or directly
to the Internet, and setting up the application. It takes about five minutes and requires
minimum configuration on your internet-enabled devices. For the complete process,
refer to the section “Set up BOX” (p. 5).
The Bitdefender BOX app enables the configuration of the BOX network, device
administration, and reports regarding the network activity. Also, notifications alert when
security issues are identified. For detailed information on the features, refer to the
section “Bitdefender BOX app dashboard” (p. 12).
To configure the BOX network, you have to go through a set of basic and intuitive steps
that will become available once you start exploring the Bitdefender BOX app. You will
soon discover that you can manage notifications and organize devices within the BOX
network into two categories: Family and Guest. For more information on what features
can be managed for each device connected to the BOX network, refer to the section
“Protected devices” (p. 13).
Any device that runs a supported Operating System and is included in the Family devices
list benefits from more features offered by the BOX network. For the full list of features
for each platform, refer to the section “Managing BOX features” (p. 20).
Occasionally, you will receive notifications about updating your Bitdefender BOX
firmware or software. Apply them timely to stay updated with the latest fixes and
changes. For more details on this topic, refer to the section “Updating BOX” (p. 29).

on your router, if available.

4The Basics
2. Setting up BOX
The BOX network can be managed from one or more devices that have the Bitdefender
BOX app installed, activated with the same BOX account. Make sure you know who
else has access to the account.
2.1. Bitdefender BOX app requirements
The Bitdefender BOX app can be installed on iPhone/iPad from the App Store and on
Android smartphones/tablets from Google Play, and it runs best on:
• Android 4.0 or higher
• iOS 7.0 or higher
Before you install the Bitdefender BOX app, check the following details to ensure the
installation goes smoothly:
• Make sure the smartphone or tablet on which you plan to install the app meets the
minimum system requirements.
•Make sure you have enough space on your smartphone to install the setup application.
The minimum space required is 30 MB.
The Bitdefender BOX app can be installed on multiple devices if needed. As a result,
you can have two or more devices running as management devices at the same time,
as long as you are signed in using the same BOX account. It's recommended to do this
on devices you own.
2.2. Set up BOX
Bitdefender BOX can be set up alongside your existing Wi-Fi router or as a standalone
router.
Before starting the setup process, make sure that the device you will install the
Bitdefender BOX app on meets the requirements, and that the BOX and its accessories
are at hand.
5Setting up BOX
2.2.1. Connect BOX to your Wi-Fi router
When Bitdefender BOX is configured to work alongside the router/gateway, all online
traffic is filtered by BOX and devices are protected.
NOTE
Devices remain connected to the home network.
Multiple routers in your home
BOX protects a single LAN network. If you need more than one router to provide full
coverage for your home, make sure BOX will be connected to the one that is ensuring
the Internet connection while keeping all the others configured as wireless extenders,
in bridge or switch mode.
Plug in the included AC power adapter and connect it to BOX with the USB cable. Then
connect BOX to any available LAN port on your Wi-Fi router with the cable included in
the package (lift tray to get it), like this:
Begin setup
Your router's web interface user name and password may be required during the
configuration process. The default ones are placed on the back of your router. In some
cases, your ISP may have changed your connection credentials for security purposes
and you should contact the ISP’s support to obtain them.
Download the Bitdefender BOX app to your Android or iOS device using a Wi-Fi network
or mobile data.
Run the application to start the configuration of Bitdefender BOX.
