This chapter introduces additional useful functions and fea-
tures of the FRITZ!Box.
7.1
Child Protection
The child protection feature in the FRITZ!Box allows you to
specify when and for how long individual computers or Win-
dows users may use the Internet. For instance, you can define
that your children are allowed to use the Internet connection
only on weekdays between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and
then only for one hour.
Child protection is set in the “Internet / Child Protection”
menu of the FRITZ!Box user interface.
•
Child protection can be set up for any computer, regard-

•
In the Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP oper-

each user individually.
See the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box to set up child protec-
tion. The Online Help contains further comprehensive infor-
mation on the child protection feature.

reduce their energy consumption accordingly.
For an overview of energy consumption open the “System /
Energy Monitor” menu.
The energy consumption is shown as a percentage. The maxi-
mum power consumption value of the FRITZ!Box is the
amount of energy used when all functions are in operation.
The “Energy Monitor” page shows the following:
