FRITZ!Box as a Wireless Access Point
The FRITZ!Box is a wireless access point for wireless devices
like notebooks, tablets or smartphones. The FRITZ!Box can
establish wireless LAN connections compliant with the fast
Wireless AC standard and the Wireless N standard in two fre-
quency bands at the same time. The FRITZ!Box is preconfig-
ured with encryption using today’s safest method WPA2. This
encryption method is supported by most of the latest wireless
devices. The FRITZ!Box supports wireless LAN convenience
functions like night service and WPS Quick Connection.

Switching the Wireless Radio Network On and
Off by Schedule
You can configure a schedule for times at which the wireless
network of the FRITZ!Box is to be turned on and off automati-
cally. This reduces the power consumption of the FRITZ!Box.
The FRITZ!Box schedule also affects any other AVM products
connected in the network, like the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater, for
instance: the radio network of these devices is also switched
on and off for the specified times.
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2.
Open the “Wireless / Schedule” menu.
3.
Enable the schedule for the wireless radio network.
4.
Configure the settings for the schedule:
–
With the options “Switch off wireless LAN daily” and
“Switch off wireless LAN according to schedule” you
define the intervals for switching.
–
You can also enable the option “The radio network
cannot be switched off until no more wireless LAN
devices are active”.
5.
Click “Apply” to save your settings.
Now the schedule of the FRITZ!Box is enabled and configured.
Detailed instructions are included in the help of the
FRITZ!Box user interface.
