FRITZ!Box as a Wireless Access Point
The FRITZ!Box is a wireless access point for wireless devices like note-
books, tablets or smartphones. The FRITZ!Box can establish wireless
LAN connections compliant with the fast Wireless N standard. The
FRITZ!Box is preconfigured with encryption using today’s safest meth-
od 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, the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater, for in-
stance: the radio network of these devices is also switched
on and off for the specified times.

devices are active”.
