Advantages of Night Service
WLAN night service offers the following advantages:
- time-controlled Internet access
With night service you can ensure that your children are only allowed to surf the web until a certain time of day, or only within a certain period.
- reduced power consumption when idle
The WLAN module is only active at certain times. This reduces energy consumption.
Setting up Night Service for the WLAN Radio Network
In order to set up night service, a valid time must be set in the FRITZ!Box. This means the FRITZ!Box has to be connected with the Internet at least once.
- Select the setting "Use schedule for wireless radio network" to enable wireless night service.
- If, when the scheduled switch-off time arrives, the radio network is to remained switched on until all wireless connections between wireless LAN devices and the FRITZ!Box have been ended, also select the setting "The wireless network cannot be switched off until no more wireless devices are active."
- Disable this setting if you would like the wireless radio network to be switched off during FRITZ!Box night service no matter what connections are active.
If wireless connections are active at the beginning of the schedule, for instance, because your children are still surfing the web, or the repeater function of the FRITZ!Box or a repeater has been configured, the FRITZ!Box will clear these wireless connections automatically.
- In the next step, specify whether the Wireless module of your FRITZ!Box should be switched off for the same period every day or according to a different schedule on certain days.
Turn off wireless network daily from Enter in the fields "from" and "until" from when to when the WLAN module should be switched off every day.

Just click the corresponding time segments with the mouse. A segment that is switched on can be switched off by clicking again, and vice versa.
