  • Each ticket consists of a randomly selected 6-digit code generated by the FRITZ!Box.

Generating Tickets

  • Tickets can be generated only by FRITZ!Box users with write rights.
  • The display always shows 10 valid tickets.
  • Once they are redeemed, tickets disappear from the display and are immediately replaced by new tickets.

Transferring Tickets

The ticket must be transferred to the user who wishes to redeem it. Verbally, by email, printed on paper, or in any other way.

With the "Print Tickets" button you can generate a print view of the ten currently valid tickets.

Redeeming a Ticket

  • Tickets can be redeemed by network devices and Windows users in the home network.
  • Tickets cannot be used by network devices registered with the guest network.
