Schedule

Wireless / Schedule

The schedule function allows you to specify the times at which the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network is automatically switched on and off.

Switching off the Wi-Fi network reduces the power consumption of the FRITZ!Box and prevents wireless devices from exchanging data with each other or accessing the internet.

Prerequisite

The clock in the FRITZ!Box must be set to the time of day. This means the FRITZ!Box has to be connected with the internet at least once.
