Time Limit
By defining periods you specify when internet use is allowed and when it is not.
With the "Period" and "Time Budget" settings you can restrict the time for internet use.
The period specifies the time during which the internet can be used each day. The time budget specifies how long the internet can be used during these periods.
Period
First enable one of the settings "always", "never" or "restricted":
Setting | Description/Effect |
---|---|
always |
|
never |
|
restricted |
|
Description of the Timetable:
- On the timetable you can enter when internet use is permitted on individual weekdays and when it is not.
- Blue marking: Internet use is allowed during the periods marked in blue on the timetable.
- No blue marking: Internet use is not allowed during the periods not marked in blue.
- Each day is divided into 15-minute intervals.
Here is how to mark periods on the timetable: Click and drag
- Place the mouse cursor at the beginning time.
- Press and hold down the mouse button while pulling the mouse cursor to the desired end of the period permitted.
- If the subsequent days are to receive the same marking, simply pull the mouse cursor further down.
To remove the markings, proceed just as you did to select them.
Time Budget
With the time budget you specify for how many hours internet use is permitted on the individual days.
The time budget applies only to new access profiles you set up. The "Standard" and "Guest" profiles do not have a time budget.
You have the choice between a limited and an unlimited time budget.
Setting | Description/Effect |
---|---|
unlimited |
|
restricted | With the "restricted" setting you can define at what times and for how long the internet may be used on each day of the week. For a restricted budget the following always apply:
Example: If the "always" setting is selected in the "Period" area, then the complete timetable is marked in blue and internet use is possible at any time on every day. With the limited time budget you can define a maximum length of use for each day, for instance five hours each day. As soon as the five hours have been exhausted, the internet can no longer be used on this day. |
Shared budget
If this setting is enabled, all network devices to which the access profile is assigned share one daily budget.
Example:
The access profile has the following settings:
Period: | Every day from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm |
Budget: | 6 hours per day; the "shared budget" setting is enabled. |
The access profile is assigned to three network devices.
When is the daily budget of 6 hours exhausted?
Sample calculation 1:
All three devices begin surfing the net at the same time: | the daily budget is exhausted after two hours |
Sample calculation 2:
The first device starts surfing at 1:00 pm. It uses one hour up to 2:00 pm: | 1 |
The second device starts surfing at 2:00 pm. By 3:00 pm the first and the second device use two hours. This makes for a total of three hours by 3:00 pm. | +2 |
The third device starts surfing at 3:00 pm. Now all three devices are using the internet. Up to 4:00 pm they use three hours. Then the daily budget is exhausted. | +3 =6 |
The sample calculations illustrate how a shared budget is used up whenever multiple devices are used at the same time.
Filters for Websites
Using the "Permitted websites" and "Blocked websites" filter lists you can block or allow access to websites.
- Upon delivery, no websites are preconfigured in the filter lists. This means that there are no restrictions to accessing websites. Any website can be opened.
- You must enter in these lists the websites to which you wish to permit or prohibit access.
- Access to websites via https is not restricted upon delivery. If you would like to block access to https pages, you must enter these pages in the "Blocked websites" list. Only complete domains can be blocked for https. With https it is not possible to block individual subdomains, paths or IP addresses.
- You can use only one of the two lists in an access profile: either the "Permitted websites" list or the "Blocked websites" list.
- When editing the lists, please note the instructions on the Help pages.
List | Meaning of the List |

Blocked websites |

Filter websites
Enable this option if you would like to use filter lists.
When this option is enabled, the preconfigured selection is "Block websites".
Permit websites
Select this setting if you would like to permit the user to visit only the websites on the permitted websites list. You can write your own list on the page accessed by clicking on "Internet / Filters / Lists".
Block websites
Select this setting if you would like to block the user's access to the websites on the blocked websites list. You can write your own list on the page accessed by clicking on "Internet / Filters / Lists".
When the "Blocked websites" list is used, websites can only be opened by entering their names (URL). It is no longer possible to access such websites with the IP address. If IP addresses are entered, they are automatically entered in the list of permitted IP addresses. You can release individual IP addresses for access in the list of permitted IP addresses. IP addresses released for access can be opened.
Block websites with adult content (German BPjM module)
If you have selected the "Blocked Websites" list, you can also block the websites deemed harmful to young people (in the BPjM module). This index is compiled by the German federal government's review board.
The BPjM module can only be used with the country setting "Germany". The country setting is configured on the "System / Region and Language / Regional Options" page.
Blocked Network Applications
Here you have the possibility to deny internet access to network applications. Select from the drop-down list the network applications to be blocked.
You can edit the list of network applications by clicking on "Internet / Filters / Lists".
Assigned Network Devices
If the access profile is assigned to one or more network devices, the network devices are displayed in a table. Click on "Assign to additional network devices" to assign this access profile to further network devices.
If the access profile is not assigned to any network device, then all network devices that belong to the home network of the FRITZ!Box are listed. Select the network devices to which you want to assign the access profile.
