Schedule

Wireless / Schedule

Using the schedule you can specify periods during which the Wi-Fi network of the FRITZ!Repeater is switched off.

When the Wi-Fi network is switched off, smartphones, notebooks, tablets and other wireless devices can no longer use the FRITZ!Repeater to connect to the internet. This means you can use the schedule, for instance, to restrict the time your children are allowed to surf the web. Switching off the Wi-Fi network also reduces the power consumption of the FRITZ!Repeater.

Setting Up a Wireless LAN Schedule

Overview

By default, your FRITZ!Repeater adopts the settings for the wireless switching schedule in the FRITZ!Box. You can also set up a separate Wi-Fi switching schedule for the FRITZ!Repeater.

Prerequisites

To configure a separate switching schedule for the FRITZ!Repeater, the following requirement must be met:

  • The "Adopt settings from the FRITZ!Box" checkbox must be disabled in the "Access to Home Network" menu.

Instructions: Setting Up a Separate Switching Schedule for the FRITZ!Repeater

  1. Enable the "Use schedule for wireless network" checkbox.
  2. Disable the "Adopt scheduling settings from the FRITZ!Box" checkbox.
  3. If the wireless network is to stay switched on as long as at least one wireless device is connected with the wireless network, enable "The radio network cannot be switched off until no more wireless devices are active".
  4. Select "Switch off Wi-Fi daily" or "Switch off Wi-Fi according to switching schedule".
  5. Enter the desired period of time or set up the schedule.
  6. Click "Apply".
