Setting up access and prioritization rules for a network application
You can define rules for network applications in the FRITZ!Box so that
- some access profiles are completely prevented from accessing the internet with them (parental controls).
- their internet access is treated with high priority or low priority if the internet connection is overloaded (prioritization).
Requirements / Restrictions
- You can only regulate applications that exclusively use the TCP and UDP protocols.
Note:The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for your FRITZ!Box.
1 Preparations
- Determine which ports and IP protocols the application uses. Refer to the manufacturer for this information, for example consult the manual.
Note:You can find a non-binding overview of the ports used by many applications at www.portforward.com.

- Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Filters" in the "Internet" menu.
- Click on the "Lists" tab.
- Click the "Add Network Application" button in the "Network Applications" section. If the button is not displayed, enable the Advanced View first.
