Setting up a schedule for the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network
The schedule function allows you to automatically switch the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi on and off at certain times. In the FRITZ! Mesh, the FRITZ!Box (Mesh Master) transmits the scheduling settings to all Mesh Repeaters (for example FRITZ!Repeater) and thus ensures that the Wi-Fi is switched off in the entire Mesh at night, for example.
Regardless of the schedule, you can activate or deactivate the Wi-Fi at any time by briefly pushing the WLAN button on the FRITZ!Box. You can activate or deactivate the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi by selecting "Home network" > "Wi-Fi" on a FRITZ!Fon, or you can enter the keypad code #96*1* or #96*0* on a different telephone. If Wi-Fi is enabled on the FRITZ!Box, you can also enable Wi-Fi on the Mesh Repeaters by briefly pushing the Connect or WPS button.
1 Preparations
The following steps are only necessary if you want to set up scheduling settings in a FRITZ!Box configured as a Mesh Repeater that differ from those of a Mesh Master (to switch off Wi-Fi in your child's room earlier, for example):
2 Setting up a Wi-Fi schedule
- Click "Wi-Fi" ("Wireless") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Schedule" in the "Wi-Fi" menu.
- Enable the option "Use schedule for Wi-Fi network".
- If the Wi-Fi network should not be switched off until no more wireless devices are connected, enable the option "The Wi-Fi network cannot be switched off until no more wireless devices are active".
- Define when the Wi-Fi network should be switched off.
- If the Wi-Fi network is to be switched off at the same time every day:
- Enable the option "Switch Wi-Fi off daily".
- Enter the desired period.
- If you would like to set up a detailed weekly schedule:
- Enable the option "Switch off Wi-Fi network according to schedule".
- Mark the desired periods of time by clicking and dragging with the mouse or click the "Enter Period" button and enter the periods using the keyboard.
- If the Wi-Fi network is to be switched off at the same time every day:
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
