Incorrect times and dates are displayed in the call list

The times and dates displayed in the call list of the FRITZ!Box are incorrect. The telephone calls were made on different days and at different times than those specified in the call list.

Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem is solved.

1 Restarting the FRITZ!Box

  1. Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Backup" in the "System" menu.
  3. Click on the "Restart" tab.
  4. Click the "Restart" button.

2 Setting the country of use

The FRITZ!Box automatically sets the times based on the country of use that is configured.

  1. Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Region and Language" in the "System" menu.
  3. Click on the "Region" tab.
  4. Select your country from the drop-down list. If your country is not displayed, select "Other country".

    Important:When the regional options are changed, the telephone settings (for example telephony devices, call diversion settings, dialing rules) are reset and must be reconfigured.

  5. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

3 Setting the time zone

The following step is only necessary if "Other country" is configured as the country of use in the FRITZ!Box or you are using the FRITZ!Box in a time zone that differs from the configured country of use (for example in the Azores or Canary Islands):

  1. Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Region and Language" in the "System" menu.
  3. Click on the "Time Zone" tab.
  4. Enable the "Set the time zone manually" option.
  5. From the drop-down list, select the difference between your time zone and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) in hours.

    Example:
    You are using your FRITZ!Box in the Azores (Portugal). Select "GMT -1 hour" from the drop-down list to manually set the time zone in the FRITZ!Box..

  6. If you are using the FRITZ!Box in a region with daylight savings time, enable the option "adjust to daylight savings time automatically" during daylight saving time. When standard time begins, you must disable the option again.
  7. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

4 Setting up the time server

The FRITZ!Box is already configured for use as a time server in the factory settings. If you adjusted the FRITZ!Box's settings, re-enter a valid time server:

Important:If you are using the FRITZ!Box with an internet connection from NetCologne, enter ntp.netcologne.de as the time server since NetCologne only allows time synchronization via this time server.

  1. Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
  3. Click on the "Network Settings" tab.
  4. Click "Additional Settings" in the section "LAN Settings" to display all of the settings.
  5. In the "Time Synchronization" section, enter the NTP time server on the internet that the FRITZ!Box should synchronize its time with.

    Note:Normally it is not necessary to change the preconfigured NTP time server 2.europe.pool.ntp.org. Alternative NTP time servers can be found here.

  6. Enable the option "Make FRITZ!Box available as a time server in the home network".
  7. Click "Apply" to save the settings.
