Prioritizing a device in the FRITZ!Box for video conferences

To ensure that important video conferences with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Skype, for example, are not affected when the internet connection is being used intensively by several people, you can prioritize the internet connection of individual devices in the FRITZ!Box.

Note:You can also prioritize internet use for individual devices on your smartphone or tablet with MyFRITZ!App in the "Home Network" menu.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • Prioritization is not possible when the FRITZ!Box is used as a Mesh Repeater or in IP client mode. In this case, prioritize internet access in the Mesh Master or in your router.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

Prioritizing a device

  1. Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
  3. Click on the "Network Connections" tab.
  4. Click the (Edit) button next to the device you want to configure.
  5. In the "Internet Use" section, enable the option "Internet use by access profile and prioritized".
  6. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

Now the FRITZ!Box treats the device as a prioritized device with real-time applications and gives it the highest priority for internet use of all other devices.
