Configuring Internet Access for Guests
23 Configuring Internet Access for Guests
With the FRITZ!Box you can provide houseguests with an Internet con-
nection of their own. At this guest access they can surf the web with
their own devices, but cannot access the contents of your home net-
work.
23.1 Requirements
The guest access in the FRITZ!Box can be configured and pro-
vided only if the FRITZ!Box establishes the Internet connec-
tion itself.
If the FRITZ!Box is operated as an IP client, no guest access
can be configured.
23.2 Wireless Guest Access: Private Hotspot
For your guests you can configure a wireless guest access.
The wireless guest access is your private hotspot.
Features of the Wireless LAN Guest Access
• At the wireless guest access your guests can login with
their own smartphones, tablets, laptops or other net-
work devices.
• Guest devices can surf the Internet.
• Guest devices have no access to your home network.
• The guest access can be disabled automatically.
• The guest access can use push service to notify you
about all devices registering and deregistering.
• The access profile “Guest” is set for the wireless guest
access. This access profile can be edited in the “Internet
/ Filters” menu on the “Access Profiles” tab.
