Setting up LAN guest access in the FRITZ!Box

With the LAN guest access you can offer your guests fast and secure internet access via the FRITZ!Box. The FRITZ!Box sets up a guest network that is completely separate from the home network. Therefore, devices in the guest network cannot access the FRITZ!Box or other devices in the home network.

This way your neighbor can use your internet connection via FRITZ!Powerline but not access your personal data, for example.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • IPTV playback and individual FRITZ!Box functions (such as port sharing, telephony) are not available in the guest network.
  • Devices in the guest network are configured to automatically obtain IP settings via DHCP.

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

1 Configuring guest access

  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. Enable the option "Guest access enabled for LAN 4".
  5. If guests should be granted internet access only after accepting the terms of use displayed on a captive portal, enable the option "Permit login with guest access only after consent to terms of use".

    Note:You can customize the captive portal under "Wi-Fi > Guest Access" ("Wireless > Guest Access"). For example, you can add your company logo or a redirect to a website.

  6. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

2 Regulating internet use for the guest access

All devices in the guest network are assigned the "Guest" access profile in the FRITZ!Box parental controls. This way, in Germany all websites included in the index of the Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors are blocked by default.

You can manually adjust the "Guest" access profile if necessary, for example if you want to limit internet use in the guest network to certain times or block access to certain websites:

  1. Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Filter" in the "Internet" menu.
  3. Click on the "Access Profiles" tab and then the (Edit) button for the "Guest" profile.
  4. Select the option "restricted" for the "Period".
  5. Click the "Internet use blocked" button, hold down the mouse button, and drag the mouse across the areas of the timetable when internet use should be restricted.
    Internet use at night and blocked during the day
  6. If you want to block certain websites, enable the options "Filter websites" and "Block websites". You can create your own list of blocked websites or only block websites that are indexed by the German federal government (BPjM module).

    Note:The BPjM module is only available if you select Germany as the country of use under "System > Region and Language".

  7. Click "Apply" to save the access profile.
