The child protection feature in the FRITZ!Box allows you to specify when and for how long individual computers or Windows users may use the Internet. For instance, you can define that your children are allowed to use the Internet connection only on weekdays between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and then only for one hour.
Note: The "Internet / Child Protection" menu is only available after you have entered your Internet account data in the "Internet / Account Information" menu and established a connection to the Internet.
The "Internet / Child Protection" menu is not available if you configured the FRITZ!Box as a DSL modem or as an IP client in the "Internet / Account Information" menu.
