Display names

FRITZ!Box adds the names of all connected computers to the list of known names as soon as they access the Internet. If the computer name is unknown, its IP address will be included in the list of known names.

If several users share one computer, you may configure child protection settings for their user accounts (system requirement: Windows XP).

Proceed as follows to make the user accounts known to FRITZ!Box:

  1. Click the "Download" button to download the "FRITZ!Box-ChildProtection.msi" file.
  2. Run the "FRITZ!Box-ChildProtection.msi" file.
  3. Log in into each user account and establish an Internet connection. Connecting to the Internet makes the user account known to the FRITZ!Box.
  4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each computer on which user accounts have been configured.
  5. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface again. Now the user names are displayed.
  6. If you would like to restrict Internet use for individual users, click the "Edit" button in the corresponding line and configure the settings as desired.
