Using the FRITZ!Box Push Service

The FRITZ!Box can send you e-mail messages at regular intervals (known as "Push Service mails") reporting on the status of FRITZ!Box and information about its use.

  1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. "Settings" > "Advanced Settings" > "System" > "Push Service"
  3. Select the setting "Enable FRITZ!Box Push Service".
  4. Select the intervals at which the e-mail should be sent:
    daily: The e-mail message will be sent at midnight, at the end of each day.
    weekly: The e-mail will be sent at midnight Sunday, at the end of each week.
    monthly: The e-mail message will be sent at midnight on the last day of each billing month.

  6. Enter the password for your e-mail account and confirm it in the following field.
  7. Select the "Advanced Settings" tab and select what information should be contained in the Push Service mail.
