1. Blocking Calls Overview

You can set up call blocking in the FRITZ!Box to block incoming calls from specific telephone numbers or number ranges. You can also block anonymous callers.

• Start by finding the "FRITZ!Box Password" on the underside of your router
  
  
• Using one of your devices, open your web browser of choice and go to http://192.168.178.1 (when connected to your router via WiFi or a Wire)
• You'll then be shown a log in screen with an empty "Password" field, enter the found password and click "Log In"
