Want to use a Power Saving Zone with your Tractive tracker and a FRITZ!Box router? Here’s how you can get started.
Use a Tractive Base Station
The Tractive Base Station makes it easy to set up Power Saving Zones with FRITZ!Box, especially if your router’s settings aren’t a perfect match for your tracker. To learn more, check out our article on How to use the Tractive Base Station.
If Tractive still can’t detect your Wi-Fi network, enable legacy mode on your router.
Enable legacy mode on your FRITZ!Box
- Log in to your FRITZ!Box settings at http://fritz.box.
- Once logged in, go to Wi-Fi.
- Select Wi-Fi Channel and enable Adjust Wi-Fi channel settings.
- From the Wireless standard dropdown, select Wi-Fi 4 (802.11b+g+n) for the 2.4-GHz frequency band.
- Click Apply to save.
- Next, go to Security in the Wi-Fi menu.
- In the WPA Encryption section, select WPA + WPA2 for the WPA mode.
- Click Apply to save.
