Performing a FRITZ!OS Update Manually
Overview
The FRITZ!Box works with its own operating system: FRITZ!OS.
AVM regularly makes new versions of FRITZ!OS available for your
FRITZ!Box, free of charge. Updates contain further developments and
often new features.
In some cases it is not possible to perform an automatic update, or an
update via the “Mesh Overview” or wizard. Then you have the option of
performing a manual update with a FRITZ!OS file that is already saved
on your computer’s hard drive, or on a storage medium connected to
the computer, for instance a USB stick. No internet connection is need-
ed for this update.
Tip
Always install the latest FRITZ!OS version on all FRITZ! products in
your FRITZ!Box home network. This keeps your FRITZ! products up to
date and ensures optimum synchronization of all devices in your home
network.
