10 Firmware Update: Updating FRITZ!OS
AVM provides regular free updates of the firmware for your FRITZ!Box.
This software—called FRITZ!OS—controls all of the FRITZ!Box func-
tions. Firmware updates contain further developments of existing
FRITZ!Box functions and often also introduce new functions for your
FRITZ!Box.
Select one of the methods described below to install new firmware on
your FRITZ!Box.
10.1 Performing an Update with the Wizard
The Wizard checks whether new firmware is available for your
FRITZ!Box and installs it automatically if desired.
Performing a Firmware Update
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 26).
2. Click “Wizards” in the menu and start the “Update Firm-
ware” Wizard.
The Wizard checks whether a FRITZ!OS update is avail-
able for your FRITZ!Box.
If the Wizard finds an update, it displays the version
number of the new FRITZ!OS. Click the link under the
FRITZ!OS version to view information about further de-
velopments and new functions contained in the
FRITZ!OS update. Read this information before starting
the update.
3. To transfer the FRITZ!OS update to the FRITZ!Box, click
“Start Firmware Update Now”.
The FRITZ!OS update begins and the “Info” LED on the
FRITZ!Box starts flashing.
The firmware update is complete when the “Info” LED stops
flashing.
Never clear the connection between FRITZ!Box and the
computer during a firmware update, and do not unplug
the power cord, as interrupting the firmware update
could damage your FRITZ!Box.
