As the manufacturer reports, the security functions are also improved with every new FritzOS update. AVM therefore advises “basically to carry out the update for all devices”.

The new updates arrive directly on the device without you having to do anything if the recommended auto-update function is activated. If not, call up the user interface using the address “fritz.box” (without quotation) and click on “Search for new FRITZ!OS” or “Start update” under “System/Update”.
