Shortly before the IFA in Berlin, AVM gave a first look at the Fritz!OS 7.50. The new firmware for the Fritzbox and other devices from the manufacturer brings extensive innovations, some of which have already been tested in advance.
With Fritz!OS 7.50, the next major firmware version for the Fritz boxes will be available this late summer. AVM announces a total of over 100 innovations for its devices. The update is free of charge and will start in a few weeks for the first products. By default, AVM first supplies its flagship routers such as the Fritzbox 7590 and gradually distributes the firmware to older models as well as its repeaters, WLAN adapters and telephones.
Fritz!OS 7.50 brings numerous innovations in different categories
In the weeks before the official release of Fritz!OS 7.50, AVM tested the most important functions as part of laboratory updates. The finished firmware includes numerous innovations and improvements in a wide variety of areas such as smart home, telephony and Internet, WLAN mesh and home networking.
With Fritz!OS 7.50, AVM improves the setup of VPN connections and increases the stability of Mesh WiFi. In addition, according to the manufacturer, smart home users have even more options for setting routines. For example, the Fritz!OS 7.50 introduces the if-then link, which automatically starts previously defined events as soon as the corresponding condition is met. For example, when the sun goes down, the smart socket Fritz!DECT 200 automatically switches on the light.
Scenarios such as “Coming home” can also be defined, including suitable events. At the appropriate time, for example, the thermostat starts heating, lamps switch on and the answering machine is deactivated.
With the update, owners of a Fritz!Fon will receive the new “voice ringing” function. Here, the DECT telephone announces the caller’s name for incoming calls (if available in the telephone book) or states the place from which the call is coming. Alternatively, users can also select an announcement text for alarm clocks and appointments, including the reminder function.
