Firmware Update: Updating the FRITZ!Box Software
7 Firmware Update: Updating the FRITZ!Box Software
AVM provides free updates of the firmware for the FRITZ!Box. The firm-
ware is the software stored in the FRITZ!Box that controls all of the
FRITZ!Box functions.
Firmware updates contain further developments of existing FRITZ!Box
functions and often also introduce new functions for your FRITZ!Box.
Finding New Firmware and Transferring It to the FRITZ!Box
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 25).
2. Click “Wizards” in the menu and start the “Update Firm-
ware” Wizard.
The Wizard checks whether new firmware is available for
your FRITZ!Box.
If the Wizard finds new firmware, it displays the version
number of the firmware. Click the link under the firm-
ware version to view information about further develop-
ments and new functions contained in the firmware up-
date. Read this information before starting the firmware
update.
3. To transfer new firmware to the FRITZ!Box, click “Start
Firmware Update Now”.
The firmware update begins and the “Info” LED on the
FRITZ!Box starts flashing.
The firmware update is complete when the “Info” LED stops
flashing.
Do not interrupt the power supply to the FRITZ!Box dur-
ing the firmware update!
