December 1st, 2022 at 3:21 p.m. by Claus Ludewig – The Berlin company AVM has rolled out the new Fritz OS 7.50. The 150 new functions also include features for the smart home and for gamers.
In October, AVM released new beta versions of the laboratory firmware 7.49 so that the upcoming Fritz OS 7.50 operating system could be tested. The new OS for the Fritz boxes is now officially available. The new software will be distributed to routers and repeaters in several waves. Overall, the manufacturer speaks of 150 new functions. If you use a WiFi mesh and rely on hardware from AVM, the new Smart Repeating should offer more data throughput and more stability for the WiFi.
More speed for online games
There is an option for speed distribution, which is intended to help gamers with online games, for example. Network access to storage media in exFAT file format is also possible. The router can be turned into a kind of mini-NAS by connecting hard drives to the USB ports of the Fritzbox. In connection with a Fritz Fon there is a new appointment calendar and voice announcements. If you want, you can store call blocks for callers who are not in the phone book. Wireguard VPN connections are supported in order to be able to set up a VPN solution quickly.
The routines are specially designed for the smart home. For example, devices that are connected to the Fritz Dect 210 smart socket can be switched off when you are not at home. Such scenarios should save energy. The newly designed smartphone app Fritz App Smart Home can also be used for control. Fritz OS 7.50 is initially available for the Fritzbox 7590, with other models to follow.
