[1] Scan the QR Code and You've Got a Connection: VPN with WireGuard

Support for the WireGuard VPN protocol is also new, making it even easier to set up secure connections from the internet to the FRITZ!Box home network ? for example when working from home or if you want to access your home network while on the move. With the new WireGuard Assistant on the FRITZ!Box, encrypted connections can be set up on smartphones, notebooks or PCs in no time at all using the WireGuard app via QR code or software. The previous VPN protocol for FRITZ!Box, IPSec, has also been updated by the AVM development team and now supports both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.

WireGuard Support for Simple Setup of VPN Connections

WireGuard(R) is a modern, easy to understand, fast, and simple VPN solution. For most operating systems, there are apps or programs from WireGuard for connecting single devices to a network via WireGuard VPN. WireGuard is a registered trademark of Jason A. Donenfeld (https://www.wireguard.com). WireGuard is not compatible with other VPN protocols. Therefore it cannot connect to IPSec, OpenVPN and similar peers. WireGuard itself does not contain any mechanisms for key distribution. Both parties therefore require the public keys of the respective remote site. The concept for the FRITZ!Box is that both key pairs can be generated on the FRITZ!Box to set up a connection, and all the necessary dial-in data can be imported on the client side via a file or QR code, e.g. in the WireGuard App. For your FRITZ!Box to be accessible via WireGuard VPN, you need a MyFRITZ! address (you'll need to register your FRITZ!Box with MyFRITZ!Net) or a third-party DynDNS address for your FRITZ!Box. Please note that the connection configuration ? QR code or configuration file - is not permanently stored on the FRITZ!Box (for security reasons). Do not let the QR code or configuration file fall into the hands of unauthorized persons.

[2] More Operating Convenience and a Clear FRITZ!Box Menu

FRITZ!OS 7.50 also refreshes the design of the fritz.box user interface and makes it even easier to read. The restructured overview page helps users find their way around even better. If you want to find out more quickly about how to use the FRITZ! products within the menu, you can get tips and instructions directly from the new online help, including a keyword search. The FRITZ!Box user interface has been visually refreshed with the new version. Particularly noticeable here is the separation of the menu from the left edge of the screen and the width of the displayed pages have been trimmed for better readability. This has a positive effect on tables and texts, especially when displayed on particularly large screens (resolutions), and at the same time improves the display on smartphones and tablets. The redesign is based on a new style guide that facilitates the integration of innovative operating concepts.

[3] Additional Confirmation

After this update, additional confirmation for certain settings and functions can no longer be disabled. However, if additional confirmation was disabled before the update, this condition remains intact after the update. AVM recommends always using additional confirmation for reasons of security. To allow changes to protected settings from on the go, the TOTP standard with one-time passwords can be also used for additional confirmation. A freely available password manager or a separate app like the Google Authenticator can be used for this.

[4] New wizard transfers all important settings for the internet, Wi-Fi network, and connections to Mesh devices to a new FRITZ!Box.

Please take note of the following tips and requirements:

The Wizard provided in this FRITZ!OS offers assistance if you are using a FRITZ!Box that you would like to replace with another new FRITZ!Box. Any other FRITZ! products connected with your currently used FRITZ!Box, including FRITZ!Repeaters, FRITZ!Powerline and FRITZ!Apps will also be connected to the new FRITZ!Box.

This new switching function makes it easier to exchange your old FRITZ!Box with another FRITZ!Box, so that

  • the Wi-Fi and home network and all of the connected home network devices will work the same after the switch

  • no settings have to be changed on the devices connected with the FRITZ!Box because of the switch

  • the internet connection can continue to be used in the same way

  • all important settings on the currently used FRITZ!Box are transferred to the new FRITZ!Box (for instance for MyFRITZ!)

  1. Two steps must be taken to prepare the other, new FRITZ!Box:

    • a current FRITZ!OS version 7.55 or newer. During the course of the wizard you will be prompted to update your new FRITZ!Box if necessary.

    • Set your new FRITZ!Box back to its factory settings , if it was used at all before, and then disconnect it from electrical power.

  2. The currently used FRITZ!Box provides the internet connection on your line and has the latest FRITZ!OS version 7.55.

  3. If you use any FRITZ!Repeaters: Update their FRITZ!OS.

  4. If you use FRITZ!Apps for the previously used FRITZ!Box, have your smartphone ready.

  5. You must have physical access to the FRITZ!Box you are currently using, so that you can insert its network cable and press the buttons. The other, new FRITZ!Box should be close at hand. You will also need to connect to electrical power and the internet for the switching procedure.

  6. If you are not only changing the FRITZ!Box model, but also the type of connection (for instance, from DSL to fiber optic), then the other, new connection must be ready for operation.

  7. You must be connected with the homei network of the currently used FRITZ!Box with a notebook or computer (recommended) or by smartphone. Under "Wizards" in the http://fritz.box user interface there is a "Transfer Your Settings to a New FRITZ!Box" link to click. Read the instructions presented there and follow them carefully. The process usually takes around 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the home network.

####Features for Mesh

General information on Mesh is presented at en.avm.de/mesh-networking.

Enabling the Mesh Function

To check whether a FRITZ! product is enabled for Mesh, see the Mesh Overview of the FRITZ!Box (the Mesh Master) under "Home Network / Mesh". Here the products in the Mesh are designated with a corresponding "Mesh active" symbol.

A FRITZ!WLAN Repeater or FRITZ!Powerline Adapter with FRITZ!OS 6.90 or higher installed can be enabled for Mesh in various ways:

  • If the product has the factory settings configured and is being connected with the FRITZ!Box for the first time, it will be automatically enabled for Mesh.
  • If the product is already connected, but not enabled for Mesh, it is added to the Mesh by pressing a button on the product to be integrated and a button on the FRITZ!Box. On the FRITZ!Box, use the button that initiates WPS (depending on the model, press the "Connect" or "WPS" button briefly, or the "WLAN/WPS" button for 6 seconds)

Detailed instructions, additional information and the answers to frequently asked questions about Mesh are presented at en.avm.de/mesh-faq.

Configuring a second FRITZ!Box as a Mesh Repeater with the press of a button

Requirements:

  • Your existing FRITZ!Box supports Mesh (FRITZ!OS 6.90 or higher). This box is the Mesh Master.
  • The FRITZ!Box to be deployed as a Mesh Repeater has been updated to FRITZ!OS 7.0 and you have restored its factory settings. This box is to become the Mesh Repeater.

Here's how:

  • Connect the LAN 1 port of the Mesh Repeater with the Master using a LAN cable
  • Initiate the Connect function on both boxes (7590: press the "Connect" button briefly; 7490: press and hold down the "WLAN/WPS" button for 6 seconds)

After the connection procedure is concluded, the second FRITZ!Box is ready for operation as a Mesh Repeater. (It is operating in "IP client" mode and, as a Mesh Repeater, adopts the wireless LAN settings and other important settings from the FRITZ!Box).

Please note that this function can be used only if the second FRITZ!Box is permanently connected with the first box by LAN cable.

If you've received the second FRITZ!Box from your internet provider this feature may not work in some cases. Please configurate this FRITZ!Box as a mesh repeater by visit the FRITZ!Box GUI manually. Instructions for configuring a FRITZ!Box connected via wireless LAN as a Mesh Repeater are presented at en.avm.de/mesh-faq

We recommend every update for reasons of security as well. Further improvements to increase security with this version of FRITZ!OS are presented at http://www.en.avm.de/guide/security in the area "Updates increase security".

Instructions for installing an update:

Use the update function offered in the user interface to install the update. This automatically offers you the right FRITZ!OS. Click "Wizards", select "Update" and then follow the instructions on the screen.
