AVM Content

Did you find a new FRITZ!Box under the Christmas tree this year? All you need to do is unbox it, get it set up and the new FRITZ!Box is ready to go - providing your home with fast internet and stable Wi-Fi. FRITZ! offers these options for setting up your new device.

Set up on your smartphone

The MyFRITZ!App makes setting up a FRITZ!Box easier, thanks to the mobile configuration wizard (available with FRITZ!OS 7.80 and later). After downloading the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, all you need to do is scan the FRITZ!Box's QR code to automatically recognize the FRITZ!Box and get it set up. In addition to helping you get set up, the app offers access to numerous convenience features such as home network overview, missed calls, new voice messages and remote access to the FRITZ!Box – both at home and on the go.

In the article Set up FRITZ!Box with a smartphone, find out how the MyFRITZ!App Configuration Wizard works and how it makes the FRITZ!Box installation process that much easier. You can find the download links for the app there, too.

Switching FRITZ!Boxes

If you already have a FRITZ!Box and now want to replace it with the new FRITZ!Box, switching FRITZ!Boxes is super easy. The "Transfer All Settings to a New FRITZ!Box" wizard transfers all important settings, all devices connected to the old FRITZ!Box and even your MyFRITZ! account. In short: The new wizard makes it easy to switch to a new FRITZ!Box with everything you need – a seamless transition.

A second life for your FRITZ!Box

You're now wondering what to do with your old FRITZ!Box? It's simple: give your FRITZ!Box a second life. Provided that the existing FRITZ!Box is running at least FRITZ!OS 7 (or later), it can be used as a Mesh Repeater to easily and efficiently increase the range of your home network.

The FRITZ!Box can also be used for a Smart Home Mesh network to connect more Smart Home devices in the home network. The FRITZ!Box can also function as a NAS (Network-attached storage). Files and media can be stored centrally on a NAS (network-attached storage) so that all network devices have access to them.
