Updating FRITZ!OS

FRITZ!OS is the software stored in the FRITZ!Box that controls all of its functions. We make new versions of FRITZ!OS available on a regular basis that enhance and add new functions to your FRITZ!Box.

Important:With some FRITZ!Box models, updates are provided directly by your provider.
