Network kit manufacturer FRITZ!, which is a German developer of home networking products (e.g. FRITZ!Box routers are bundled by several UK broadband ISPs), has today informed ISPreview that they’ve begun to roll-out their latest FRITZ!OS 8.50 software update that includes various new features. Hopefully this will be less buggy than some prior updates.
The new update offers a wide range of expanded features ranging from improved diagnostic tools to additional smart home automations, new DNS filter mechanisms, optimised failover protection options and intelligent prioritisation of data streams. The focus this time around is said to be on “improving the stability and security of the home network“.
The update is first being made available to users of their FRITZ!Box 7690 router, while updates for other (older) models, as well as for the Wi-Fi repeaters and mesh sets, will follow gradually. The update will be installed automatically for those who have enabled that feature, but it can also be requested directly by clicking on ‘Start Update‘ in the fritz.box user interface (UI).
