Priorities in WiFi
With the FRITZ!OS 6.80 update users can be sure to surf, stream or chat without interference even if the guest network is highly used. So you can decide which transmission rates you and your guests are entitled to. If the FRITZ!Box owners are not online, the guests can enjoy higher data rates. The new online monitor is also very handy, since it now displays the data rates of the guest access on top of the usual downstream rates for Internet and IPTV. 

Even better and easier: MyFRITZ! for browser and app
Following the fritz.box user interface ? the window to the FRITZ!Box ? with FRITZ!OS 6.80 the user interfaces of the MyFRITZ! service (myfritz.net) and FRITZ!NAS now also appear in a responsive design and adjust to any display size. Using the MyFRITZ!App 2 (for Android) users have convenient access to saved data  at home and from anywhere else. With a single swipe you can establish a secure connection to your home network and access your FRITZ!Box and connected devices from on the go. 

On the safe side: strong passwords and settings requiring confirmation
The saving of backup files is even safer now as a new function implements an additional confirmation that can only be verified where the FRITZ!Box  is located (two-factor authentication). Attempts to log in with wrong user data are recorded as an event. Numerous other FRITZ!OS 6.80 upgrades provide the FRITZ!Box with the latest security standards. With every large update AVM always advises to install the latest version of FRITZ!OS for optimum security and best network synchronization.

Approve access from the Internet for online games, gaming consoles or IP devices
Devices connected to the FRITZ!Box are safe from unauthorized access from the Internet. However, certain applications such as online games or devices like IP cameras or gaming consoles sometimes need to be accessible for others over the Internet. FRITZ!Box users can enable such connections through port sharing. Now it's also possible to allow certain devices to control port sharing automatically. With FRITZ!OS 6.80 all shared ports (IPv4, IPv6, MyFRITZ! or autonomous) can be viewed and configured at once.  Users can find an overview of all shared ports with their connected home network devices in the menu at "Internet > Permit Access". Settings for parental controls can also be used with pure IPv6 devices with the new FRITZ!OS 6.80.

New features for the FRITZ!Box: New design for FRITZ!OS 6.50, with better overview of the home network and over 120 innovations

The latest update offers a redesigned user interface at http://fritz.box, optimized for smartphones, tablets and notebooks. In the browser it adjusts flexibly to the different display sizes. The user interface also received a fresh new look. The menu items and their arrangement remain familiar to users. 

The extensive home network overview of all connected devices is also new. These include all wireless, LAN, powerline and USB devices. At a single glance users can see whether their connected FRITZ! products are equipped with the latest version of FRITZ!OS. You can start updates directly from here.

With the new FRITZ!OS you can also use helpful analyses of your wireless LAN environment. Under "Wireless / Radio Channel" the loading of the radio channel currently in use is shown over time for the 2.4-GHz and the 5-GHz frequency band. The lower the loading of the radio channel, the better the potential data throughput there.

Now there is an option for granting guest access to the wireless LAN or LAN only after consent to the FRITZ!Box owner's terms of use. The guest is taken first to a captive portal to signal consent. Without confirming this page, you cannot connect to the Internet. 

News for parental controls: Tickets can be issued for each device to extend surfing time by 45 minutes. When online time has been exhausted, tickets can be redeemed on the Information page on blocked Internet use in the browser. 
By going to http://fritz.box/surf.lua with any network device, you can view the device's settings for Internet use and the amount of online time already used on the current day.

Since AVM also optimizes the security of the entire FRITZ! family with every new FRITZ!OS, it is advisable for every user to perform the update. The firewall can be operated in stealth mode to prevent ping queries. TLS security has been improved and port 25 received a new filter to block the unsecured e-mail dispatch.

With this FRITZ!OS 6, AVM is enhancing its FRITZ!Box with higher speeds, greater
convenience and a range of useful functions. Improvements to the wireless LAN guest access, 
MyFRITZ! and NAS create new possibilities and really step up convenience.

functions and improvements for your FRITZ!Box, all of them completely free of charge.


Your Private Hotspot

Provide a secure, private hotspot - providing your guests with free, fast WiFi Internet access.
The private hotspot has features that go beyond the capabilities of the current guest access:
Your guests' WiFi use is completely separated from your home network. Out of the box,
the hotspot is configured to provide access to surfing and email services.
You can trigger the hotspot via a timetable, and have usage logged and reported daily via an automatic 
push mail.

Also new is the practical, printable overview of the information needed to register with your wireless network 
and that of your guests.

MyFRITZ!, the secure cloud service where your data never leaves your control, now features a new design is clearer and more functional and automatically 
adjusts to your display size (including mobile devices). 

Parent control has been extended to the guest access: Internet access can be restricted to specific services such 
as web surfing and e-mail. The online budget for specific devices (such as your children's gaming consoles or 
notebooks) can now be combined in a profile.


VPN - Securely Connected with the FRITZ!Box
Tried and true, reliable and secure: With VPN - using the common industry standard IPsec - you can connect your notebook or 
smartphone securely with your home or office network from anywhere in the world. As recent events have shown, 
secure data encryption is a must - especially for businesses.

The new FRITZ!OS makes setting up a VPN connection much simpler. All of the required installation steps can be taken right
in the FRITZ!Box user interface. Using your notebook or smartphone, you can connect securely to your FRITZ!Box at home
