AVM has released a new laboratory version of its FRITZ! OS for the FRITZ! Box 7590 . This should primarily please owners of a FRITZ! Fon. With the operating system in the version 07. 24 – 82582 all users are able to view current weather data on the AVM telephone. In order for the weather forecasts to be visible on the mobile device, the FRITZ! Fon needs the latest firmware and MyFRITZ! be active. The phone is then able to call up the relevant data using the area code for its own phone number. In the Smart Home area, the new laboratory version comes with roller shutter support. It is now possible to control compatible blinds via the FRITZ! Box.

The management of tickets in the parental controls has also been improved. In addition, the device status (active / not active) is now displayed in the device selection for port sharing. The display of the port forwarding overview on mobile devices has been optimized. An extension of the access profile settings in the parental controls has also found its way into the FRITZ! Box with the new update. There are also some improvements to the FRITZ! OS 7. 20 DNS-over-TLS (DoT) function. The robustness is increased with failing or non-responding remote stations as well as with infrequent latency measurements with the laboratory version. AVM has also optimized the retry behavior of DNS over TLS (DoT).

With regard to WLAN, the WLAN> Radio channel page has been revised and the messages for WLAN under SYSTEM / Events have been improved. In the Mesh Repeater operating mode, when the Mesh Master is selected, only WLAN radio networks with visible names will be displayed in the future. If the country is set to Germany and the phone number set up automatically by the provider, the area code contained therein is recognized and transferred to the connection settings.
