We have talked to you more than once about FRTIZ! Apps, a set of applications from the well-known German company AVM that allow us to make the most of our FRITZ equipment!. In total, we find three different applications that are compatible with Android and iOS and receive regular updates that not only improve their performance and security, but also add design news and new features.

Those of you who read us every day already know how much AVM takes care to support its products at the software level, and these applications are no exception. Recently a German company released an update that brought interesting news in the AVM FRITZ! App Fon, MyFRITZ! App and FRITZ! App WLAN applications, but before you look at these new features, do you know what each of these applications is for? If the answer is no, don’t worry, we’ll explain it in detail.

AVM MyFRITZ!

with this application we can make various adjustments and configurations in our network and we can also remotely access our FRITZ! Box and the devices we have connected to it, including repeaters, PLC devices and memory units and printers.

AVM FRITZ! WLAN application

This is an application that also allows us to access and view our FRITZ! Box router very important information about our wireless network and the people around us, including such important aspects as the signal strength and the state of each of these networks.

We can also use the app to measure the coverage of our Wi-Fi network, namely find the optimal position when placing the repeater. If we focus on the details of our Wi-Fi connection, this tool will allow us to see the used IP address, supported frequency bands and actual speeds. If we focus on the networks around us, we can also get very useful information, such as the channels they use. It is free to download and is compatible with Android and iOS.

AVM FRITZ! Apps changes and improvements

With the latest update released by AVM, improvements have been made to these three applications that we have seen and focus on both in the user experience as in performance and new features added. These are the most important changes:

• Dark mode supportA: Many users, myself included, prefer this mode because it is more eye – friendly and can help improve autonomy when used with an OLED screen.
• FRITZ! App Fon has been improved at the alert level. It also allows you to block and unblock phone numbers that were not stored directly in the application, and has a call list that displays new faxes.
• The FRITZ! App WLAN now displays the latency when using the “Wi-Fi Media” function. This will allow us to visualize the latency of the device on the local network and our internet connection.
