the internet- and router-specialists from AVM provide further updates for the fritzapp fon under ios and for the fritzapp WLAN under android. Both applications get new features after the update, in addition there are improvements.
Call signals for ios users
After the user has updated the fritzapp fon, new features await: if you use the app on an iphone, you are now free to choose the signaling for calls on the phone. To use the new feature, you need a router with at least fritzos 7.20 or higher. ios 14 must be installed on the iphone or ipad, but this should be the case for almost every owner by now. The update for the fritzapp fon can be downloaded now from the app store or you can update the already existing application to the latest version.
9 routers tested: which is the fastest??
Stable internet is becoming more and more important- and therefore also a good WLAN router. IMTEST has tested nine current models.
Measure latency yourself via android
The second update that AVM is making available as of today is aimed exclusively at android users and is for the fritzapp WLAN, which is thus upgraded to version 2.12.0 is raised. if you have done the update, you get the possibility to test the latency of your wlan yourself. The new function is hidden, as you can easily guess, behind the new menu item "measure WLAN". This new function came out well ahead in AVM’s user surveys, but iOS users will probably have to wait a while for it. The update is now downloadable from google play store. With the fritzapp WLAN, you can monitor all the access points in your home network quickly and easily at a glance. Other availableoverviews are available for repeater from fritz, powerline adapters and of course the popular fritzboxes. Data throughput can also be queried at any time.
