Firmware-update: AVM FRITZ!Box 7590 AX 8.20

De AVM Fritz!Box 7590 AX is een VDSL2/ADSL2+-modem, gigabitrouter, Wi-Fi 6-accesspoint en DECT-basestation voor maximaal zes handsets in één. Verder beschikt het apparaat over twee USB 3.0-aansluitingen, waarmee een printer of externe opslagcapaciteit op het netwerk kan worden gedeeld. Terugkeren naar de oorspronkelijke firmware is altijd mogelijk; zorg dus voor een back-up. Bijwerken van de firmware kan vanuit de gebruikersinterface zelf, maar los downloaden kan ook. AVM heeft de firmware een update gegeven met FritzOS 8.20 en hierin zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
