Performing a Manual Update
FRITZ!Box 3390 61
10.3 Performing a Manual Update
In some cases it is not possible to perform an automatic up-
date, for instance when the FRITZ!Box is not connected to the
Internet. Then you have the option of performing a manual
firmware update.
Downloading the Firmware File
Before you can perform a manual firmware update, you must
download an up-to-date firmware file from the Internet (using
your neighbor’s or friend’s computer, or at an Internet café) and
save it on your computer or on a connected storage medium.
1. Enter the address ftp://ftp.avm.de/fritz.box/
in your
web browser.
2. Switch to the folder for your FRITZ!Box model, then to the
sub-folder “firmware”, and then to the folder named
“english”.
3. Download the current firmware update for your FRITZ!Box
with the file suffix “.image” to the computer.
The currently installed firmware version is displayed on
the “Online Update” tab, “FRITZ!OS File” tab, and on the
“Overview” page. The version number of the firmware
you downloaded and saved is included in the file name
of the *.image file.
Now you can copy the firmware file to the computer that is
connected to the FRITZ!Box (e.g. using a USB flash drive).
The complete model name of your FRITZ!Box is shown in
the user interface on the “Overview” page and is also
printed on the sticker on the underside of the housing.
Perform an update only if the downloaded firmware is a
newer version than the firmware currently installed.
