Innovations and improvements in the FRITZ! Lab

DECT

• NEW The SOS call is part of the simplified mode and allows up to four emergency contacts to be registered, who will be called automatically one after another in case of emergency. The duration and repetition of the call sequence can be specified and adjusted
• NEW For easier operation by users with restrictions, the following functions and more are available: After activation, the softkeys can be used as quick-dial buttons, such that each button can be assigned a phone number or function

Storage/NAS

Internet:

• Improved During manual configuration of WireGuard® connections, now VPN connections for user dial-in can be created as well

• Improved To guarantee compatibility, the Let's Encrypt certificate for the MyFRITZ!Net address are renewed after the 2/3 of the term of validity for the current certificate has elapsed
• Improved For local name resolution (via mDNS) the following are supported: fritzbox.local, gateway.local, box.local (FRITZ!Box only), repeater.local, fritzrepeater.local (Repeater/MeshSet only), as well as router.local and gateway.local in general
• Improved In parental controls, the function for extending online time by 45 minutes is now supported for shared time budgets as well
