FritzBox users get a practical advantage for their router. The AVM manufacturer integrates the VPN software into the hardware via an update. Read here what that brings you.
AVM has great news for many FritzBox users. With the future update, popular routers will be equipped with a new function. Then WireGuard will find its way into the devices. This is a “virtual private network”. Users can activate this to simulate a different IP address. A VPN is used when you leave no traces on the network and you want to browse with a relatively anonymous identity.
In the case of WireGuard, encrypted connections to other computers can also be established here in order to create a separate network between them. Since Internet access must be routed through the program, speed losses are to be expected. Users from the “IP Forum” have already conducted preliminary tests with an early version of the function Superior. With a 100Mbps connection, about 60Mbps was left downloading. On upload, performance dropped from 40Mbps to 36Mbps.

FritzBox feature: When will it be released?
It is not yet possible to determine if the update will be available to all FritzBoxes in the future. Initially, AVM will likely only test WireGuard integration with Fritz Box 7590AX. If the first tests come off, there should be a beta update for many routers. But when this happens, AVMs have yet to be detected.
The new functionality is currently supposed to appear with FritzOS 7.39. As usual, there will only be a laboratory version of it. In addition, routers should be provided with the update only incrementally. We have one of the devices that is currently being updated Large FritzBox Overview summarizes you.
