Fritz Maker Publishes Per‑Model Update Timelines for Routers and Accessories

The new Status der Produktunterstützung web app gives users clear end‑of‑update dates so they can judge security risk and plan device replacement.

Overview

  • AVM has released a public web app called Status der Produktunterstützung that lists each FritzBox, repeater and accessory with its current FritzOS version and a firm date when firmware updates will end.
  • The table shows many current models are scheduled to receive security and feature updates through early 2032 or January 2033, giving owners a multi‑year support window for planning.
  • The web app also flags whether personal support and entries in AVM’s online knowledge database remain available for each device, and it covers Mesh, smart‑home and telephony accessories.
  • FritzOS continues to be updated with both fixes and features, for example version 8.40 added a DNS filter and the staged 8.50 rollout is already available for several routers.
  • Security experts and coverage recommend users consult the web app to check their device’s specific end date and update status and to prioritize replacing unsupported hardware to avoid unpatched vulnerabilities.
