FRITZ!OS 6.83 PART 1

 
The GUI has remained the same for a while now and so once again the main overview screen includes various details about the device including the current power consumption, OS version, status of connections, available/used interfaces, list of all devices currently connected, audio messages recorded by the answering machine and a quick overview of available features including the telephone book, NAS and parental controls (by default the FRITZ!OS is set on standard view but i strongly suggest using advanced mode from the upper right corner).

Just like with previous FRITZ!Box models via the Internet drop down menu you can check the utilization of your internet connection (there are a couple of nice graphs in the DSL information tab) and the amount of data send and received, setup your connection (IPv6 is supported), set individual parental filters for all connected devices, enable/disable access to the device from anywhere in the world via HTTPS and finally you can monitor your DSL connection from the most detailed information page we’ve ever seen.

From the Telephony drop-down menu you can check the calls list, configure the answering machine, access stored telephone numbers, setup the phone (or phones) as alarms, setup the fax function and also allows you to handle/redirect all incoming calls.
