Transferring settings to a new FRITZ!Box

The wizard for easy switching to a different FRITZ!Box transfers all settings from your old FRITZ!Box to your new one. With the wizard, your additional FRITZ! products and the FRITZ!Apps you use can be used with your new FRITZ!Box without having to register or configure them.

During the FRITZ!Box switching procedure, the wizard checks whether a FRITZ!OS update is available for your new FRITZ!Box and installs it if necessary. Once your new FRITZ!Box has been successfully configured, the wizard loads the factory settings of your old FRITZ!Box.

Note:If you cannot use the wizard or only want to import certain settings, you can save the settings of the old FRITZ!Box in a backup file and restore individual settings in the new FRITZ!Box.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • FRITZ!OS 7.56 or later is installed on the old FRITZ!Box.
  • FRITZ!OS 7.56 or later is available for the new FRITZ!Box.
  • Do not insert the SIM card into the new FRITZ!Box until the wizard prompts you to do so.
  • The wizard must be run in the FRITZ! home network.
