Now it can be tested hard. The first FritzBox 7490 beta has the number 07.51-102214. This shows that this router will soon receive an already revised version of the new FritzOS.

There are a number of other improvements. According to the release notes, this includes, for example, improved multi-IP packet forwarding between WLAN devices. In addition, AVM has increased interoperability when using encrypted telephony.
