AVM FritzApp WLAN: New iOS version with improvements
AVM has several free apps for Android and iOS/iPadOS in its range so that the functions of the FritzBox can be used conveniently on mobile phones and tablets. The FritzApp WLAN is one of the mobile applications from the manufacturer from Berlin. It lists all wireless networks in the area with information about the wireless channel and signal strength and provides information about your own connection by displaying the IP address, for example. The app also measures the current transmission rate and helps with the optimal placement of a WiFi repeater. The iOS/iPadOS version of the FritzApp WLAN now receives an update with improvements.
