Updating the Firmware Manually

10.3 Updating the Firmware Manually
There are situations in which it is not possible to perform an
automatic update, for instance when the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater is not connected to the Internet. Then
you have the option of performing an update manually.
Requirements
Before you can perform a manual update, you must download
an up-to-date FRITZ!OS file from the Internet (using your
neighbor's or friend's computer, or at an Internet café) and
save it on your computer or on a connected storage medium.
