The FRITZ!App WLAN displays Wi-Fi reception in real time, allowing you to check how good your connection is and, if necessary, if you need to make changes to your network.

While smartphones usually just list a large number of Wi-Fi networks, FRITZ!App WLAN quickly provides an easy-to-understand visualization of those nearby – including signal strength, allocated Wi-Fi channels, and any frequency overlaps. It also gives you an overview of the most important parameters of the connection being used: IP address, supported frequency bands, and current throughput. The app lists all detectable Wi-Fi networks and displays information such as encryption standard, signal channel, and signal strength. The scannable QR code or WPS mean there’s no need to type in any long passwords or search for the right Wi-Fi network.


With FRITZ!App WLAN, connecting your Android device to the FRITZ!Box is super easy.
