AVM has released new beta firmware for two of its Fritzbox Fon routers, the WLAN 7270 and WLAN 7570 VDSL, making them IPv6 capable. The Fritzbox Fon is an ADSL modem, router and access point in one, and also has extensive VoIP capabilities. The device also has a USB connection, with which a printer or external storage capacity can be shared on the network.
