FRITZ!OS 8.00 - frequent dropouts

Has anyone else had issues with their Fritzbox 7530 since the OS updated to 8.00?
I have been experiencing frequent dropouts, Zen told me this morning that it's a known issue which can be fixed with a factory reset. The reset was done and the line held for four hours but the line just dropped again.

I have a 4060 which is still on a beta version. no issues whatsoever. I suggest that you contact [email protected]

They usually reply very quickly in English.

Hi, I have the 7530 ax and have updated to 8.0
I did have some problems with the Sky Q connection dropping but no other issues
The Sky Q problem was solved in WiFi / security/ and tick older devices box.

Thanks, I'll probably call Zen again if I experience another drop (they supplied the thing) but may also drop AVM a line.

You have a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty on your Fritz!box. AVM replaced my 7390 some years ago after 4 years of use. To determine what the issue is, AVM will usually send you a set of tests to run. AVM will then review the results.

My Fritz!Box 7530 has also started to regularly reboot itself after it upgraded to Fritz!OS 8.0.

I've factory reset it but that didn't solve the problem. Wi-fi and IPv6 are currently disabled as a test but it is still rebooting itself.

It's a VDSL connection so internet access goes off for a few minutes until the line re-syncs.

I've taken GoWest's advice and emailed AVM. If they get back to me with anything useful then I'll post it here.

Thanks. I'll keep my eye on this thread.

I'm still on 7.59 from June 2024 so I will be watching the thread for outcomes for 7530.
DSL version: 1.180.131.100
Broadcom Version 12.3.16
VDSL2 17a (ITU G.993.2)

I normally have the System → Update page set to Level 1 (Notify only) although I don't know if the ISP can direct them to update anyway with a TR-069 message.

I do use both IPv6 (with applicable rules in the firewall) and Wi-Fi so won't be turning either off and my Wi-Fi remains in mixed (WPA2+3) mode which currently supports everything that needs it here.

If I do update will have to see if that changes anything either for LAN settings or the versioning above.
The notifier mostly highlights some reworking of the GUI for v8.00

Uptime is 30+ days and I prefer not to have the router restart in the middle of a work shift or overnight cover rather than at a time when I decide is a good maintenance window for me.

I'd definitely recommend keeping your 7530 at version 7.59 until the problem with 8.00 is fixed.

My 7530 is still rebooting every 30 minutes or so. The logs are cleared at the point it reboots so the only entries relate to the router starting up. There is always an entry saying "An error report has been sent". I presume this is automatic telemetry to AVM.

I've now had to swap it out for a spare Zyxel router as I use Teams and Teamviewer most of the day. These were being interrupted every time the Fritz!Box crashed.
