Resetting the Lab Version to the Official FRITZ!OS
System / Update / FRITZ!OS File
If you have a lab version of FRITZ!OS installed, then you can switch back to the official FRITZ!OS from the user interface.
Resetting can be done with or without backing up of your settings. If you would like to reload your settings to your FRITZ!Box after resetting to the official FRITZ!OS, we recommend using the "Reset FRITZ!OS with backup file" option.
