FritzBox: Info LED flashes red - cause

The FritzBox is probably the most popular router in domestic homes. This is because the smart box is very user-friendly and easy to set up. However, errors can also occur on the FritzBox. If this is the case, the status LED flashes red.

What does it mean when the status LED lights up red?

There are various errors where the status LED flashes red. Either you have just updated the FritzBox, transferred the security settings to the USB stick or you have made a setting that uses the LED as a signal light.

1. If the flashing occurs after an update, you should disconnect the FritzBox from the power supply. After about ten seconds, plug it back in.
2. Next, clear the cache of your browser.
3. Now go to the menu of the FritzBox and perform the update again.
4. If you have a Fritz! WLAN USB stick connected, unplug it.
5. Connect to the FritzBox via LAN and open the menu via your browser. Go to the WLAN settings and activate "Activate AVM Stick & Surf". Bestätigen Sie den Vorgang mit „Übernehmen“.
6. Haben Sie selbst eine Einstellung getroffen, dann blinkt die LED, weil Ihr Onlinevolumen aufgebraucht ist, ein Anruf in Abwesenheit erfolgte, eine Nachricht auf Ihrem Anrufbeantworter liegt oder weil Sie ein Fax erhalten haben.
