Versions:
FBReconnect 1.0.4, published by NASS e.K., is a lightweight network-utility utility designed to force a reconnect of the widely used AVM Fritz!Box router so that the attached DSL or cable modem obtains a fresh public IP address. By logging in to the router’s web interface with the user-supplied credentials, the program triggers the same “Reconnect” command that is normally accessed manually through the Fritz!Box dashboard, but it automates the sequence and confirms success within seconds. Typical use cases include circumventing deliberately short DHCP lease times imposed by some ISPs, resetting throttled speeds after excessive downloads, accessing geo-dependent services that track IPs, or simply performing routine connectivity tests without walking to the router or opening a browser. Because the application stores the router’s address, username, and password locally, subsequent reconnects can be launched with one click, making it convenient for gamers, seeders, remote workers, and privacy-minded households that prefer frequent IP rotation. The executable is portable, requires no elevated rights on the PC, and works with every Fritz!Box generation that offers the standard reconnect page, from older Fritz!Box 7170 units to the latest Fritz!Box 7590 AX. FBReconnect has appeared in three public builds since its debut, progressively adding HTTPS support, improved error reporting, and a smaller memory footprint, with version 1.0.4 representing the current stable release. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
