don't like them. the two i ever used had regular crashes and wifi-outages. not to mention the laughable range. i'm cool with people using them, i would just never buy one.
100% this. People are ok with them because itβs all they know. Once you use higher quality networking equipment itβs painful to go back.
As a genuinly curious Fritz-user: such as?
Your range is much lower than it should be.
If multiple people use the Wi-Fi at the same time the speed is lower than it should be compared to taking your total speed and dividing by users.
You are missing access to some settings that you should have access to. On newer Fritzboxes you canβt even set port forwarding at all.
Excuse me but this a load of. Range is just fine, as is speed -unless youβre using a 7581 vDSL model, those were crash-prone and wifi broke often. I have and had several models and that was the only one ever causing trouble. And port forwarding is still there,at least on a 7990 with the latest firmware update.
If you are happy with the range stick with it. π€·ββοΈ
As for port forwarding it was not an option with the fritzbox provided by vodaphone to me. Maybe because it was DS-Lite stack only.
I had a router from 1&1 where they locked down the firmware to exclude many settings. Might be a similar case with Vodafone.
No that's because vodafone puts their own firmware version on it with limited settings. If you get the same fritzbox with the default firmware from AVM then you have port forwarding.
