German network operators have requested the national regulator Bundesnetzagentur to start procedures to exclude Router Freedom from fiber networks. In a co...
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.
Excuse me but this a load of. Range is just fine, as is speed -unless you’re 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.
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.

100% this. People are ok with them because it’s all they know. Once you use higher quality networking equipment it’s 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 can’t even set port forwarding at all.

If you are happy with the range stick with it. 🤷♀️
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.
