    1. Your range is much lower than it should be.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

          I had a router from 1&1 where they locked down the firmware to exclude many settings. Might be a similar case with Vodafone.
