Hi,

I'm thinking of replacing my Freeola/BT VDSL kit with a Fritzbox.

The main reason is to free up a plug, however, I see that the Fritzbox has added features.

Has anyone had experience of the range? If so, what are they like to install and run?

Anything useful in the logs? Check both ends (router and PC).

I switched the channels to manual but discovered I had the wrong 'allow new device' setting set.

I assumed that 'Do not allow any new device' related to mac address filtering, so set that.

I reset it to allow all new devices and everything connected (with WPA2).

EDIT: The 'Do Not Allow...' does relate to MAC address filtering, but you have to let the device attempt to connect once with the 'Allow...' setting before you switch over. A bit long-winded really.

I connected my phone system to it yesterday. Quite impressed at the features available for call handling.

There is Do Not Disturb, fax, answer phone. Mobile can pick up and use land line. Alarm clocks.

There's all kind of goodies.

The Fritz!Box 7490 is a good piece of kit (once you get it working).

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
