German network operators have requested the national regulator Bundesnetzagentur to start procedures to exclude Router Freedom from fiber networks. In a co...
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.
You said “range is much lower than it should be”, I’ve never heard that before, except - again - only for the 7581. Fritzes are generally tested as medium to good range, and very stable, so it is not just me. Are you maybe using APs with excessive transmit power settings or something similar?

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.
