Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7270 User Reviews

...but not quite there yet. This is a nice piece of kit, but not properly tested in the UK! All in all it should, once set-up properly, work without necessary interference by the user and be an almost perfect device. Problems with this router regarding compatibility should be fully resolved by now, as the international edition available comes with built-in Annex A (used in the UK) and Annex B. During set-up you choose which one of those you need. Unfortunately, the updates let the whole device down. Firmware updates have been released on several occasions, which made the router restart itself every hour (loss of internet, interrupted telephone calls) without reason or incompatible DSL drivers were released, which led to complete loss in connection to the Internet. The official firmware does not seem to be tested correctly. I am with TalkTalk and after the last update, which also included a new DSL-driver, I could not establish a connection to the Internet anymore. This is very frustrating as you then have to contact the support and ask them to revert back to an older firmware. This however does not prove to be that easy if you do not have that old router stored away in the cupboard somewhere to connect to the Internet and send your email.

DECT base, PBX, USB port for printer/flash drive, use of connected flash drive as network memory...

updates sluggish (no testing with broadband providers in the UK), volume meter missing (used to be present in previous models)
