No, Fritzboxes have distinguished themselves by being about the best device you can hope to get from an ISP.


If this is the best you can get, you are better off not renting their stuff and buying an OpenWrt One for a time $100 investment give or take.


No really, they are pretty decent. I stopped running an old PC for router and firewall after I got a Fritzbox. It can traffic-shape, forward ports, configure fixed IP addresses and DNS names, provide limited guest access to the WiFi, analyze the WiFi spectrum (and show a graph) to choose uncongested channels, and do a whole bunch of things that I don't use but which are conceivably useful like VPN server, file server and such.
