I sold mine in January after being interleaved for what must have been a year. Replaced it with a simple Tp-Link Archer VR2600 as I had no need for Dect phones, voicemail etc. One month on interleaving was removed so I can only presume the Fritz was to blame.

Only other modem I can think of right now is a Draytek Vigor 130

Performance on my line is slightly better using the Fritz, connection up time sitting currently at 72 days on what used to be a troublesome line. No it can't run in modem only mode, not sure why you would want to spend around £200 to place it in such a mode if it existed.

I'm surprised this thread is still going strong with people falling foul of this product despite almost 90 pages of bad experiences. It's been out over a year now with no real improvement in stability and will probably cease to get updates soon. Best thing I did was take mine back to store for a...

For anyone interested there's this page devoted to VPN on the Fritzbox http://en.avm.de/service/vpn/overview/

I have to hand it to some of you guys for having patience, but if they can't stabalise it in the time they have had so far then there's little doubt they will as it will be coming to the end of it's marketable life soon as new products are released. Whether or not ASUS have learnt their lesson...

Are you wanting a Broadcom based unit or Lantiq to match the cabinet?

No

My TP-Link adaptors work just fine with my Smart Meter, they shouldn't interfere because your using them inside the house mains circuit.

Not that I can see. All I can guess is there's some lucrative contract agreement as Asus seem to be it's main customer for it's chips.

I know of no other 'mainstream' OEM using the Mediatek xDSL chipset in a CPE product other than Asus. Maybe this is due to contractual agreements already in place but it kind of makes you wonder why. It's either a poorly implemented xDSL chipset or difficult to support via the firmware, either...

Ok but considering OC don't sell the Fritzbox was it really necessary for them to delete it?

They know it's problematic, they have repeatedly tried to fix it. The regulars on here including me have submitted countless error reports, logs. You only have to read previous posts on what is now a huge thread of rants, confusion and general despair.

Plenty on Amazon.

I think I can speak for everyone that had one and moved on, good luck with that they have had a year now to fix it with lord knows how many firmware updates.

There was an ASUS representative involved up until Jan/Feb but last I heard he'd disappeared and hasn't been back since so good luck.

It's not CRC errors you need to worry about, it's ES and SES both of which are not easily attainable on the ASUS. I mentioned this to ASUS numerous times whilst I had the device in question.

At least they have admitted to it finally. However considering I told them back in December this was the case it's taken 6 months to make that step.

More than 3 re-syncs in one day will most likely make DLM kick in.
