Use case: 3 bed house, upstairs and downstairs use as well as garden use, multiple concurrently active devices - smartphones, tablets, laptops, TV including streaming and video conferencing - and no space for a separate model and wifi ap, it needs to be all-in-one sadly.

For this to work, I changed the Fritzbox settings to 'Another attached modem/router establishes the internet connection' and this is where it told me to connect to the LAN1 port. This way you only have to set up a single Wi-Fi connection on your smartphones, tablets, and notebooks to gain access to the home network and your FRITZ! I'm guessing probably downstairs towards the side of the house where the phone socket is, with a good chunk of signal being absorbed by the external wall. Smartphones, tablets, game consoles and computers - the number of devices per household is increasing all the time.When configured as a modem only it would indeed be a bridge, assuming it lets you configure it to be so. Box 7530 AX also has an integrated DECT telephone system, as well as gigabit Ethernet, a USB port and a media server. Fast, my current modem/router cannot work on its own however it can link with the existing Huawei modem and linked me to this page.

The DSL connector on the back will work with ADSL broadband connections, as well as the newer ADSL2+ and VDSL. With the modern WireGuard protocol and the proven IPSec standard, you can establish a secure connection to your FRITZ! as that is what I generally use for routers and although it works well it appears to max out at 522/105. I was able to easily update the router's OS via the internet, which bodes well for future security and feature improvements. A bridge is very similar to an ethernet switch, but switches sometimes have more ports, and only do ethernet, with no other kinds of interfaces.They mention that the information pages and diagnostics are well thought out, and provide loads of information useful if you are having problems with your DSL connection. If your internet service provider is displayed in the drop-down list, select your internet service provider. My previous router was about 10 years old (no doubt with tired electronics) so the sync speeds with the Fritz! Have never actually deployed my Zen supplied unit so can't actually comment regarding usage on FTTC service, however, I believe that Zen supply this model on their FTTP service also so as such would be "bridged" to the ONT. Also almost all of these offloads do not offer the generality of the Linux network stack but only work under special conditions (although these often apply to normal home links, after all that is the main market the SoC makers target with their designs).
