    Basically good device with a few small quirks.

    Basically good hardware, performance is right (my 1 Gbps line from Fiber7 can be processed wonderfully) and the box is not stingy with features.
    What is very unpleasant: the box was delivered with a beta firmware (had caused     that the box no Internet connection hinkriegt), therefore a few stars deduction! Only after tedious searching, I was able to find the current firmware on the AVM FTP server and install it --> lo and behold, Internet works wonderfully. For me as a computer scientist no problem, but for a layman impossible to get the part to work.

    Good device, but comes with unusable beta firmware

    CAUTION! The unit is delivered with a beta firmware with which no internet connection can be established via Fiber7. An update must first be carried out and an Internet connection is required for this. If you can download the firmware via another router or from a neighbour, this is no problem; otherwise it is difficult.
    After the update and a DHCP lease time of about 30 minutes, the connection works without problems. Once the device is up and running, it is very powerful and absolutely recommendable.
