AVM was and is simply top

After my "great" D-Link 615 router with the all-known event of a fault, after 1 1/2 years has passed, had to be something new. Meanwhile has done in our budget a lot and two Smartphons and a tablet are to Lapi gotten all want to be diligently supplied with W-Lan. So, at first from about Med .... arket and a simple device (35) from Netgear bought. The menu via a web browser could be called up again for 10 seconds and then never again. The thing was broken after 10 seconds! So off it goes back to the red giant, who buys cheap, buys three times .....
After that I tried my luck at Amazon with the "TP-Link TL-WDR4300 Simultaneous Dual-Band N750 Gigabit Router". Could be better only because this router yes 54.95 costs. Again, nothing, because it has not been possible for me to include a hard disk via the USB port on the router to the network. The only thing that is commendable to mention was the slightly stronger transmission power compared to the D-Link, and the 5GHz channel significantly poorer values ​​/ speed brought as the 2GHz.
As all good things come in threes, I ordered the not so favorable Fritz! Box 3490 for 153.99

The Fritz! Box 3490-

-The Unit makes regarding the processing of a very good impression. Even the USB slots hold a stick or hard drive really well established compared to the TP-Link

- The establishment has lasted less than 10 minutes with the new Fritz OS 6.2 interface (all in native language)

- There is a WPS connection option that works well

- USB devices can be easily integrated including various power-saving settings.

- The transmit power in our 75m reinforced concrete apartment is superbly without exaggeration. (6 built antennas)

- No black glossy surface which anyway dusty

three minor niggles I must mention at this point but:

1. When a power supply significantly short cable has been installed (there was an a-ha effect)
2. Why does the router has no power button to turn on and off?
3. The raising of the box might go a little faster by equipping what will hopefully revised in the next software update.

Conclusion: Yes, the box is not part of his 153 for the best, but one of the best on the market
I give my buy recommendation for 3490 and would buy these again.
