Overall, a round, lovingly cooked product I --What functionality betrifft-- really can only recommend it if only one subject had not been so neglected: the theme "Security", ie, data security, and transparency (in the sense of "Ersichtlichkeit") for the user!
The FRITZ! Box web interface clings also in "advanced" mode, the topic of security completely. Why? Is it because this issue the owner of the FRITZ! Box is "high"?
You can easily set up things like the aforementioned remote access via MyFRITZ! or e-mail notifications (new messages on the answering machine or new fax), where you "only" have to enter his email address and his e-mail password. One can also "very easy" to be GMX Address Book or Google Address Book to synchronize with the FRITZ! Box address, and also needs to FRITZ! Box only blindly entrust its email credentials.
That gives me personally abdominal pain. I am reluctant, a system to entrust my email credentials and configure remote access when the system treated me like an idiot, you mean, I do not say whether any --and if ja-- which encryption methods are used.
This is not a minor issue!
I am eg GMX ProMail customer and insist that an access is made to my e-mail account via SSL! I do not want that the FRITZ! Box unencrypted trumpeted my credentials dull through world history!
Likewise with the other safety-relevant functions of the FRITZ! Box: They are easy to configure (DAU-compatible) and work as well but as it is with the security, about the FRITZ silent! Box.
The urgent need to improve an opinion. Customers are not so stupid as AVM believes. Perhaps AVM leads yet another mode, such as a "mode for tech-savvy".
Here there is an urgent need for improvement.
