FritzBox strange network problems
I have already "used" various FritzBoxes. Most of them either at customers' homes or in restaurants or other places with public Wi-Fi. I have also tested a 7390 and a 7590 at home. And with every single installation with a FritzBox as a router, I had very strange network problems. On my Android phones (first an Honor 8, then a Note 8 and currently an Honor View 20), sending WhatsApps doesn't work properly. It just has the clock icon forever. Turning wifi off and on again solves the problem for the next few minutes or even hours. I was also sometimes unable to install apps in the PlayStore (just forever "waiting to download"), receive or send emails in Gmail and images on websites loaded very sluggishly. All this could be temporarily solved by turning the Wi-Fi off and on again. Ping worked perfectly even when these problems occurred and speedtest also delivered good values. I have also had customers who have complained about such problems. And lo and behold: a FritzBox. Temporarily replacing it with another router solved all these problems. I have never had such problems with various other routers. Only FritzBoxes. Do any of you also have such problems with a FritzBox? Are there possible causes or even solutions? Or am I simply crazy?
