Hi,

I just switched over to 2degrees - on a gigabit fiber connection.

Plugged in the fritzbox 7490.

Speed tests were great - 920/500 on the wired desktop, 200+ on the laptop wireless.

Only thing that wouldn't connect was the raspberry pi 3b (running a NAS / openmediavault) connected by ethernet - it just couldn't get an internet connection whatever I tried.

Apart from the raspberry pi thing everything seemed fast and stable, wifi range was good.

But then as I connected everything else and more people arrived home and the connected devices started getting up towards 20, the wifi started becoming very unstable, dropouts on multiple devices etc.

I really liked the fritzbox, but after I couldn't get the raspberry pi to get a connection and then the unstable wifi , I thought I'd try my old router instead (D-Link DIR-882).

Once I was running through the D-link again the wifi went back to being stable again and the raspberry pi connected again, however the speed test on the desktop was only 250/250.

I updated the D-Link firmware and the new setup wizard auto-detected my provider as 2-degrees and seemed to already know all the correct settings from what I could see, everything is working, just the speed being a bit low is the only issue.

Sooo, my questions - 

1.   Am I right in assuming that the issue with the fritzbox wifi becoming unstable was a too many connections thing ?  is anyone successfully running say 20+ wifi connections on it ?

2.   Anyone using a raspberry pi 3b with the fritzbox 7490?  any ideas why it couldn't get an internet connection ?

3.   Any ideas on why the D-link is only getting 250/250 speeds compared to the 920/500 on the fritzbox ?

Thanks !
