Yes sure was quick I posted about the 7.12 update in the 7.11 thread

Wi-Fi is better for sure when on the edge of coverage

Oops, sorry - had a quick look on the forums, but didn't check there!

Nothing wrong - it's a new version so a new thread is ok.

Not happy really. Three times now the red LED was lit. Looking at the admin page it said "Internet not connect for longer than one hour"... When in fact this was not true at all.

Obviously a bug on how it checks for the existing connection.

Interesting, the 2 I have at home are wall mounted behind a TV and in the hallway cupboard (so don't usually see the LEDs). Will have a nosey at ours if I remember. Presume you're on fibre @fretasm ? Can't say I've noticed any change to day to day usage. Upgrading the 2nd Fritz via the mesh area was cool, a bit like the unifi contoller upgrade! haha

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem....

I have raised a support request with AVM about it. I'll let you know what they say..

This thing I've reported back in August is still happening.

My Fritzbox is on 7.12 and out of the blue the status led is red. When I login I see this message ("Internet connection interrupted for more than one hour) and if I click Show Details I see the description below:

Looking at the log I see this:

This is obviously false, as I have been using the Internet all this time (working from home most of the days when this message appears), as well at the time of this log entry (and others) I was happily watching something on Netflix on the big TV.

Anyone else seeing this as well?

@NickMack any idea?

Can't say I've ever seen a red light on mine in the times that I've looked in the cupboard that the main router lives in. Also had a trawl through the log and haven't seen that entry. I have to note that I'm on the generic AVM firmware rather than the stock 2degrees one that the fritzboxes usually comes with.

Hiya,

Sorry I haven't seen it - I've pinged this thread to the devices team for them to investigate/work with AVM if appropriate - I'll report back when I know more.

Nick.

a couple of questions ?

Has anything been changed on the Config – or is it on defaults ( like as in after factory reset – Wifi changes etc. is fine but has it been customised WAN settings )

Would need the Advanced Support logs – from 192.168.178.1/Support.lua

Has a factory reset been done and does it happen after that? ( not the best solution so do it after you get the support files )

Is the preferred set to IPv4 or IPv6

What type of setup? eg. Is it direct to ONT, or runs through a switch etc..

No changes to defaults. No hard reset done as recently. Direct to ONT.

Not sure if its a coincidence or not but my Fritzbox updated to 7.12 (on 10.03.2020 4:30am) and since then I cant RDP to an AWS based server that was working on Sunday (9th) just fine.

Anybody know if any settings changed in regards to security?

Ive checked on AWS and the firewall is open to my IP.

Im about to go digging through the UI!

I suspect the website the router is going to, to test the internet connection, is down. Or it cannot resolved the DNS of the website it's testing against (eg, simple curl to www.google.com to test connection works).

just a hunch.

That's my guess too.
