![]() The cameras have worked perfectly for years through a prehistoric Alice Gate 2 Plus Wi-Fi first and a cheap Asus DSL N55U_D1 then, but since I installed the very expensive FritzBox 6890 LTE the cameras started to become unreachable at random. I noticed the problem because in my home I have for several years 4 Wi-Fi IP cameras of different brands (Bosesh and Vstarcam) that connect via Wireless 2,4 GHz to the router and are managed by a Linux server with Zoneminder. If there are wireless devices always connected to the FritzBox, their communication speed collapses almost to zero in a completely random way, becoming unreachable but remaining connected with an excellent signal. ![]() The most serious problem of the FritzBox 6890 LTE (and almost certainly also of the FritzBox 7590) concerns the stability of Wi-Fi connections. The telephone part works fairly well, but it is impossible to connect Android phones via VOIP, as can be verified from this discussion it is a problem that afflicts FritzBox devices for over 5 years and after some time has not yet been resolved. The DSL modem part of the FritBox 6890 LTE is actually very good indeed it hooks up to the maximum carrier speed but this is the only positive note. The FritzBox 6890 LTE is a FritzBox 7590 with the added possibility of having a fallback network provided by an LTE SIM, which would have made me happy considering that I have several Linux servers accessible via the Internet. I then purchased a FritzBox 6890 LTE International v2 for the modest sum of 350 euros. ![]() I would have liked to buy a VDSL2 modem/router on which to install OpenWrt and the only one available would have been the BT Home Hub 5 which unfortunately only supports profile FTTC 17a and not 35b, I could have bought a VDSL2 modem and connect it via WAN to an OpenWrt router but unfortunately the space available was little. A few months ago I was been able to update my home internet connection from an ADSL line to an FTTC line, so I also had to buy a new VDSL2 modem/router to replace the old ADSL2. ![]()
