FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050: Best VoIP Router in Internet Professionell Test

In its September, 2005, issue, the computing magazine Internet Professionell compared ten ADSL routers that offer Voice-over-IP extensions for Internet telephony. First place went to the product with the best VoIP functions and the best operation in the comparison test: FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 by AVM.

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN could hardly have been easier to set up, the authors found: "A newbie-oriented setup program on the CD helps you connect the device to the PC, splitter, and ISDN NT if necessary, guiding the user step by step." Nor were there any obstacles to the first WLAN connection: "AVM is known for wireless network security mechanisms that are enabled by default, and FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 is no exception." AVM furnishes each individual device with a unique, factory-set key, which is printed on a label on the bottom of the device.

Internet Professionell concluded: "AVM's FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 is a thoroughly well-made product with the versatility to cover all possible areas of application. Not only does it allow you to connect ISDN telephones as well as analog extensions for Internet telephony, but FRITZ!Box also connects to the fixed phone line--whether POTS or ISDN. No other device tested does that. Moreover, set-up and operation can be mastered even by beginners, thanks to excellent instructions."
