When they put fiber in front of the house I live in and then planned the routing through the house, I replaced my ISP’s router with a FRITZ!Box. This way, I thought, I don’t need to change two things at once when the routing is done.
The FRITZ!Box sends a monthly health/status update email which is not terribly useful but also not offending me. So I keep it on.
I just received the 23rd email.
