So now almost exactly two years have passed since @Bergler asked the question.

At least it’s now said to be coming in Q1 2025, but I won’t believe that until it’s available 🙃

That’s worse than delivery dates for new cars 😂

POGO 1104 haven’t made it yet still have the old glasses …

As the 5690 XGS is still a long time coming, there is now the option of switching to a Fritzbox 4690 and placing a Zyxel Bridge in front of it, for example.

Although you then have two devices, it is equivalent in terms of performance.

I will consider this alternative.

If you want to use your own home network router for a long time, it’s always good if it doesn’t have a built-in modem, because that way you’re not tied to a provider-specific, very specific Internet access technology.

In addition, the modem-less frits can also be cascaded wonderfully behind a provider router, which actually makes the superfluous purchase of an additional technology-dependent bridge superfluous.

I knew you would come up with this, my dear Werner 👍🏻😜😂

but you are also right, the “easiest” would be a 4690 behind the IB.

But you know my opinion on that 😉

I’ve been cascading my own routers behind provider access routers for over 20 years now, and in all that time I simply haven’t encountered a single situation that has prompted me to switch to a pure additional bridge.

However, if I were to encounter this situation, I would simply insert a technically suitable SFP+ slot into my own router to completely replace the provider CPE, which I don’t want to do yet.

Of course, everyone can always decide for themselves what they consider to be the best technical solution.

cybi it always needs it (DHCP option 60 and VLAN) when managing with 3Party, regardless of whether fibre or copper.
