@quadra2030 Well it's almost stock, and no you don't have the upgrade option (at lest I cannot find it), given the PTSD with the old VFstation I was prepared for far worse... Below some screenshots from the various config pages:

If you're referring to TM, yes: And the IPv6 delegation working properly: I like the fact that the expiration is set to 40d @r2d2 I asked support if bridge mode was supported on my old VF station, and they said it wasn't; hence the reason for my premature departure :) In my case I don't care too much about IPv4 although it would be a nice to have, but I need proper IPv6 support with end to end routing to certain devices, which again VF doesn't allow with their managed router, hell even disabling the firewall is only temporary (only lasts for 24h). So assuming I was comfortable doing NAT66 (which for obvious reasons I'm not) my service would still be interrupted the moment the VF station decides to block the connection. As for my conclusions with the fritzbox, it's a really nice device, sure there is better stuff out there for the power user, but it's reliable and supports most common configuration needs for the power user, also the price of 120Kc month seems fairly reasonable considering that these units have a retail price of around 250-300Eur.

Ok so I received the new Fritzbox and to my surprise it seems it's a stock firmware. Doesn't seem that VF cripples it in any way. Means that all the IPv6 functionality is supported out of the box and that includes full support for prefix delegation and your own router down the road (some configuration is required, PD downstream is not enabled by default on the FritzBox) Unfortunately I hadn't tested it with full connectivity because at the start of my IPv6 adventure I was so pissed at VF that I requested a switch to TMobile (which gives me double upload speed for the same price), and thought would have enough time to test it before they switch the connection, but alas the timing wasn't right. Now I'm using the TM junk (which actually runs the same software and configuration as the old VF station), but TM supports bridged operation and I made a call to support and it works fine with my own mikrotik router. Conclusions: For power users or anyone who wants to setup networking their own way, with VF the only viable way of implementing it, is by paying the "premium" equipment fee for the FritzBox, which in my personal opinion is absolutely worth it; for the unfortunate souls who have ordered the standard equipment (VFStation) well you're out of luck! You can only implement proper connectivity via NAT66, i personally tested NDP proxy but the VF station doesn't pickup the advertised routes anyway. As long as you're on cable (DOCSIS 3.1) you should be able to request the upgrade to fritzbox anytime, contact VF support if you do and ask them.

There might be valid reasons on why bridge mode is not supported on VF routers (XLAT and RA parameters probably), nevertheless since I don't care about IPv4 too much I'm more than happy to throw my own router down the road, but currently VF routers don't allow this (disregarding IETF recommendations, partially implementing rfc3769), as they disable the only meaningful way of doing it by blocking IPv6 prefix delegation via DHCPv6 PD requests. With the old VF station you simply cannot put another router below it, without doing nasty crap like NAT66 (then WTH is the point of assigning a /56 to my VF station?) or NDPProxying (it hurt my brain just to think about it). Meanwhile VF please get your shit together with the IPv6 stuff, it's 2025...

Hi there, sorry for writing in english but my czech isn't yet good enough... I had my internet with VF for a few years now (1G cable) and recently decided to implement proper sanitation on the network to block my son from accessing brainrot content on various websites; well turns out that android doesn't support DHCPv6 and bypasses my custom DHCP server for the IPv6 stack via SLAAC. Obviously it's not a direct fault of VF but i cannot push my custom DNS (pihole) to android devices as the Router Advertisement is non configurable on the VF station; since I don't care too much about old IPv4, I thought that it will be easy to simply create a new network with my own router, implications are double NAT for IPv4 and routed IPv6 via prefix-delegation form the VF station. Well found out that the old VF station doesn't allow DHCPv6 PD and shows this message instead: Server support for prefix delegation is not enabled. Sorry buddy. Aight so I'm pounding sand here, decided to call VF support and ask if it would be possible to order the new FritzBox modem/router and get rid of that crappy VF station, I will be getting a new unit next Tuesday! Now if anyone knows, is the DHCPv6 PD properly implemented in the new FritzBox? I know it works on the stock firmware, but you never know how much VF cripples it
