Oh here is my chance to complain about this pet peeve! My provider gives you a Fritzbox with you subscription, I called them a few times that they should use their mass-purchase leverage to demand better functionality but of course the poor support people couldn't make that happen even if they understood what I was getting at :) Fritzboxen are praised across the internet as great routers, but they won't even let you
- change the default host name suffix
- assign static host names for internal use
- see which device uses how much bandwidth (only the total - yeah great, now I have to hunt for which machine/mobile is uploading all those photos to dropbox)
- block machines from the network, and/or throttle bandwidth. It looks like you can do it, but the implementation is useless - yes you can prioritize smtp over http, hurrah! Everything bandwidth-hungry in 2015 goes over http, and then it's all-or-nothing on fritzbox.
