Hi there!
Greetings from Madrid!
When I was few years ago living in Germany, I got a 7170 FritzBox. I've thought many times to install freezt into it, but didn't have the time until now.
The thing is, the box came with the latest firmware in german language, FRITZ.Box_Fon_WLAN_7170.29.04.87.image [1]. So, after reading the docs and so, I was able to compile and flash a Freetz based on this firmware.
The problem comes with I try to make it work with the DSL of my spanish provider. If I go to Internet » Zugangsdaten, and I try to fill the data required for the connection with the ISP, I miss some parameters. If I compare my current router configuration [2] [3], I can not set the same parameters, like service type or the encapsulaption mode. I guess, because of this, the router does not synchronize with the provider.
I was wondering, if maybe, the german firmware, comes with some default values, specific for german's ISPs, then, I would need to install the international firmware FRITZ.Box_Fon_WLAN_7170.AnnexA.en.58.04.84.image [4].
When I try to do it, the box does not start up, seems it gets stuck in some reboot bucle.
I've read a post here about changing the Firmware of the box [5] using the rukerneltool application[6], but, since I am not a german native speaker, I am not sure if it is worth it. Not sure if even the international firmware can work with the spanish provider (jazztel).
Any help/advise would be appreciated
Viele Dank!
