I've been a FritzBox user for about 6 months. Originally on 6.20, I'd held off upgrading to 6.30 as router upgrades have a habit of wiping out all the settings that took so long to create. My router was set to automatically install security updates, but ignore everything else. For a month or so, it just sent me reminders to upgrade.
Fritz must have changed the upgrade to security update as it was installed automatically a few weeks back. All works fine.
Does sound like a non-story though.

Been using AVM equipment since, uh, the early 1990ies? A long time, anyway. IIRC, at one point way back when they had the only ISDN cards that actually worked... so I just kept on using their gear. Never has been 'on the Fritz' so far. Good gear, good documentation - can't say anything about their support as so far I have never needed it.
