The amount of detail on the Fritz!Box is definitely better than on the Zyxel XMG-3927, I operate both of them (although not as a bridge). In terms of speed, I can't tell, I only used them for a short time on the same line, and the Fritz!Box was a bit faster (But the line was so bad that g.fast didn't provide more total throughput than VDSL2). > > Anybody has any positive/negative experiences and/or other > > recommendations? > > As the FRITZ!Box is a bit overkill, some people mentionned instead > the use of SFP/GBIC converters, but I did not try yet. As far as I know, some or all of them (at least the one which Swisscom delivered as an upgrade to their Internet-Box plus) need special support by the device/router they are plugged in. Therefore you can't just plug them into your switch and connect your router to the switch through ethernet. As a side note, g.fast is very picky about your line quality, optimize _everything_ on the cable connection inside your building which is not part of swisscoms infrastructure. One direct, short, high quality cable from the HüP to an RJ45 plug (no bridged tap), and a short, high quality cable from there to your modem. I you don't get the speed you should by a large margin, complain to Swisscom through your provider. I did so, and in the end Swisscom replaced an old, out of spec landline cable (the outdoor type, where birds can sit on :-) ). Of course, we would all like to have real fiber connections.
