22 Bought last year a $300.-- FritzBox 7490. Returned the first one because
23 it did not sync with my ISP. Returned the replacement because GRC
24 Shieldsup (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) test showed 100's of
25 open ports. FritzBox Australia claimed this is "normal" and is not a
26 security risk. The supplier refunded the purchase price, Using now a
27 $78.-- TP-Link TD-VG3631 with Voip. Not as fancy. Just works and has no
28 open ports that can't be closed.
