Hi, this needs to be updated, the new two-box Freebox has been around for several months now... oh, and my experience is that it is not erratic at all, but then I am in central Paris.

Quality of wifi?

[edit]

I'm currently visiting france and have stayed in two apartments with v.5 boxes. In both cases it seems the wifi router can only cope with one device at a time. Any info available on issues with DHCP server? I don't see any mention of this problem on the french version of the page either, but since I see it on two different v.5 boxes I feel like it may be due to the hardware... comments anyone? 88.176.26.42 (talk) 09:23, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By default the Freebox v5 was in bridging mode, effectively only allowing one internal host at a time, and exposing it on Internet with a public address.. (good luck with that) On the Freebox v6, NAT is the default mode and yours hosts are assigned private addresses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:2433:9330:D4E6:E02:73E7:4BE3 (talk) 07:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
