I think it is highly unlikely that anyone does. No matter how poor the Mitrastar router may be, there is probably little to no demand for replacing it. AVM doesn't sell "routers designed to replace <anything>" nor does Zyxel, they design/manufacture/sell _standard_ equipment.
Well, with ADSL they did. The router I bought back them had a wizard that asked what ISP I had, and configured itself accordingly.
Wow. Somehow I don't imagine that to have worked with 100 different providers. Even today with only 20 (xdsl) it seems a bit of a stretch.
But even if they don't do autoconfiguration, the hardware itself does not exist. It has to be a router with a fibre input. It must have WiFi, support VoIP and have a phone output, and the typical ethernet outputs.
Well, no, it does not _have_ to. Putting it all in the same box is for consumer convenience (or lock-in). Besides, the hardware _does_ exist - the Fritz!box 5530 that Freek already mentioned, for instance. It even has DECT and a small PABX. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.0°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
