Hello everyone, I'm facing issues with my internet speed again. I recently signed up for their hybrid plan, but the router they provided is quite poor. It comes with custom firmware, which isn't ideal. The real problem is that this plan doesn't work well—my DSL router is about 30% slower on the cable connection compared to the AVM model I used before. LTE only kicks in to make up for the loss. I'm wondering if there are any better routers available that support both DSL (ITU G.993.5) and LTE (4G) bonding? I also have a ZTE H338A, and I've tested it with different models.

For downloading purposes, you could connect the ZTE to the FRITZ as a secondary WAN using simple balancing instead of bonding. I'm not sure if FRITZ supports this feature. I typically use multiple routers for WAN connections and then balance them through a pfSense device.
