If you want or need that, you shouldn’t be looking at consumer products. I can configure wifi, ethernet and guest wlan and an additional set of public ipv4s , which is more than enough for end users. Anything more and it becomes too hard to manage and understand, and results in insecure setups. I built infrastructure for a living and I find Fritzes more than good enough for residential connections and they work extremely well, 7581 excepted, those were godawful crap.
You should definitely not go along with that fiber exception, I have a gigabit fiber connection where I can hook up basically anything that adheres to standards and regulations, and my ISP has been a strong proponent of that too.
What’s your point exactly? Besides telling me I shouldn’t use AVM hardware?
I’m not using AVM products, as they don’t fit my requirements (e.g. network segregation). Ubiquiti makes decent prosumer hardware with their Unifi line and I’m quite happy with their offerings.
An AVM user asked for potential use cases that FritzBoxes aren’t covering and I provided one.
network segregation. setting up vnets and rulesets for guests, iot or dmz and deploy them site-wide to all switches.

We just don’t want to be limited to fritz. You might be ok with the limited options but many are not. We should not allow the fiber exception here.
