Fritzbox is a shit show. Their router is not yours (no access to the OS). Their router only works with their DECT telephone (ask me how i found out). Fritz is the Microsoft of internet access in Germany.

I've had no issues pairing a DECT phone from a different vendor with a FRITZ!Box, so that's not true.

The DECT limitation is not true. I have it paired with a Gigaset.

Pairing works. No Contacts or phone log though.
