Freifunk is looking for the FRITZ! Box

At the last Jour-fix appointment, an informal meeting of the board of the Gewerbeverein Babenhausen eV with mayor Achim Knoke and economic development agency Sylvia Kloetzel, the topic of Freifunk in Babenhausen was also discussed. It goes without saying that it is a part of the quality of life (especially for the younger generation) if you can use the free WiFi while you are out and about in Babenhausen.

Due to an update of the software of the Freifunk operator, it is foreseeable that we will probably soon no longer be able to use a couple of routers installed in Babenhausen for Freifunk, since the installed devices no longer “take part” in this update.

So there will be failures here. Of course, we are already working on finding a solution. However, some routers could easily be replaced by a FRITZ! Box 4040 or 4020, which would significantly reduce the cost of purchasing new routers. Possible models that can also be used in Freifunk are FRITZ! WLAN Repeater 300E and 450 E.

Therefore we would like to ask you – if you have perhaps recently replaced your old FRITZ! Box in order to get more performance by purchasing a new one – to provide us with your “old but still functional FRITZ! Box” so that we can use it for Freifunk in Babenhausen support.

Please sit down with us Management@Gewerbeverein-Babenhausen.de or simply hand in the still functioning Fritz boxes at the town hall (for the attention of Achim Knoke).

Thanks for your support!
