Your mothers existing iPhone 16e case should fit the new iPhone 17e perfectly and I had read similar also about 16e and issues with C1 modem on the Apple discuss forums.

FYI – Apple C1 modem is Apples first attempt at their own In-House modem as they was using Qualcomm previously and its not going to well.

At least the new 17e will be using the C1X modems (Apple) so will be interesting if the bugs have been fixed.

Note: my iPhone 16 pro uses the Qualcomm modem and works flawlessly.

 

let us know how it goes

Welcome and always the way, is the TP‑Link outside unit (likely a CPE or access point) set up to connect via wifi or ethernet cable back to your main Fritz!box ?

The pictures seems to show an ethernet cable going from the TP-Link AP to a wall port and if so, maybe worth plugging the TP-Link unit directly into a spare ethernet ports on the rear of the Fritz!box with a spare ethernet cable to see if that works directly ?

Also, is the phone working as that would give us a clue, the Fon/Dect LED on your Fritz!box does not seem to be on ?

So I have had the ASUS RT-BE92U plugged in for 30 days and only have noticed 2 issues, the first is that certain wifi devices (apple) connected at range (weak signal) lose access to the internet for a few seconds at random interviews and then this repeats a few minuites later, especially my iPhone 16 Pro when I’m at one end of the house streaming music etc.

Logs below does seem to show a weak signal caused a brief disconnect from internet and then re-establishes itself back to a stronger signal even though device does not move. This appears to be a general broadcom / band-steering issue and/or Wi‑Fi fading due to inactivity and power save interaction with iPhone and other wifi devices.

The second issue I’ve noticed is AP Isolation or Guest Network isolation doesn’t work as expected, including situations where devices on a guest SSID are still able to “see” or communicate with each other and with main network devices.

I can adjust Channel bandwidth etc. to improve connectivity but hopefully something ASUS and Broadcom can improve upon over time and it will be interesting to see if they do, alas I am running ASUSWRT-Merlin (3006.102.6) so cannot send feedback to ASUS currently.

FWIW: I have not had this issue with previous ASUS routers.
