It's a DSL router, so even if I had an ER, it wouldn't help. I was able to log in to the thing and am now increasing my German vocabulary as I look for port filtering.
If it is even doing it on the device, could be somewhere else.

That has nothing to do with what he said.

It does, my point was that replacing the device he can see mights till not fix things, since the blocking might be at the other end of the WAN link.

No. Your words.

No one said or implied that it was doing anything on the device. you are raising a red herring.
He clearly said he now had access to the device and was looking for the settings.
Additionally, he stated that it is a DSL router. This means DSL modem + Router. You cannot exchange that with an ERL if he even wanted to, as the ERL is a router only and not a DSL modem.

Your point is correct, everyone knows that by replacing the router it could potentially make the problem go away or at verify that the router is not the problem. I am not arguing that. But I am arguing how you think you got to that point.

It is correct that I can't replace the device since it's a DSL modem as well as router. Also looking at this page, it's not clear to me if Fritz box is intentionally blocking VoIP ports, or if it's a side effect of them offering the service.

So the issue is that your computer is.... on the Fritz?

I was responding to what I thought. He mentioned that he couldn't replace that device. And I pointed out that because if there is that filtering going on it's possible to be at the other end of the WAN rather than his end. More likely his, but not certain. A lot of smaller carriers in Europe have their own last mile gear and can filter along the path. For example, in Italy, even with a DSL connection, the DSL originated in my house AND terminated there. It connected to a wireless link next door.

But nothing in any of that text implies that "it is even doing it on the device"
You cannot have it both ways. Your tear the fuck out of people for using the wrong words and responding to someone's words in a way other than what has been wrote.

He was talking about replacing the existing device for the purpose of hopefully removing the filtering with the presumption or hope that that was teh location where it was happening.

Nope, read from the top. First mention of port blocking was in the OP. First mention of replacing the gear was by the OP in this one:
