FritzBox reset disable
Hi all,
ist it possible to disable the reset possibilities like "Passwort vergessen" or using a telephone on analog port1 or the builtin DECT and the keypad function? A customer of mine is exptecting exactly this because he wants to keep renting out his house to tourists. So far he had his FritzBox (7490) reset 4 times before the people moved out and of course they complained that they had no internet even though it was part of the contract. Wireless is a must and he is already using a "Gast Netztwerk". His thought now is that it must be possible to disable the LAN ports (besides using sikaflex or desoldering them from the mainboard). What options are possible? No, the FritzBox will and can not be put in a safe or a hidden place or locked away. Additional access points are a no go and it must possible to reset the box using a LAN port at any time if he wishes to do so, but guests are not allowed to.
Any options available?
Regards

Moin,
Just use regular Access Points and and a voucher system like the one, that @aqui drescribes in WLAN oder LAN Gastnetz einrichten mit einem Captive Portal (Hotspot Funktion).

PS: And lock that fritzbox in a wooden box, so the guest have no access to it.

Ah very nicely done and looks very interesting but the landlord just told me that he will not buy or use additional / extra equipment. He says he has tried so many options in the last 2 years and spent nearly 2 K on all types of hardware and every time it was possible to reset his equipment. He is now demanding a solution.Just use regular Access Points and and a voucher system like the one, that @aqui drescribes in
And i'm demanding, that some give me a million bucks.
Just get a microtik hAP an lock this thing in a box, so that noone can press the reset button. If you set an adequate password, noone will reset that box to default settings.

I would rather suggest to let the flat without internet access.

From a financial point of view this might of course be the better solution, kudos

You mean that unlike the FritzBox without knowledge of the pw you can not just say "Passwort vergessen" and klick reset to defaults afer you pull he power cord and logging into the box again within 5 minutes after restart? The resetbutton can be disabled or even scraped from the mikrotik board?On Mikrotiks, iirc, you van only reset the box via GUI to factory settings, if you know the admin password. Otherwise you hav to press the reset button. which can be disabled either by using som hot glue or just disabling phyical access to the box.
Or you use just an acccess point, which allows Internet acces in its default config, when you just hook it up to a router on an Ethernet line. So the router has not to be physically accessible.

You should poitn out the home use.

But additional access point - he is not excited nor really willing to accept - he just answered in a mail. He also questioned the phone topic and guest network settings and that this mikrotik would then replace the FritzBox then so that only one piece of equipment is required - not 2 or 3... His FritzBox is running smoothly and does everything to his satisfaction - except that it can be very simply reset without knowledge of the password on LAN 1-3 or Wireless or analog phone on port1 or DECT phones. He just wants this reset possibilty taken away...
I really have a hard time to believe or acknowledge that there is not one single room where he can lock up the FritzBox?!But additional access point - he is not excited nor really willing to accept - he just answered in a mail.

Everything is always open. He is saying that if you loose the key you will have to break in which again leads to heavy costs for repir or new.
