The Apple Airport Express works very stable
- It is not possible to buy one anymore.
Problem : other brands work very unstable.
Is it only the configuration, or did Apple use a different software ?

The Fritzbox is a DSL wireless gateway. If you are getting DSL service, then you don't need another modem. The Fritzbox would be connected directly to the DSL wall port. In turn, the PCs would connect to the Fritzbox by wireless. Sorry, but I don't know what Handys are, but I am assuming that they will connect by wireless as well.
Now what do you want to do with the AirPort Express?

Thanks for the quick answer.
At the Moment I have available
a FritzBox 7590
with the standard configuration.
what I did was only :
news and YouTube important,
TeamViewer or AnyDesk, Printer and
sensors to other PCs.
I tried also the Client Mode on the Fritz.Box
but the Problem there is, that the Speed
on the Online Monitor went up and down,
same as Router Mode, but
with the Airport it is very stable.
that is why I am wondering.
or may be I am totally wrong, in Germany I use a Cisco Modem/Router but without WiFi
that works like the Airport Express.
but I must say i did not change so much,
only my IP address for the Network.
Hardware: iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone XS, Alienware Laptop, MacBook Air, and Workstation
MSI x399 with Threadripper...
Oh sorry i forget the Modem :
I am in Korea and not able to read the letters.
I would like to connect the PCs and Handys wireless to the KT GIGA UPT Modem
The Fritzbox looks on the Online Monitor for the Network like stop and go,
and i can not acces PC's remotley well.
The Airport is may be not so fast, but very stable.
Or do I have to disconnect the KT GIGA UPT Modem
and connect the Fritzbox directly,
or do I need another Router?
If you know a better device which is adjustable
I am open for all and like to learn.
Thanks for you help so far
for all
Nothing i am very happy with the AirportExpress
Info:
(Handys are iPhone 7plus, and iPhone XS
PC's as Laptop : MacBook Air, Alienware, LG Gram
as Desktop: MSI threadripper Wokstation
OS: Windows XP, 7,10, Linux Arch/Debian, Apple )
Thank you for the gateway Information.
I connect now the Fritzbox direct without a Modem
We have here optical wire inside the Appartement.
What I did :
this speed up now the old network speed stable x 10
Thanks a lot for the perfect help :)
When you say other brands are unstable .. what brands have you tested and in what configuration??
In my experience with loads of routers you get what you pay for. If you buy cheap end stuff you do tend to get fairly low end products which tend to have little if any firmware updates or testing with multiple network configurations that are in use.
Apple designed their routers specifically to the needs and to match wireless systems and protocols used on apple devices. One in particular; namely bonjour; is most important and all the apple routers include bonjour sleep proxy (Apple TV is the other). This is not available in other routers due to its Apple exclusivity.
However since Apple no longer make routers of any sort they are more and more moving to typical windows networking protocol and setup. Some of this is still in transit so there can be issues.. but we can help you more with specifics since Apple has left the building.. and other devices now must be used. Tell us what actual problems you have and what hardware you are using.
Is your overall networking goal to continue to use your AirPort Express along with the Fritzbox wireless gateway? If so, what do you want the Express to do? Extend the Fritzbox's wireless range or just using it for AirPlay streaming? Will the Express be connected back to the Fritzbox by wire or by wireless?
