Cr!Box - Efficient Reconnection Tool for Fritz!Box

Cr!Box is a Chrome extension specifically developed to simplify the management of Fritz!Box routers. Crucial functions include reconnecting, querying the router's external IP, and opening the device's web interface. It incorporates visual aids, displaying the connection status via the icon itself. Over time, the functionality has been improved through SSL support, tweaks to color codes for better visibility, and enhancements to transfer statistics. It also complies with AVM's property rights and Google's branding guidelines.

User reviews
Verwende CR!Box seit Jahren und war immer zufrieden. Jetzt wird mir über Chrome mehrmals mitgeteilt, dass CR!Box nicht mehr unterstützt wird und aus Chrome entfernt werden soll. Was soll das...wie soll ich ohne CR!Box in das Menü von meiner Fritz!Box kommen...Alternativen gibt es nicht.

Seit Jahren gehe ich damit schnell und unkompliziert ins Backend. Ich hoffe, dass die Erweiterung auch weiterhin angeboten im Web Store wird.
