Obviously the fritzbox does not distribute multiple IPs to a single MAC address. There is actually a configuration option "bridge" in the fritzbox configuration menu but it`s faded out for the fonera, no clue how to change this. I'm now using the fonera in wifi-mode (not bridge) and I've added an additional route on the fritzbox to the fonera subnet, and that works just fine as well, so finally I'm also happy with this solution. Thanks again, Chris
