The exchange of the fully functional router via Vodafone was also not a problem.
I am an existing Vodafone customer and use the old one Vodafone station. After Computerbase reported there was now a new Vodafone station with Wi-Fi 6, I called customer service and asked for a replacement. This was possible without any problems.

There were no exchange fees for the ComputerBase reader, nor was a contract extension necessary. The old Vodafone station with Wi-Fi 5 only had to be sent back to Vodafone within 12 days.
