It’s weird because different Fritzbox models seem to have different (or differently worded) settings and different effects. I have a 6690 Cable and the options look like this:
The Layer 2 acceleration was off by default, I turned it on a long time ago to check if it is causing issues - it doesn’t. And with hardware acceleration off, performance is killed for wifi and internet uplink.
I wrote about this here:
I agree that it’s a good idea that the OP turns this off for testing. However …

Roon support is working through the queues, they have too much work for a few people but will get to you. In the meantime, let’s check a few things, if only to rule out that they are the cause. The problems happening after the Fritzbox update may be a coincidence or it may be significant.
You have a quite similar system like I (cirrus7 Comet Lake i5, Fritzbox 6690 with 7.50).
@Axel_Lesch asked a very good question that you didn’t answer:
I would add, do you have Fritzbox mesh devices?
I ha…
