DECT handset pairing? Easy to use yet still powerful web interface? Multiple VoIP account support, including T.38 fax codec? Act as a SIP server itself so you can attach local devices to it and call "locally" as well as outgoing and incoming? Be an answering machine for both fax and voice via landline and VoIP? VPN support? Multiple antenna split wifi so g and n don't affect each other? QoS that actually works, instead of being a piece of crap like most DSL modems? Only a single device, instead of having to have multiple devices? USB disk and printer sharing? I don't think I've even covered the whole feature set there.
I'm sure you *can* get everything the Fritz!box does by buying several devices and managing them separately - whether the RouterBoard or others. The point is that having everything in the one box with an actually nice to use but still powerful web config and status interface is, well, easier, lower power and more convenient.
Of course, if you *prefer* to have separate devices, there's nothing wrong with that either, let me make that clear. :-)
