VDSL Supervectoring and intelligent high-end WLAN
The FRITZ! 7590 from AVM is the first router with VDSL Supervectoring and innovative WLAN in 4x4 multi-user MIMO technology. The high-end WLAN provides even more range and significantly higher speeds of up to 2,533 Mbps. VDSL Supervectoring with up to 300 MBit/s Internet speed makes the FRITZ!Box 7590 ready for all current and future broadband connection requirements. The FRITZ! 7590 Box connects all computers, smartphones, tablets, printers and other network-compatible devices to the home network with the usual convenience. Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0 and the telephone system with DECT base station and connections for ISDN and analogue telephones complete the versatile communication offer.
High-end WLAN AC+N with 1,733 + 800 Mbps
The extended multi-antenna method (4x4 multi-user MIMO) enables an optimal connection to several WLAN devices used simultaneously. At the same time, the FRITZ! box transmits in parallel in the 2.4 GHz (WLAN N) and 5 GHz (WLAN AC) frequency bands thanks to dual WLAN, which means that two WLAN networks can actually be provided and data rates of up to 2,533 Mbit/s can be achieved in total. Broadband intensive applications can thus be used in parallel operation and on several WLAN devices - without loss of speed and stability. Multi-user MIMO further increases data throughput in the home network and WLAN devices that also support MU-MIMO benefit from maximum speed through simultaneous data transfer.
Telephony options for every requirement
Analog and ISDN telephones as well as up to six DECT cordless telephones (e.g. FRITZ!Fon) can be registered at the integrated PBX. WLAN also turns smartphones into full-fledged landline/VoIP phones. Several integrated answering machines, local and online telephone books and numerous convenience functions complete the wide range of telephony services offered by the FRITZ!Box 7590. smarthome devices such as the switchable FRITZ!DECT 200 socket can also be controlled via the DECT base station.
Versatile multimedia functions
The FRITZ! box brings all connected USB memory as well as online memory and contents stored on it into the home network. Thanks to the integrated media server with NAS connection, stored films, music and images are made available and can be distributed to playback devices via tablet or smartphone, for example. USB 3.0 ensures extra fast data transfer. The FRITZ!box 7590 is a powerful platform for networked multimedia applications such as IPTV, video on demand or streaming. Thanks to several Eco-Mode automatisms, the FRITZ! 7590 always remains very economical in consumption.
Does not work on CH-DSL connections, can only be used as a router.

10. AVM FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber
Fibre optic power with fast Wi-Fi 6
The FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber offers the complete FRITZ!Box functionality directly on the fibre optic connection. Thanks to interchangeablefibre optic modules, the FRITZ!Box 5530 can be used very flexibly on all standard fibre optic connections in Germany with up to 1,000 Mbps (AON or GPON); media converters or upstream modems are no longer necessary. Depending on the connection type, the appropriate FRITZ! SFP plug-in module can be inserted into the integrated slot for fibre optic modules in SFP format. The FRITZ!Box 5530 is equipped with the new Wi-Fi 6 to distribute the gigabit speed wirelessly throughout the home. A 2.5 Gigabit LAN connection rounds off the high-speed equipment.
Runs on any connection - thanks to interchangeable fibre optic transceivers
There are various fibre optic access technologies in Germany. The FRITZ!Box 5530 offers a modular system for network access via fibre optics, which is prepared for the two most common connection types AON (e.g. many city network operators) and GPON (Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Glasfaser, Vodafone, etc.). The appropriate FRITZ! SFP modules are included in the scope of delivery.
Innovative Wi-Fi 6 (WLAN AX) for a home network with many WLAN end devices
The Wi-Fi 6 standard takes account of the constantly growing number of Wi-Fi devices. From smartphones, tablets, PCs, 4K televisions and speakers to smart lamps, more and more devices are being used simultaneously in the Wi-Fi network. By reducing latency times, Wi-Fi 6 ensures a fast and stable data flow. A total bandwidth of 2,400 MBit/s in the 5 GHz band and 600 MBit/s in the 2.4 GHz band is available for many parallel applications. With the high data throughputs, Wi-Fi 6 also ensures longer battery life for mobile devices in the home network.
Powerful as a WLAN mesh centre
As a Wi-Fi Mesh centre, the FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber is prepared for the highest demands in the home network. In the WLAN Mesh, distributed WLAN nodes (e.g. FRITZ!Box and several FRITZ!Repeaters) are combined into a single intelligent WLAN network. The FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber forms the centre of the FRITZ! mesh and actively controls all other access points so that Wi-Fi end devices used in the home network are always logged on to the access point with the best connection (Wi-Fi Mesh Steering).
Telephony options for every requirement
The integrated VoIP telecommunications system has a connection for an analogue telephone and a DECT base station for up to six cordless telephones (e.g. all FRITZ!Fon models). IP telephones and smartphones also become fully-fledged telephones on the connection via WLAN. With an integrated answering machine, local and online directories and numerous convenient functions, telephony leaves nothing to be desired - even in a professional environment. The FRITZ!Box also uses DECT radio to control smart home devices such as the FRITZ!DECT 200 and 210 switchable sockets and the FRITZ!DECT 301/302 smart radiator controllers.
