During IFA 2023, AVM presented the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro, a router that looms as one of the German company’s most important innovations and is directly positioned as a next-generation premium solution capable of offering high level of performance and great versatility at the level of wireless and cable connection.

We have already seen its key specifications in previous articles, but today we want to focus on a more detailed review of its features and in analyze what benefits and improvements they will bring to users. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments and we’ll help you out.

The FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro is, as I said before, a top router. This is clearly seen from the moment we start reviewing its specifications, as it is compatible with WiFi 7a new generation standard and is able to offer speed up to 11.53 Gbps in the 6 GHz band. Stay tuned, we’re talking speeds that double what other current high-performance routers are able to get.

Whenever we talk about wireless transfer speeds in Wi-Fi networks, we refer to theoretical maximums, but these are important because the higher they are. the higher the actual performance levels will be which we get in different scenarios.

The FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro is capable of working in three bands simultaneously. In the 2.4 GHz band it can reach 1200 Mbps under Wi-Fi 6, while in the 5 GHz band it reaches 5760 Mbps under Wi-Fi 7 and in the 6 GHz band it reaches that 11.53 Gbps under Wi-Fi 7, you know they said about it. All this means that we are earlier a tri-band router capable of offering a very high level of performance in any of these three bands.

At the wireless level, the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro is one of the most advanced, complete and powerful solutions out there, but Cable connection options are not left behind, because it is compatible with GPON optical standards at a maximum speed of 2.5 Gbps, AON up to 1 Gbps, it supports DSL with 35b super vectoring up to 300 Mbps, and it can be used in an optical fiber modem (ONT) operating at a maximum of 2 . 5 Gbps.

As if all of the above wasn’t enough, this router integrates DECT, IP/SIP telephony and also an analog telephone connection (FXS). It is ready for integrate into a smart home without problems thanks to its compatibility with DECT ULE and Zigbee and it has a USB 3.1 port that we can use to create our personal cloud if we connect an external storage unit.

Undoubtedly, a very complete router full of options, which has become one of the most important new products of AVM. Still we don’t know its selling price we don’t even have an exact release date.
