Fritzbox 5690 Pro, XGS & 6860 5G: AVM shows new routers with Wi-Fi 7, 5G and 10G-LAN
AVM used the run-up to the MWC 2023 industry event in Barcelona this year to present new routers – depending on the model with WiFi 7, tri-band mesh, fiber optics, VDSL, 5G mobile communications and 10 Gigabit LAN.
Fritz!Box 5690 Pro: The fiber optic DSL combi router
The Fritz!Box 5690 Pro is the successor to the Fritz!Box 5590 Fiber, which was presented at MWC 2022. For the first time, the new high-end Fritz!Box offers both fiber optics and VDSL in combination and is therefore suitable for all fiber optic and DSL connections, especially those with both technologies. In addition, it already offers Wi-Fi 7 and thus also the 6 GHz frequency band for the fast transmission of large amounts of data. With tri-band mesh, faster communication to other mesh access points in the network is also part of the game, and thanks to the 2.5 Gbit/s LAN connection, there is also a fast connection with a cable. In addition, Zigbee offers a widespread smart home protocol.

Fritz!Box 6860 5G – the new 5G router
After AVM presented the Fritz!Box 6850 5G, which has been available since 2021, four years ago, the Fritz!Box 6860 5G is the successor. This is compatible with all 5G and LTE bands commonly used in Europe and makes them available via Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit LAN. In addition, the power supply is now available via Power over Ethernet, so that no separate power pack is required wherever there is a (compatible) LAN.
