Fritz! turns the WLAN up to 7 - router party at IFA
9.9.2025
Translation: machine translated
Fritz! is setting off a firework display of routers at IFA 2025: With Wi-Fi 7, a new Pro-Box, repeaters and USB adapters, the Berlin-based company is bringing fresh speed to the network.
At IFA 2025, Fritz! (formerly AVM) is announcing a whole range of new products. The focus is on routers with support for the new Wi-Fi 7 wireless standard, but the Berlin-based company also has new repeaters and adapters in its repertoire. The firework display of products at IFA is typical for Fritz!, as it is a Berlin-based company and IFA is its in-house exhibition.

New Fritz! boxes for cable, DSL and fibre
The highlight, the Fritz!Box 6690 Pro, is designed for cable connections. Fritz! combines a DOCSIS 3.1 modem with tri-band Wi-Fi 7 (supports the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands). On the back you will find three 1 Gbit/s LAN ports and one port with 2.5 Gbit/s LAN. You can also connect the 6690 to telephones and smart home sensors via integrated DECT and Zigbee wireless modules.
The Fritz!Box 7630, on the other hand, offers Wi-Fi 7 for DSL connections. It supports multi-link operation, i.e. the parallel use of several frequencies (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz). The maximum data rates are up to 300 Mbit/s. With this, Fritz! wants to address the mid-range segment.
Meanwhile, the new 5690 XGS is being launched in the fibre sector. It is designed for XGS-PON connections, i.e. fibre optic lines with up to 10 Gbit/s, but only operates on 2.4 and 5 GHz. This box also features Wi-Fi 7, three 1 Gbit/s ports and a 10 Gbit/s interface.

(W)Lan for outdoors
But Fritz! didn't just present routers at the IFA: Three mesh-capable Fritz! repeaters were also in the mix. The large Fritz! repeater 2700 supports 4x4 MIMO on 5 GHz and offers up to 5760 Mbps and 688 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band.
The Fritz!Repeater 1700 expands the Wi-Fi 7 network if you already have a router that can't reach every corner of your home on its own. The 1700 offers 2x2 Mu-MIMO and works on 2.4 and 5 GHz (688 and 2880 Mbit/s respectively) and offers an additional 2.5 Gbit/s LAN port at the bottom. You can easily integrate it into your home network via WPS.
Last but not least, Fritz! retrofits older devices with Wi-Fi 7. Fritz! WLAN-Stick 6700 is connected to the computer via USB-A or via adapter via USB-C. With data rates of up to 2.8 Gbit/s and the additional 6 GHz band, you also have usable speed on older devices.
The manufacturer states that «information on prices and market launch» will follow at a later date.

I've been tinkering with digital networks ever since I found out how to activate both telephone channels on the ISDN card for greater bandwidth. As for the analogue variety, I've been doing that since I learned to talk. Though Winterthur is my adoptive home city, my heart still bleeds red and blue.
