... In the test lab, the Fritzbox 5530 Fiber shows the maximum data throughputs that can be expected from its WLAN configuration. We measured a maximum of 698 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz band and 434 Mbit/s in the 2.4 GHz band. However, the data rates decrease relatively quickly with increasing attenuation (and thus greater simulated distance to the WLAN client) on 5 GHz...
The Fritz Box 5530 Fiber is a mid-range device for a top connection. Although it is suitable for the fastest and most reliable internet connections, it is weak in some areas. Compared to AVM's top models, for example, the WLAN range is quite low.
