Fritz!Box 5590 Fiber - Fiber Power with Wi-Fi 6 for All Connections
The Fritz!Box 5590 Fiber offers the complete Fritz!Box functionality directly at the fiber optic connection. Thanks to interchangeable modules, the Fritz!Box 5590 Fiber is highly flexible and can be used with all common fiber optic connections in Germany. Depending on the connection type, the appropriate Fritz!SFP plug-in module can be inserted into the integrated slot for fiber optic modules. This new fiber optic flagship distributes high speeds wirelessly via Wi-Fi 6 (4 x 4) and through a 2.5-Gigabit port, which can be used as both a WAN and LAN connection. Four Gigabit LAN ports and two USB 3.0 ports complete the high-speed features.
Works with Any Connection – Thanks to Interchangeable Fiber Transceivers
In Germany, there are various fiber optic access technologies. The Fritz!Box 5590 Fiber offers a modular system for network access via fiber, prepared for the most common connection types AON (e.g., many city network operators) and GPON (Deutsche Telekom, 1&1, Deutsche Glasfaser, Vodafone, among others). The appropriate Fritz!SFP modules for AON and GPON are included in the package. Color-coded cables and sockets simplify the setup.
Innovative Wi-Fi 6 for a Home Network with Many Wi-Fi Devices
The Wi-Fi 6 standard addresses the continuously growing number of Wi-Fi devices. From smartphones to tablets, PCs, 4K TVs, and speakers, an increasing number of devices are being used simultaneously on the Wi-Fi network. By reducing latency, Wi-Fi 6 ensures a fast and stable data flow. The Fritz!Box 5590 Fiber offers a bandwidth of 2,400 MBit/s in the 5 GHz band and 1,200 MBit/s in the 2.4 GHz band for many parallel applications. With such high data throughput, Wi-Fi 6 also contributes to longer battery life for mobile devices in the home network.

Source: Digitec GalaxusWith its strong Wi-Fi performance and great features, the FritzBox 5590 Fibre wins the test. If you want even faster Wi-Fi with Wifi 7, go for the 5690 Pro - and enjoy the additional ZigBee radio, which allows you to connect and control more smart home devices. In return, you have to accept compromises in terms of telephone and USB connections...
The top FritzBox 7590, 6690 and 5590 routers are suitable for large flats and houses thanks to their powerful WLAN. With their wide range of functions, they can cope with almost all requirements. The affordable 7530 AX, 6660 and 5530 offer sufficient performance for smaller households...
The FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber is - as the name suggests - specially designed for fibre optic connections. However, it can also be used as a router for other Internet connections. However, this requires coupling with the respective modem. The set-up is very easy thanks to the excellent AVM wizard and worked straight away in our test...
The AVM Fritzbox 5590 Fiber is a clear recommendation if you are looking for a powerful WLAN router with a fibre optic modem. On the one hand, because there is hardly any competition with this equipment feature anyway. On the other hand, because it is better suited for a large home network than its smaller fibre-optic sister Fritzbox 5530 due to its high speed and extensive features...
... The higher performance is also reflected in the fast reactions of the user interface. However, our throughput measurements only showed smaller gains compared to the 5530. The reason: Wi-Fi 6 clients are still limited to 2x2 MIMO. The 5590 can only really turn up the heat when it supplies many end devices at the same time. The power consumption remains within limits.
