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.
