Source: Digitec GalaxusThe FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro is undoubtedly the most powerful model AVM has ever built. Wi-Fi 7 with the 6 GHz band, an integrated dual modem for DSL and fibre, Zigbee for the smart home and the familiar FRITZ! convenience – this is an impressive all-round package that leaves little to be desired...
The FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro is an excellent choice for users who value flexibility, future-proofing and strong Wi-Fi performance.
