Overview

The FRITZ!Box 7690 is a DSL modem router from AVM that supports Wi-Fi 7 over dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz, without 6 GHz. It includes a built-in VDSL/ADSL2+ modem, 4 Ethernet ports with speeds up to 2.5 Gbps, and telephony features including a DECT base and analogue phone ports.

Who it suits

This router is suited to households on VDSL or ADSL broadband who want a single box handling internet, Wi-Fi, and home telephony. It also fits users who want DECT cordless phone support and analogue phone connections alongside their network setup.

Reasons to consider it

It combines a DSL modem with Wi-Fi 7 on dual-band, 4 Ethernet ports rated up to 2.5 Gbps, and wired backhaul support for mesh expansion. The built-in DECT base for up to six handsets and dual analogue phone ports add telephony functions without extra hardware.

Limitations and compatibility checks

There is no 6 GHz band, so Wi-Fi 7 features tied to that spectrum are not available here. It lacks PoE, and mesh expansion is limited to AVM's own FRITZ! Mesh ecosystem, meaning it won't interoperate with other brands' mesh systems.
