AVM FRITZ!Box 7590 AX Modem router: UK Prices and Specs

Overview

The AVM FRITZ!Box 7590 AX is a DSL modem router with Wi-Fi 6 support on dual-band (2.4 + 5 GHz), built-in VDSL modem (up to 300 Mbit/s with supervectoring and ADSL2+), and a DECT base for up to six cordless phone handsets. It has 5 Ethernet ports rated at 1 Gbps and supports wired backhaul.

Who it suits

It is suited to DSL households that want a single box combining modem, Wi-Fi 6 router, and telephony with DECT handset support. It also suits users who want wired backhaul options alongside Wi-Fi, given the 5 onboard Ethernet ports.

Reasons to consider it

It includes a built-in VDSL modem covering supervectoring and ADSL2+, so no separate modem is needed on compatible DSL lines. The 5 Ethernet ports at 1 Gbps and wired backhaul support give flexibility for wired connections, and the DECT base lets it handle up to six cordless phone handsets directly.

Limitations and compatibility checks

There is no 6 GHz band, so it is limited to dual-band Wi-Fi 6 rather than Wi-Fi 6E or 6 GHz speeds. It also lacks PoE, and it ties into AVM's own FRITZ! Mesh ecosystem, which will not interoperate with mesh systems from other brands.
