AVM FRITZ Box 6690 Cable Dual-Band Gigabit Router

The FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable is a dual-band gigabit router for cable internet connections that combines DOCSIS 3.1 broadband access with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless networking. According to the manufacturer, the wireless connection reaches up to 6000 Mbps, and Wi-Fi 6 delivers strong data rates even when several devices are active at once. The cable connection supports up to 6 Gbit/s downstream and is backward compatible with EuroDOCSIS 3.0.

The back panel offers one 2.5-gigabit LAN port, three gigabit LAN ports and two USB ports. The built-in media server and FRITZ!NAS make photos, music and videos available across the home network, and the router distributes unencrypted DVB-C TV channels throughout the network, depending on your provider. Mesh Wi-Fi allows it to work together with other FRITZ! devices to extend wireless coverage across a home or office.

The integrated telephone system supports analogue and DECT phones, answering machine functions, call lists, HD telephony and fax. AVM releases free firmware updates regularly, and telephony and wireless connections are protected by a comprehensive security concept.
