Since June 2024, AVM has been bringing the most powerful DSL FRITZ!Box 7690 to market at a RRP of 329 euros. With two 2.5 GbE ports for WAN and LAN, it also fits behind fiber optic or cable Internet modems. Thanks to 4x4 dual-band WiFi-7 up to 7,200 Mbps, it can quickly distribute data, images and videos around the house. With DECT-ULE and ZIGBEE, it can control dozens of smart home devices wirelessly. Despite all the modern technology, I'm mainly testing its WiFi range here! And whether older cell phones and laptops with WiFi-4-5-6 can still cope with the brand new WiFi-7. 7690 on Amazon (advertising): https://amzn.to/4bKLtjq 00:00 Intro 01:00 VDSL up to 300 Mbps 02:28 Two 2.5 GbE ports for WAN and LAN 08:38 Two 1 GbE ports for normal LAN devices 09:10 WiFi-7 up to 7200 Mbps 10:48 Dual-band versus tri-band WiFi-7 11:59 Backwards compatible with older WLAN clients 12:37 WLAN with Zero Wait DFS 13:34 Eight antennas for good range 14:20 WLAN range of the 7690 is impressive right from the start 15:35 Range more important than WiFi-7 17:32 Five WLAN measuring points on two floors 18:03 Waiting for the first WiFi-7 laptops with MLO 19:00 Measurement tour with WiFi 7 laptop - Asus i7 with Win10 22:06 Foregoing MLO for now 23:43 Measurement tour with WiFi 6E laptop - ThinkPad i5 with Win11 26:23 Two laptops compared 26:59 WiFi cell phones from WiFi 5 to WiFi 7 27:10 Measurement tour with WiFi 7 cell phone - OnePlus 11 28:44 Measurement tour with WiFi 7 cell phone - Google Pixel 8 29:38 Measurement tour with WiFi 6E cell phone - Google Pixel 6 Pro 31:41 Measurement tour with WiFi 6 cell phone - Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 33:04 Measurement tour with WiFi 5 11ac cell phone - Sony XZ Premium 34:58 Measurement tour with WiFi 5 11ac cell phone - LG G6 36:20 All mobile devices compared 38:04 WiFi 7 desktop PCs 40:07 WiFi 6 PC – Dell workstation 40:31 WiFi 5 PC – Apple iMac 5K 27“ 41:54 WiFi 1-2-3 PC – Sony SZ-61 43:12 From 11g-2007 to 11be-2024 43:58 Power values 44:43 Other FRITZ!Box features 46:37 Conclusion: Highly practical #fritzbox #7690 #test
