Verdict

The AVM FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber is a compact Wi-Fi 6 router designed for direct connection to any fiber optic network via an integrated SFP cage, supporting AON, GPON, and XGS-PON standards with speeds up to 3,000 Mbit/s. It features a high-performance 2.5-gigabit LAN port alongside two gigabit ports, a DECT base station for up to six cordless phones, and supports intelligent Mesh technology for seamless home coverage. Main pros include its versatile fiber compatibility, user-friendly FRITZ!OS with regular security updates, and a generous five-year warranty; however, notable cons include a lack of USB ports, limited physical connectivity options compared to higher-end models, and reports of the device and SFP modules getting quite warm during operation.
