Verdict

The AVM FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber is a high-end, all-in-one fiber optic router featuring a built-in SFP slot that supports AON, GPON, and XGS-PON standards for direct FTTH connections. It delivers powerful Wi-Fi 6 performance with dual-band speeds up to 3,600 Mbps (2,400 Mbps on 5 GHz and 1,200 Mbps on 2.4 GHz) and includes a versatile 2.5 Gigabit WAN/LAN port alongside four Gigabit LAN ports and two USB 3.0 ports. Key advantages include its seamless Mesh Wi-Fi integration, a comprehensive integrated telephone system with a DECT base for six cordless phones, and the feature-rich FRITZ!OS. However, potential drawbacks include its relatively high price point, large physical footprint compared to standard routers, and some reports of complex initial setup depending on specific ISP credentials.
