Verdict

The AVM FRITZ!Box 7590 is a high-end dual-band DSL modem router featuring 4x4 MU-MIMO Wireless AC+N technology that delivers speeds up to 1,733 Mbit/s on the 5 GHz band and 800 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz. It supports VDSL supervectoring 35b for internet speeds up to 300 Mbit/s and includes an integrated DECT base station for up to six cordless phones, alongside four Gigabit LAN ports, two USB 3.0 ports, and dedicated ISDN and analogue telephony connections. Main pros include its exceptionally comprehensive FRITZ!OS software, versatile all-in-one telephony and Smart Home integration, and a five-year manufacturer warranty. However, notable cons include relatively slow USB data transfer speeds for NAS use, a lack of Wi-Fi 6 support in the original non-AX model, and a tendency for the unit to run quite warm during intensive operation.
