Verdict

The AVM FRITZ!Box 7590 AX is a high-end dual-band modem router featuring Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, delivering speeds of up to 2,400 Mbit/s on the 5 GHz band and 1,200 Mbit/s on the 2.4 GHz band. 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, along with two analogue and one ISDN telephony port. Main pros include its extensive all-in-one functionality as a telephone exchange and NAS, robust FRITZ!OS software with regular updates, and reliable Mesh Wi-Fi integration. However, notable cons include its relatively high price point, USB 3.0 ports that may underperform in actual data transfer speeds, and a bulky design compared to non-telephony routers.
