Verdict

Three bands set the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro apart: 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz add up to a combined 18,520 Mbps. It connects to fibre through the bundled GPON and AON SFP modules or to a DSL line with supervectoring 35b. Four Gigabit LAN ports and a 2.5 Gbps WAN port cover the wired side. No LAN port exceeds 1 Gbps, which limits fast NAS transfers. A USB port, 128 MB of RAM and a DECT base for six cordless phones round out the hardware. Zigbee and DECT ULE bring smart home devices into the network. Mesh is built in, and WPA3 and WPA2 secure the wireless side. At 1.46 kg and a premium price, it targets large homes with fibre or DSL and many wireless devices. Antennas are internal.
