Third-party reviews

What customers like about AVM FRITZ!Box 7510

  • Integrated VDSL2 modem with supervectoring 35b up to 300 Mbps
  • Wi-Fi 6 with WPA3 encryption
  • Mesh master for FRITZ! repeaters
  • DECT base for up to six cordless phones
  • USB port for a printer or shared drive
  • Media server for tablets, TVs and HiFi systems

What customers don't like about AVM FRITZ!Box 7510

  • 2.4 GHz band only, no 5 GHz
  • Wi-Fi speed capped at 600 Mbps
  • Single Gigabit LAN port
  • One internal antenna only

Verdict

The FRITZ!Box 7510 brings Wi-Fi 6 to a DSL line with an integrated VDSL2 modem, so one unit replaces both modem and router. Wireless runs on the 2.4 GHz band only, at up to 600 Mbps. Anyone in a crowded flat will miss a 5 GHz radio straight away. There is a single Gigabit LAN port, which is tight for a desk with several wired devices. A USB port serves a printer or shared drive, and the DECT base handles up to six cordless phones. The box also works as a mesh master and supports WPA3. VDSL supervectoring 35b reaches 300 Mbps, which covers most DSL lines. This mid-range model suits a small home on DSL that wants simple telephony and a tidy setup. It is a poor match for fibre or busy 5 GHz networks.
