About this deal

The only issue we encountered was that some of the processes inevitably lead to updates and reboots of the router. When these reboots occur, the wizard stops working because the phone can connect to another WiFi service. The 7590 AX has expanded vertically over its predecessor and has a more pleasant shape that’s reminiscent of telecoms hardware from the 1990s. Note:You can also use FRITZ!App WLAN to establish the Wi-Fi connection by pointing the camera on the device at the QR code displayed under "Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Channel" ("Wireless > Radio Network") in the user interface.

AVM also has a side line in Fritz!-branded smart home devices including smart plugs, and smart radiator thermostats. While these aren’t as well known in the UK as brands like Honeywell and Hive, if you’re keen on being able to control your heating and cut down on bills, there’s the option to do that and control everything via your router. Apps Many router makers, Netgear being a prime example, want customers to use a mobile application to configure a router for deployment. The downsides of this approach are that it assumes the installation application is compatible with the phone or tablet of the customer and that the services it links to across the Internet are available. While it’s taken some time for AVM to get from the vanilla 7590 to the AX version, they revamped this equipment once the problem was realised, and this model has ventilation slots entirely covering the underside.It's not bad, by any means, but middling Wi-Fi performance puts all those additional extras (and the 7590's pretty high price) into perspective if you're not going to take full advantage of them. If you are looking for a professional VPN that won’t break the bank, Surfshark is an outstanding option. With Surfshark you get servers in over 100 countries Under "Networks" tap the name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) of the FRITZ!Box. If the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network is not displayed, follow the steps in our guide FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network cannot be found. Please note: To support VoIP through your FRITZ!Box you will need a supported IP voice / Digital Voice service. Other features Credit to AVM for building a router that, like its forebears, doesn't look like any other router out there, but its visual appeal is questionable at best. Final verdict

Getting the most from this requires an AC client that can utilise more than one channel or enough devices to use up the available bandwidth across the available spectrum. Generally speaking, speeds recorded using a number of devices were very good, and coverage, especially on devices with Wi-Fi 6 radios, was also great, better than some other Wi-Fi 6 hardware I’ve tested.But make no mistake, this isn’t a whole-home mesh system without those repeaters. Our test environment only has 100+ Mbit broadband, and it was possible to get all of this speed with the 5GHz channel when two walls and a single floor away from the router. The Fritz!Box is available in a wide range of models, but none of those are compatible with consumer VPNs. This leaves you with two options; either use VPN software on each individual device in your home; or use an additional router with DD-WRT or Tomato firmware that is connected to your Fritz!Box.As Fritz!Box VPN services cannot be loaded directly onto your router or modem, we have listed services that offer apps and software for the following devices: Tap the connection that displays the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) of the FRITZ!Box. If the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network is not displayed, follow the steps in our guide FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network cannot be found. Router compatibility - This allows you to install the VPN and connect at the router level. Unfortunately, you cannot install a VPN onto a FritzBox directly. That means you will need to install it on a separate router and link that router to your FritzBox. You will now be able to access the internet via your Fritz!Box. This will ensure that your data is encrypted between your device and the VPN server. However, please remember that the VPN is localized and will only provide the VPN services (location spoofing and encryption) on the device where it is installed. What features must a Fritz!Box VPN have? For those that merely want a solid AC2400 router, there are cheaper options, but they don’t come with all the telephone functionality or the flexibility of the Fritz!Box 7590 AX.
