KitGuru: AVM FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro WiFi 7 Router Review
AVM always likes to do things a little differently from other router manufacturers. Throughout the years, we've been impressed by the company's unusual features. The AVM FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro is the second WiFi 7 router we have seen from the company, adding a tri-band radio and direct connectivity for optical fibre broadband. But it still includes some of AVM's unique telephony abilities and, on paper at least, ups the bandwidth considerably over the 7690 router we looked at a few months ago.
