The FRITZ!Box 6690 Pro: All-in-one package for cable connections
The highlight of this year’s trade fair appearance is the FRITZ!Box 6690 Pro. As the world’s first cable router with tri-band Wi-Fi 7, it combines speeds of up to 12 Gbit/s with an integrated DOCSIS modem. In addition to the enormous Wi-Fi performance, the device offers comprehensive smart home support via Zigbee and DECT-ULE. There are also proven FRITZ! functions such as VPN, parental control and a media server, making the box the central hub for modern digital households. Thanks to multi-link operation (MLO), users also benefit from low latency and stable connections, even for data-intensive applications such as gaming or 4K streaming.
A portfolio for fiber optics, DSL and mobile communications
In addition to cable customers, FRITZ! is also aimed at users of other network technologies. The FRITZ! Box 5690 XGS, 5690 Pro and 5690 models are available for fiber optics. They support GPON, AON and XGS-PON up to 10 GBit/s and are equipped with powerful Wi-Fi and versatile smart home and telephony functions. For DSL users, the new FRITZ!Box 7630 offers an affordable introduction to Wi-Fi 7, while the FRITZ!Box 4630 is specially designed for households with a fiber optic modem. Mobile communications also remains an issue: the FRITZ! Box 6825 4G delivers up to 300 Mbit/s via LTE and is suitable as a compact travel companion. FRITZ! thus covers all types of access – from high-speed fiber optics to cable and mobile solutions.
Range and stability: Wi-Fi 7 repeaters and mesh sets
FRITZ! is also presenting new Wi-Fi 7 repeaters so that the new speeds can be used throughout the home. The 1700 and 2700 models increase coverage in apartments and houses and can be used flexibly as a mesh extension. They are complemented by the FRITZ! Mesh Sets 1700 and 2700, which combine router and repeater to ensure seamless transitions and consistently high speed in all rooms. For outdoor use, the FRITZ! repeater 1610 Outdoor is a robust, weatherproof model with Wi-Fi 6 that is operated via Power-over-Ethernet.
Smart Home and FRITZ!OS 8.20
In addition to network technology, FRITZ! is placing a clear focus on smart home and energy efficiency at IFA 2025. With the new FRITZ! Smart Energy 201 socket, consumers can be conveniently controlled and monitored. FRITZ!OS 8.20, which offers improved energy statistics, optimized Wi-Fi mesh management and extended Zigbee and Matter integration, will be rolled out at the same time. A special feature is “FRITZ! Failsafe”, which is designed to ensure an uninterrupted connection even in the event of router problems. In the smart home area of the trade fair stand, visitors can experience these innovations live and see for themselves the extended application possibilities in everyday life.
Conclusion
With its broad product portfolio at IFA 2025, FRITZ! demonstrates just how versatile modern home networks can be today. From high-speed fiber optics and Wi-Fi 7 to energy-efficient smart home solutions, the manufacturer provides tailor-made options for different requirements. The FRITZ!Box 6690 Pro in particular is the first Wi-Fi 7 cable router to make a strong statement in terms of innovation. Prices and availability of the new products are expected to be announced during the fall, so that interested users will soon be able to rely on the next generation of digital home networks.
