Overview
- Fritz publicly revealed the FritzBox DSL/Fiber 7-90 as its new top-model at IFA 2026, highlighting a minimalist case with one button, a single LED and integrated cable management.
- The 7-90 is a dual‑modem triband Wi‑Fi‑7 router that supports GPON (up to 2.5 Gbit/s), AON (up to 1 Gbit/s) and DSL to 300 Mbit/s and lists a theoretical aggregate wireless rate of 12.2 Gbit/s.
- Fritz traded some top-end specs for the new design: the 7-90 offers two 2.5 Gbit/s ports and two Gigabit ports instead of a 10 Gbit/s LAN port and it delivers lower 6 GHz throughput than the prior 5690 Pro.
- Alongside the 7-90 Fritz announced a broad Wi‑Fi‑7 product push and software updates including new models (5630 XGS, 6835 5G, Repeater 6700 Pro) and FritzOS 8.50 features such as DNS filtering and improved failover.
- Separately, the cable-focused FritzBox 6690 Pro that Fritz first showed a year ago has begun limited retail sales at Media Markt and Saturn for about €429, illustrating the company’s pattern of staggered launches and selective availability.
