Overview

• The new cable gateway succeeds the 6690 Cable and adds Wi‑Fi 7 across 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz, a capability Fritz! markets as a global first for an integrated cable‑modem router, though tri‑band Wi‑Fi 7 routers without modems already exist.
• Integrated DOCSIS 3.1 remains on board alongside 1× 2.5 Gbps and 3× 1 Gbps Ethernet ports and 2× USB 3.0, with radio setups of 2×2 MIMO on 6 GHz and 2.4 GHz and 4×4 on 5 GHz.
• Manufacturer figures cite peak wireless rates up to 5,760 Mbit/s on both 6 GHz and 5 GHz and up to 688 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz, and reporting notes support for Multi‑Link Operation to tie a client across the three bands.
• Smart‑home and telephony features include Zigbee and DECT ULE, DECT handsets, an analog FXS port, and FRITZ!OS functions with Matter readiness, mesh networking, VPN and guest Wi‑Fi.
• Fritz! says launch timing and pricing will follow, and it also previewed other hardware including the Fritz!Box 6825 4G LTE router with Wi‑Fi 6 and a new Wi‑Fi 7 USB‑A stick (Fritz WLAN Stick 6700).
