The only real disappointment for this reviewer is that there isn’t a UK-specific version, only an international model. With the right cables, kindly provided by AVM for this review, it will work with UK phones, and the power supply can be easily converted. More regionally specific solutions are always preferable, obviously. The FRITZ!Box approach is less dependent on specific mobile hardware and only requires that the machine can connect over WiFi and then be used to provide the correct login information. In RedesZone we have made a complete video with the unboxing and first impressions of this new router from the German manufacturer AVM, before seeing it, we have to explain the differences with respect to the FRITZ! Box 7530 model that has been with us for several years. Although this router is physically very similar to the FRITZ! Box 7530 model, and even they are called practically the same, the differences between both models are very important for you to choose the ideal router correctly: As you might have guessed, this is therefore essentially the same as the FRITZ!Box 7530 but with significantly improved WiFi. Where this design diverges from the usual router discord is it combines an ADSL router, network switch, analogue phone relay, digital phone point, DECT phone base, WiFi 6 router and NAS box in a single solution.

Set the connection as “DSL line”, set account information to “NO”, the only requirement is to have “Use VLAN for internet access” enabled using “VLAN-ID 10 / PBit 0”, no need to modify the 1/32 DSL ATM settings. WiFi 6 Performance I get rid of ADSL years ago when Virgin became available on my street, so I had to set this up using the existing Internet option where the LAN 1 port becomes your WAN port. In our specific tests, we dropped out a Vodaphone cable router for the 7590 AX without any issues, including cabling the Internet, wired network and phone system. The FRITZ!Box 7530 AX retains the same level of quality I have seen in previous FRITZ!Box routers, but it ends up being better than normal due to the limited competition. AVM currently have 5 separate repeaters but only the FRITZ!Repeater 6000 is WiFI 6 equipped. All the repeaters can work as standard old fashioned repeaters allowing you to use them with any brand. But when you pair them up with a FRITZ!Box they will make use of the mesh functionality allowing you to retain the same SSID around your home with fast roaming features.supervectoring, το FRITZ!Box 7530 προσφέρει γρήγορη ασύρματη σύνδεση AC και Wireless N ταυτόχρονα. Υπάρχουν τέσσερις θύρες gigabit LAN και μια θύρα USB στο ίδιο το router. Αφενός μπορείτε να τις χρησιμοποιήσετε για να ενσωματώσετε εύκολα όλες τις τερματικές σας συσκευές, αφετέρου σας επιτρέπουν να συμπεριλάβετε τον εκτυπωτή σας στο οικιακό σας δίκτυο και να παρέχετε πρόσβαση σε μέσα αποθήκευσης USB. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι μπορείτε να έχετε πρόσβαση σε βίντεο, φωτογραφίες και μουσική όποτε και όπου θέλετε. FRITZ!OS – ένα πλήρως εφοδιασμένο λειτουργικό σύστημα The Upstairs test is taken one storey up and roughly 15 metres away from the router, while the Garden test is approximately 20 metres away, with two closed doors and two load-bearing walls between the router and the clients. Results below are averages, rounded up: Wi-Fi 5 test The complexity of this device and the flexibility of its Fritz!OS Linux-based operating system would align well with users that like to get the most out of their equipment. However, for non-technical customers, it might be a little overwhelming. Performance Ports: 1x Gigabit WAN, 4x Gigabit Ethernet LAN, 2x USB 3.0,VDSL/ADSL2+ Modem (Annex B), 2x Analogue Phone, 1x Analog or ISDN landline

First of all, a reminder than the FRITZ!Box 7530 AX hasn’t had a UK launch, and there doesn’t seem to be any immediate plans to launch it. Which limits the appeal since most of my readers are in the UK. However, it is not a huge problem dealing with two-pin plugs. Most brands seem to have given up on VDLS modem routers, so it is just the ASUS DSL-AX82U competing that also has WiFi 6. The price is admittedly high, though once you factor in all the extra hardware, you might need to bring a cheap 2400AC class router up to the specification of the 7590 AX, then it isn’t excessive.

Can I use the Fritz!Box 7530 AX as a repeater? Yes, the Fritz!Box 7530 AX can be used as a repeater to extend the range of your Wi-Fi network. How easy is it to set up the FritzBox 7530 AX? Setting up the Fritz!Box 7530 AX is straightforward and easy. Simply connect the router to your internet modem, plug in the power, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. The router also comes with an app that can be used for setup and configuration. The Fritz Box 7530 AX is a popular router that offers a wide range of features and functionalities, making it a top choice for home and small office users. In this blog post, we will answer the 10 most searched for questions about the Fritz!Box 7530 AX. What are the main features of the Fritz Box 7530 AX? The Fritz!Box 7530 AX offers advanced features such as Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, parental controls, VPN support, and guest networks. It also comes with a built-in modem, making it an all-in-one solution for internet access.

This router has Smart Connect or band-steering, that is, we will have an SSID shared by the two frequency bands, and the router will be in charge of placing us in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band, depending on the coverage received by the WiFi client. It also supports WiFi roaming if we configure a WiFi Mesh network with the manufacturer’s devices, the roaming makes use of the 802.11k / v standards so that the transition between the Mesh router and the Mesh repeaters is totally transparent. 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. Please note: To support VoIP through your FRITZ!Box you will need a supported IP voice / Digital Voice service. Other features The clearest difference between upgrading from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 is coverage improvement. You can see from the results that it’s possible to get usable speeds on Wi-Fi 6 client devices much further away, such as 69Mbps in the garden. Wi-Fi 6 test At close range, using an AC-capable WiFi adapter, it is possible to achieve close to 900Mbit/s, though this would only be to a local NAS box or server unless you have 1000Mbit or better Internet.One of the big features AVM have rolled out over the past few years is the ability to pair up their routers with the new mesh equipped WiFi repeaters. If we want better WiFi, it is clear that we must choose the new 7530 AX model, however, if we want to have a very good WiFi, but high performance in the USB port, then the previous model is better. 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. The 7530 AX is a perfect replacement for the EIR F2000/3000, the 7530 AX connects using the VDSL2 17a G.Vector (ITU G.993.5) profile via Eir FTTC service.

For those that want the telephone features but don’t need to connect as many WiFi clients, the cheaper FRITZ!Box 7530 provides that option, and there is always the older 7590 that can still be found if WiFI 6 isn't a critical requirement.

My diverse interests allow me to bring a unique perspective to tech blogging, merging lifestyle, fitness, and the latest tech trends. When this reviewer covered the original 7950 model five years ago, I described its appearance as being a ‘little too Jetsons’, and the 7590 AX has a similar signature styling. Our only reservation about all these features is that if you don’t need them, you might be paying more than you need to. That all this technology is crammed into a box just 256mm wide, 200mm deep, and 60mm high is impressive. Its small enough that it can be placed on any flat surface or wall mounted as required.Speeds were generally very good, although, again, this is par for the course for Wi-Fi 6 devices, which are swiftly becoming the norm. Any new phone or laptop you’re likely to buy today will almost certainly have Wi-Fi 6 and, while older devices will still be compatible with newer Wi-Fi 6 routers, you’ll be missing out on benefits like faster speeds and greater coverage.
