New firmware for AVM’s top model

AVM, the well-known German manufacturer of network products, is currently distributing a new firmware update for the FritzBox 7690 – it is only the second update for the still young router. The update to FritzOS 7.62 is now available for owners of the DSL flagship. According to official information from the manufacturer, the update focuses mainly on “provider-specific adjustments” – nothing more is actually mentioned. AVM does not provide any concrete details about the changes. It can be assumed that the adjustments are intended to improve the compatibility and performance of the FritzBox 7690 with various Internet providers.

Multilingual support and easy installation

The update is available in several languages. In addition to German, users can also access English, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Spanish versions. This underlines AVM’s commitment to making its products accessible to a broad international audience. The new firmware can be easily installed via the FritzBox user interface. Users should check their device’s settings for available updates and follow the on-screen instructions.

Powerful DSL flagship

The FritzBox 7690 is AVM’s current top model in the DSL segment. It supports speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s on the DSL connection and can be used in all common DSL networks. A special feature is the support of the new Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is used in both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands.

Thanks to the 4×4 MIMO technology with a total of eight antennas, the FritzBox 7690 achieves WLAN speeds of up to 7.2 GBit/s. This represents a doubling of the performance compared to the previous model and makes the 7690 a future-proof solution for demanding home networks.

Connection options

The FritzBox 7690 is also well equipped for wired connections. It has two 2.5 gigabit LAN ports, one of which can be used as a WAN port for connecting a fiber optic modem. In addition, there are two gigabit LAN ports available that enable a fast and reliable connection to other network devices.
