Fritzbox 6690 Pro celebrates its world premiere at IFA 2025

At IFA 2025, the spotlight is on a router that sets new standards: the Fritzbox 6690 Pro. Unveiled for the first time at the trade show, it combines numerous functions in one compact device. Cable connection, tri-band Wi-Fi 7, powerful LAN, telephony, and smart home control make the box a versatile center for digital living.

Cable connection and tri-band Wi-Fi 7

The Fritzbox 6690 Pro brings fast internet directly into the home via the cable connection. A special highlight is tri-band Wi-Fi 7, which also uses the 6 GHz band to ensure maximum speed and stability. This is complemented by a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port and USB 3, which also allows wired devices to benefit from high performance.

Integrated telephony and smart home

Beyond classic Internet use, the Fritzbox covers other key functions. Integrated DECT telephony enables cordless communication. In addition, Zigbee ensures that smart home devices can be directly integrated and managed. This allows the entire home automation system to be controlled centrally via the box—from lighting and sensors to other applications.

Mesh systems for range in the home network

Wi-Fi 7 alone does not provide greater range, which is why the box relies on mesh systems. Repeaters can be flexibly placed in power outlets and extend the signal where it is needed. This allows high speeds to be used throughout the home network, regardless of room size or wall thickness. The bandwidth can thus be flexibly adjusted – from compact solutions to large networks.

Possible applications in business

Not only private households, but also smaller businesses benefit from the Fritzbox 6690 Pro. Medical practices, retail stores, and offices require reliable internet, stable Wi-Fi connections, and telephony. The device covers exactly this combination without complex infrastructure. This allows internal processes and customer communication to run on a single system.

Wi-Fi 7 with a focus on stability and low latency

Compared to Wi-Fi 6, the new standard not only offers higher speeds, but above all more stable connections. This is particularly important in environments with many devices and parallel networks. Low latency also plays a role, for example in gaming and real-time applications.

Fritzbox updates and warranty

The Fritzbox 6690 Pro is designed to function reliably over the long term. Automatic updates keep the system up to date and regularly add new features. With a five-year warranty, the manufacturer underscores its commitment to stability and longevity. A look into the future also shows that artificial intelligence could play a role in the further development of the box in the future, although the exact details are still open.
