The FRITZ!Box 7590 is one of the latest modem routers released by the German-based networking company (AVM) and, while its minimalist exterior may not give it away, this device is more than meets the eye: it can function as a DECT station for up to six handsets, it is compatible with ADSL/VDSL/fiber optic lines, it can connect to an ISDN telephone system and it can be a part of a WiFi mesh system. So, there’s the traditional wireless DSL modem router that simply connects your wired and wireless clients to the Internet and then, there’s the FRITZ!box which includes as many features as possible under the same hood. FRITZ!Box 7590 Modem RouterAmazon.co.ukAvm.deObviously, the regular user won’t need half of these features, but, while the 7590 claims to be a fantastic modem router even within a home environment (we’ll test that in a minute), the targeted audience is mainly the small and medium businesses which require everything that the FRITZ!Box has to offer (and, truly, this type of device can be a godsend in a crowded office). That being, said, I’ve actually had a look a few years ago at its predecessor, and it was a decent performer, so let’s have a closer look at what the new FRITZ!box 7590 can deliver and where does it stand in this competitive market.DesignThe FRITZ!Box routers aren’t known for their attractive design and the red and grey case of the 7490 is proof that AVM hasn’t really focused towards making its devices living-room friendly. The FRITZ!Box 7590 aims to change this perception by giving up the leather-book-cover-spaceship look for a more simple rectangular case which is slightly curved towards the front and, unlike the usual black or grey router, the 7590 is a lot more cheerful, the top surface being covered mostly by a white glossy finish, while the ventilation grill is red (the rest of the case is grey). The device is definitely more elegant than its predecessor, but it still has stubbornly kept that retro look – in a similar manner to the WRT series – and I do appreciate its uniqueness when compared to the other traditional routers, but, just like the WRT3200ACM, some people will love the design, while others will hate it.After opening the box, you will immediately notice that doesn’t have any external antennas and, instead, it opted to use eight internal antennas. Sure, from the design point of view, this is good news since, similarly to the dedicated WiFi systems (, etcetera), it loses the industrial look, but, from the performance POV, the external antennas are usually more powerful and can be replaced or upgraded.The size of the modem router is significant and it’s no surprise since it packs so many features, but, at 9.84 x 1.88 x 7.24 inches (almost as big as ), it definitely requires some planning before positioning it in the room or office (especially because it can’t be kept vertically).

Thankfully, on the bottom side of the FRITZ!Box 7590, there are a couple of holes that can be used to mount the device on the wall. Also here, you can find the info label (contains the default SSID, passkey, the Serial Number and more), as well as four silicone feet. The modem router has a reasonable weight (0.88 lb), so, along with the silicone feet, it won’t budge no matter the amount of connected cables.Beside the top grill, the manufacturer has also covered the entire bottom surface with ventilation cut-outs, so, this should ensure that the modem router maintains an optimal internal temperature and, while I was testing it, the FRITZ!Box 7590 got a bit warm towards the top and bottom side.
