AVM FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390 - wireless router - DSL - 802.11a/b/g/n - desktop

Product Information

Please note: To support VoIP through your FRITZ!Box you will need a supported IP voice / Digital Voice service. Other features All of those features plus world-beating performance might have been too much to ask, and so it proved, as the FRITZ!Box 7590 didn't blow away our performance tests. The Fritz!Box is available in a wide range of models, but none of those are compatible with consumer VPNs. This leaves you with two options; either use VPN software on each individual device in your home; or use an additional router with DD-WRT or Tomato firmware that is connected to your Fritz!Box. Note:You can also use FRITZ!App WLAN to establish the Wi-Fi connection by pointing the camera on the device at the QR code displayed under "Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Channel" ("Wireless > Radio Network") in the user interface. Surfshark - This VPN boasts incredible value for money with a great range of features for Fritz!Box. You can even use it on an unlimited number of devices.

Select the name of the FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network (SSID) from the context menu. If your FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network is not displayed, follow the steps in our guide FRITZ!Box's Wi-Fi network cannot be found. If you are looking for a professional VPN that won’t break the bank, Surfshark is an outstanding option. With Surfshark you get servers in over 100 countries A Fritz!Box is a high-quality router and modem designed by the German company AVM. It has become extremely popular due to its smart WiFi capabilities, which improve range and connection speeds. You will now be able to access the internet via your Fritz!Box. This will ensure that your data is encrypted between your device and the VPN server. However, please remember that the VPN is localized and will only provide the VPN services (location spoofing and encryption) on the device where it is installed. What features must a Fritz!Box VPN have? AVM also has a side line in Fritz!-branded smart home devices including smart plugs, and smart radiator thermostats. While these aren’t as well known in the UK as brands like Honeywell and Hive, if you’re keen on being able to control your heating and cut down on bills, there’s the option to do that and control everything via your router. Appsand Surfshark is one of the rare VPNs that can access a wide cross section of Netflix catalogs (including the US and Canada) BBC iPlayer, Hulu, Sling TV, HBO GO, and literally anything else you throw at it.

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. 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. As Fritz!Box VPN services cannot be loaded directly onto your router or modem, we have listed services that offer apps and software for the following devices: Private Internet Access - The most customizable and private VPN service for Fritz!Box. PIA has proven in court that it does not keep user logs.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 raft of features, outside of very specific use cases, just isn't required, so paying a little extra for mid-range Wi-Fi power might sting. 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. Two USB 3.0 ports allow the router to become a NAS distribution system if storage is attached, connect a USB printer to the network, or offer a 4G/5G fail-over solution using a mobile network services dongle.

Router compatibility - This allows you to install the VPN and connect at the router level. Unfortunately, you cannot install a VPN onto a FritzBox directly. That means you will need to install it on a separate router and link that router to your FritzBox. VyprVPN is a provider based in Switzerland; a location that is generally accepted as the best place in Europe for a VPN to be based. The provider stores zero logs, which means it will never have any records about what you do online. This makes the VPN perfect for torrenting and doing other sensitive online tasks. 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. The 7590 AX has expanded vertically over its predecessor and has a more pleasant shape that’s reminiscent of telecoms hardware from the 1990s.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. This method is effective, but it is pretty costly to buy a high-spec VPN router in addition to the Fritz!Box. For this reason, most people will probably prefer to use method #2. Use a VPN on individual devices
