Fritz! reveals updated Wi-Fi 7 lineup at IFA 2026
The world of home networking just got a serious upgrade. At IFA this year, FRITZ! unveiled a massive refresh of its lineup, signaling a clear commitment to future-proofing the digital home by blending blazing-fast connectivity with seamless smart living. This isn’t just a product update; it’s a total reimagining of how home routers and smart devices should operate.
At the heart of this revolution is the new flagship router, the Fritz!Box DSL/Fiber 7-90. This device isn’t just another router; it’s an all-in-one powerhouse that seamlessly handles both DSL and fiber connections (GPON/AON). It delivers tri-band Wi-Fi 7 speeds up to 12.2 Gbit/s, multi-gigabit LAN/WAN capabilities, and ingeniously integrates smart home control via DECT and Zigbee protocols, making complex networking incredibly simple.
FRITZ! is extending this high-performance vision across its entire portfolio. For fiber enthusiasts looking for cutting-edge speed, the Fritz!Box 5630 XGS arrives, offering 10 Gbit/s XGS-PON capabilities. Meanwhile, mobile connectivity is also seeing a leap forward with the Fritz!Box 6835 5G, which provides dual-band Wi-Fi 7 and up to 2 Gbit/s of 5G speeds, complete with eSIM support and USB-C power.
The mesh network is also thriving with the Fritz!Repeater 6700 Pro. This repeater steps up the game with quad-band Wi-Fi 7, capable of delivering a staggering 18 Gbit/s across the 6 GHz band. It features dual 5 GHz radios and 2.4 GHz, plus robust 10-Gbit/s and 2.5-Gbit/s LAN ports, ensuring high-speed connections for every corner of the house.
Beyond raw speed, the focus has heavily shifted toward intelligent living. FRITZ! is expanding its smart home ecosystem with devices that make automation effortless. The Fritz!Smart Energy 201 smart plug launches with energy monitoring and Matter compatibility, while the Fritz!Smart Thermo 303 radiator controller follows, offering adaptive heating and smart open-window detection, all integrated into the existing FRITZ! environment.
To ensure this powerful hardware runs smoothly, FRITZ! also rolled out a substantial operating system update, FRITZ!OS 8.50. This software refresh introduces enhanced traffic prioritization, smarter DNS filtering, expanded failover options, and a brand-new “Simple Mode” for the Fritz!Fon, making advanced networking accessible to everyone. Furthermore, the MyFRITZ!App has been enriched with powerful diagnostic tools and optimization tips, giving users unprecedented control over their digital environment.
