High-end home network with 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 (Wireless AX)
The AVM FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable Edition International with innovative Wi-Fi 6 (Wireless AX) brings ultra-fast Wi-Fi to the cable connection. The new Wi-Fi 6 (Wireless AX) standard is faster and much more efficient: The FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable masters multiple parallel applications like 4k streams, video conferences and cloud applications effortlessly. The integrated DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem for ultra-fast gigabit speeds is suitable for all cable connections. Once 2.5-gigabit LAN port, USB 3.0 and the DECT base station for cordless telephony and Smart Home applications round out the versatile communication package in the home network.
Innovative Wi-Fi 6 for a high-end Wi-Fi network with many terminal devices
In addition to smartphones, notebooks, TVs and game consoles, ever more household and Smart Home devices are designed for wireless connections – ideal for Wi-Fi 6. Through reduced latencies and the new OFDMA modulation scheme with QAM-1024, Wi-Fi 6 (Wireless AX) enables more efficiency, higher speeds, and better Wi-Fi coverage in the home. With a total of 4800 Mbit/s (5 GHz) + 1200 Mbit/s (2.4 GHz), the FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable offers great reserve capacity for the most demanding applications in the Wi-Fi network.
A powerful hub for Mesh Wi-Fi
As a Mesh Wi-Fi hub, the FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable ensures optimal Wi-Fi quality for all wireless activities in the entire home network. In the Mesh Wi-Fi, multiple distributed wireless hubs (for instance, the FRITZ!Box and several FRITZ!Repeaters) are combined into a single intelligent Wi-Fi network. The FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable is always the hub (Mesh Master), actively controlling all of the other access points so that wireless devices used in the home network are always registered with the access point that offers the best connection. Mobile wireless devices switch between the access points automatically, without any interruption to active applications.
Versatile Smart Home and convenient telephony
Smart Home devices like the FRITZ!DECT 301 radiator control, the switchable sockets FRITZ!DECT 200/210, the FRITZ!DECT 440 switch and the FRITZ!DECT 500 LED light are controlled via the integrated DECT base station. With the integrated telecommunications system, two analog telephones and up to six DECT cordless telephones (FRITZ!Fon, for instance) can be registered. Via Wi-Fi, the FRITZ!App FON transforms even smartphones into full-service landline/VoIP telephones. Multiple integrated answering machines, local telephone books and online telephone contacts and a slew of convenience functions round out the broad telephony palette.
Versatile multimedia functions
An integrated TV tuner streams the television signal throughout the entire home network to PCs, smartphones, or tablets. The FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable also brings connected USB storage media into the home network as well as online storage media and all of the contents stored there. Thanks to the integrated media server coupled with NAS, stored videos, music and pictures are made available for distribution to playback devices like smartphones. This makes the FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable a powerful and efficient platform for networked multimedia applications like IPTV, video on demand and 4K streaming.
