FritzBox routers lead performance tests for fiber optic connections

A recent evaluation of fiber optic routers highlights the importance of compatible hardware for maximizing high-speed internet connections. For Fiber to the Home (FTTH) setups, users may require a router with an integrated fiber optic modem depending on whether the connection uses GPON or AON technology.

The FritzBox 5690 Pro was identified as the top performer in testing, featuring Wi-Fi 7 support, three WLAN radio units, and an integrated DSL modem to facilitate future transitions from DSL to fiber. The FritzBox 5530 Fiber was also noted as a recommended budget-friendly option.
