According to our router expert
The AVM FRITZ! Box 7530 is a WiFi router with an integrated modem. You can connect the modem router to the phone's landline to connect it to your internet provider. Internet speeds of up to 300 Mbps are possible, for example. That's more than enough to stream, game, and download at the same time. This way, you can provide your home with a fast internet connection and a stable wireless network, coming from the same device. Thanks to MU-MIMO, the router establishes a separate connection for all your devices. That means your wireless network remains fast and stable, even with many devices connected. In addition to a router, the FRITZ! Box is also a complete telephone exchange. Connect 2 wired devices, or use the integrated DECT base station to connect your wireless telephones.

The product was purchased to replace a faulty BBOX3 modem/router that was connected to the Belgian Proximus network. Devices that connect to this provider's network must use certified firmware, otherwise the speed of the DSL connection drops to a slower 'fallback profile'. For several weeks now, the Fritz!Box 7530 and 7590 have been approved by Proximus, which is a big plus for people who want to combine modem & router in one device, without sacrificing speed.
In addition, the devices are suitable for VDSL supervectoring. This technique to increase the line speed is currently still under development. If the providers roll out this in the future, then you are prepared with this device.
Installation is simple: connect all cables, then browse to the fritz.box page and run through the installation wizard. After selecting the country, it is possible to select your provider in a drop-down menu. Useful fact: Proximus customers must select "Annex B" when prompted. You must also have your customer details (login and password) to hand to establish the connection.
The device is also delivered securely configured, with a unique password to access the interface and a password on the WiFi network. This promotes a secure home network, even for less technically inclined people.
The interface provides the user with a detailed overview of the line values, with numerous configuration options. The power-users will undoubtedly find something to their liking here.
At the moment I can only think of two minor negatives with this product. On the one hand, the price is relatively high compared to other AC1200 Dual Band WiFi routers, although you have to take into account that the modem here is integrated in the same device. On the other hand, an RJ11 to RJ45 cable is used for the DSL connection. This cable is included, but is more difficult to obtain than a classic RJ11 to RJ11 cable. You never know if your dog/cat is trespassing on the cable and you need to look for a replacement. :-)

I was mainly looking for a router that received good reviews in the field of WiFi range in combination with. several thick walls. That makes this router more than true. In addition, the 5Ghz support has been very good and completely stable over the past few weeks.
The interface is 'clean' and fast, and is fun to click around.

I wanted to get rid of the default modem/router (Expediabox 10). With this router, this is possible on the Youfone network. Choose "Telfort" during the set-up (strange, but in the end it is a KPN network). After this discovery, everything could be arranged quickly. Very satisfied.
