ADSL/VDSL Modem Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.

    Router for experts and user enthusiasts.

    Honestly, I don’t know where to start. I’ll try to cover everything so please be patient, a long post follows.

    This particular router is aimed at people who want to throw away the rotten, locked-down router from their provider with its crippled firmware and want

    ONE DEVICE FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING TELEPHONY.

    It is the successor to the 7590 ax v2.
    Here we have the 7690 v1, clearly better, more powerful, and infinitely cheaper.

    Ax 7590 ax v2 --> 289 euro
    7690 v1 --> 214 euro.

    1. Hardware – Processor & RAM
    The FRITZ!Box 7690 features a dual-core processor and 512MB RAM, according to technical reports.
    What does this mean in practice?
    - It can handle very high throughput, even 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN, without “choking”.
    - It withstands many simultaneous sessions, VPN, NAS, VoIP, smart home, without lag.
    - It is suitable for future upgrades (e.g. FTTH 2.5G).

    2. Ports & Connectivity
    The 7690 features:
    - 1× 2.5G WAN/LAN
    - 1× 2.5G LAN
    - 2× 1G LAN
    - Wi‑Fi 7 up to 7136 Mbps
    - DECT base for up to 6 cordless phones
    - 2× RJ11 for analog devices
    - USB 2.0
    - Zigbee for smart home.

    3. Performance on VDSL & FTTH

    * On VDSL (up to 300 Mbps Supervectoring)
    The 7690 fully supports VDSL 35b up to 300 Mbps.
    Advantages:
    - Better sync stability.
    - Better SNR handling.
    - More stable Wi‑Fi and latency.

    * On FTTH 1Gbps
    The 7690 works behind ONT (GPON/XPON).
    With a 2.5G WAN/LAN port, it fully utilizes 1Gbps without bottleneck.

    * On FTTH 2.5Gbps
    The 7690 is one of the few routers in Greece that can utilize 2.5Gbps, thanks to its two 2.5G ports and powerful CPU/RAM.
    Ideal for:
    - Multi-gig LAN
    - NAS
    - Gaming + streaming + downloads simultaneously.

    Now, regarding the settings with Cosmote that I have, it was simply a piece of cake. For someone who knows how to set it up but also for a beginner, it won’t be difficult. If you follow the setup that guides you step by step, you won’t have a problem.

    Now, regarding telephony, which I read about from a friend below who had a problem, I don’t know why he got so tangled up and I don’t understand the reason.
    The telephony setup is simple as long as you have received your line’s SIP credentials from your provider.
    Once you receive the provider’s email with the necessary settings and the password they give you, you enter them and it works immediately. All those settings the friend I read about before made are both wrong and unnecessary for it to work. Unless he has set up some strange setup…

    ***For help, see the photos I have uploaded and wherever it is blacked out, you enter your number and the password your provider gives you (if you have OTE) and you’re ready. Telephony will turn green.***

    If you connect the router directly to the line and don’t put it in any bridge mode etc., since that’s the reason someone gets this router, then you won’t have any issues.

    For someone who wants to get rid of their provider’s router and have telephony working immediately, the 7690 is the solution.

    You buy it once, for example if you have VDSL like me, and even if you get 1Gbps FTTH later, you keep it and it’s awesome because it can handle even more.

    I emphasize. It’s not the best router on the planet, just for someone who wants a single device and not to have both the provider’s router and another one of their own and play with bridge mode, which the OTE router for example doesn’t even support exactly, and get tangled up with double NAT, etc., THIS is the solution.

    I hope I helped.

    Very good, with excellent range and an extremely large number of functions. It has all the expected options such as VPN, DNS, WPA3, etc.

    I have it connected to a Cosmote VDSL connection at 50Mbps. With the Cosmote Speedport Plus I had, I was getting around 36Mbps, and now with the FRITZ!Box I get 47Mbps, always with Ethernet.

    The biggest problem I had was with configuring the wired landline phone, as it was a real struggle to set it up to work.

    Cosmote told me that the problem was because I didn’t buy it from Germanos or Cosmote itself, as FRITZ!Boxes from the market cannot be configured with their network, and that if I had bought it from them I wouldn’t have had a problem.

    In the end, I found the solution myself, as the setting that was wrong was that I had to enable "VLAN required for internet telephony" in the Connection Settings for DSL/WAN, and set 837 in the VLAN-ID and 5 in Pbit. I also had to enable "Keep port sharing of the internet router enabled for telephony" at 30 seconds, because otherwise the phone connection would drop after a few minutes, despite a successful connection.

    Since then I have had absolutely no problems, and I am completely satisfied. I recommend it to anyone who wants a futureproof modem+router with endless options and settings, where basically only your imagination is the limit.

    We reached 2025 and they haven't released a Router compatible with our fiber optic because it is not a gpon Router to connect directly. The only thing you can do is connect it to your existing Router and have both connected.

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.

WPA2
The WPA 2 protocol replaced WPA in 2004 and uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology, which is approved by the US government for classified documents. It is considered secure for home use.
MAC Address Filtering
Yes

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Yes

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.
VoIP
Yes
Mesh
Yes

Mesh

It is a complete home WiFi system with multiple access points designed to eliminate dead zones and provide seamless WiFi throughout your home with higher speeds and more devices.

    Router for experts and user enthusiasts.

    Honestly, I don’t know where to start. I’ll try to cover everything so please be patient, a long post follows.

    This particular router is aimed at people who want to throw away the rotten, locked-down router from their provider with its crippled firmware and want

    ONE DEVICE FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING TELEPHONY.

    It is the successor to the 7590 ax v2.
    Here we have the 7690 v1, clearly better, more powerful, and infinitely cheaper.

    Ax 7590 ax v2 --> 289 euro
    7690 v1 --> 214 euro.

    1. Hardware – Processor & RAM
    The FRITZ!Box 7690 features a dual-core processor and 512MB RAM, according to technical reports.
    What does this mean in practice?
    - It can handle very high throughput, even 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN, without “choking”.
    - It withstands many simultaneous sessions, VPN, NAS, VoIP, smart home, without lag.
    - It is suitable for future upgrades (e.g. FTTH 2.5G).

    2. Ports & Connectivity
    The 7690 features:
    - 1× 2.5G WAN/LAN
    - 1× 2.5G LAN
    - 2× 1G LAN
    - Wi‑Fi 7 up to 7136 Mbps
    - DECT base for up to 6 cordless phones
    - 2× RJ11 for analog devices
    - USB 2.0
    - Zigbee for smart home.

    3. Performance on VDSL & FTTH

    * On VDSL (up to 300 Mbps Supervectoring)
    The 7690 fully supports VDSL 35b up to 300 Mbps.
    Advantages:
    - Better sync stability.
    - Better SNR handling.
    - More stable Wi‑Fi and latency.

    * On FTTH 1Gbps
    The 7690 works behind ONT (GPON/XPON).
    With a 2.5G WAN/LAN port, it fully utilizes 1Gbps without bottleneck.

    * On FTTH 2.5Gbps
    The 7690 is one of the few routers in Greece that can utilize 2.5Gbps, thanks to its two 2.5G ports and powerful CPU/RAM.
    Ideal for:
    - Multi-gig LAN
    - NAS
    - Gaming + streaming + downloads simultaneously.

    Now, regarding the settings with Cosmote that I have, it was simply a piece of cake. For someone who knows how to set it up but also for a beginner, it won’t be difficult. If you follow the setup that guides you step by step, you won’t have a problem.

    Now, regarding telephony, which I read about from a friend below who had a problem, I don’t know why he got so tangled up and I don’t understand the reason.
    The telephony setup is simple as long as you have received your line’s SIP credentials from your provider.
    Once you receive the provider’s email with the necessary settings and the password they give you, you enter them and it works immediately. All those settings the friend I read about before made are both wrong and unnecessary for it to work. Unless he has set up some strange setup…

    ***For help, see the photos I have uploaded and wherever it is blacked out, you enter your number and the password your provider gives you (if you have OTE) and you’re ready. Telephony will turn green.***

    If you connect the router directly to the line and don’t put it in any bridge mode etc., since that’s the reason someone gets this router, then you won’t have any issues.

    For someone who wants to get rid of their provider’s router and have telephony working immediately, the 7690 is the solution.

    You buy it once, for example if you have VDSL like me, and even if you get 1Gbps FTTH later, you keep it and it’s awesome because it can handle even more.

    I emphasize. It’s not the best router on the planet, just for someone who wants a single device and not to have both the provider’s router and another one of their own and play with bridge mode, which the OTE router for example doesn’t even support exactly, and get tangled up with double NAT, etc., THIS is the solution.

    I hope I helped.

    Very good, with excellent range and an extremely large number of functions. It has all the expected options such as VPN, DNS, WPA3, etc.

    I have it connected to a Cosmote VDSL connection at 50Mbps. With the Cosmote Speedport Plus I had, I was getting around 36Mbps, and now with the FRITZ!Box I get 47Mbps, always with Ethernet.

    The biggest problem I had was with configuring the wired landline phone, as it was a real struggle to set it up to work.

    Cosmote told me that the problem was because I didn’t buy it from Germanos or Cosmote itself, as FRITZ!Boxes from the market cannot be configured with their network, and that if I had bought it from them I wouldn’t have had a problem.

    In the end, I found the solution myself, as the setting that was wrong was that I had to enable "VLAN required for internet telephony" in the Connection Settings for DSL/WAN, and set 837 in the VLAN-ID and 5 in Pbit. I also had to enable "Keep port sharing of the internet router enabled for telephony" at 30 seconds, because otherwise the phone connection would drop after a few minutes, despite a successful connection.

    Since then I have had absolutely no problems, and I am completely satisfied. I recommend it to anyone who wants a futureproof modem+router with endless options and settings, where basically only your imagination is the limit.

    We reached 2025 and they haven't released a Router compatible with our fiber optic because it is not a gpon Router to connect directly. The only thing you can do is connect it to your existing Router and have both connected.
