Construction of a 144 sqm bungalow in Fichtenwalde (near Potsdam)

switch to the 7590 soon.

Oh look. I just unplugged it and replaced it with a UniFi router. :)

What is the Mehrweit on the Fritzbox 7590 ax?

The AX supports Wifi6, the "old" one supports Wifi5. That is the main difference. Wifi6 is the newer and theoretically faster standard. It depends on whether you want to use the router for WLAN or rely on external access points for WLAN. There are also two versions of the AX. The old one still has an S0 port, the newer one no longer has an S0 port. Since S0 is now almost dead, it is not a big loss.

Oh, you are often quite surprised how many multilink Gigasets are still out in the field and prefer to be operated on their own base rather than as GAP handsets. Such a fossil interface is not so useless after all.

The first "small" problem occurred today. The planner informed me that the ceiling must be suspended not by 6 cm, but by 11 cm due to the controlled residential ventilation. For us, this is actually not a big problem, since the room height will still be 2.72m. However, I find it a bit strange that after signing the contract in October 2021 and the agreed room height of 2.77m (controlled residential ventilation is included in the contract), it is now coming up that 5 cm more drywall suspension is necessary. I have an appointment with the GF soon. I'm curious, but also very relaxed :-)

The AX supports WiFi 6, the "old" one supports WiFi 5. That is the main difference. WiFi 6 is the newer and theoretically faster standard. It depends on whether you want to use the router also for Wi-Fi or rely on external access points for Wi-Fi.

So does that mean I can use all other standards plus WiFi 6 with the FritzBox 7590 AX?
