Looks like AVM announced a while back their new DSL FRITZ!Box 7530 AX which supports supervectoring (35b) and Wifi 6 standards

Not sure if it is yet for sale, but does look interesting ?

Available since end of Nov. but maybe not for UK-market (firmware ok but wrong adapters).

DSL is a broadcom BCM 6303, you could find it (corrected

Great news being Broadcom, I have not seen the BCM6303 before but thank you for information

Would definitely be interested to see if this model gets released in the UK due to its Broadcom chipset.
I like to pair a Broadcom modem with my Huawei cabinet to get the best sync speed and stability I can and have been using the DSL-AC88U for years but the memory leak issue has become a problem so decided to switch to the 7530 provided to me by my ISP Zen.
While I love the whole interface of the Fritzbox, the fact its a Lantiq/Intel VRX618 chipset means my sync speed has dropped and it is playing hell with my DLM situation.
Don’t suppose I could buy the 7530 AX from Amazon (import from Germany) and just use the power adapter from the normal 7530 model and it would just work? 😄
Despite that I hope it does get released in the UK properly.
A German forum actually shows some differences between the two models specs wise. Screenshot attached.

Interesting, s the spec sheet you found suggests 7530 AX comes with BCM63178 SOC which is on some models also like the new ASUS DSL-AX82U and is a 3 core 1.5GHz cpu (very nice)
@Grisu is the resident AVM expert and hopefully he sees this, I had a look and could not find a 7530 AX International Version which would have been suitable for UK ?The Intel (Infineon) tend to sync slightly lower than Broadcom chipsets as they have a better error correction rate, but at the cost of synch
I have purchased my last Fritz!box from Spain and they supplied UK 3 pin plug, so maybe have a chat with supplier, Ideally you need the 7530 AX International Version, which is not available but it seems the 7530 AX does support English Language I believe

Since 7.2x firmware they all support all languages and got exactly same firmware, there are no more differences between german and international versions but additional plugs/adapters.
If you already have adapters you can reuse them, DSL-port pin layout is the same on all Fritz-modems (could only have additional POTS and ISDN input).
So you can even use cables from other vendors (RJ45 and RJ11 would fit too) as long as middle 2 pins are DSL-input, next 2 are POTS input on other models like 7590, 7530 does not support POTS only VoIP or NGV!
If you still got POTS you cant use 7530(ax) for telephony features like DECT, fax and answering machine.
I only found international version of 7530ax with part number 20002930, you have to ask your dealer for uk-adapters whether they are included in his package.
You only have to keep an eye not to bid on special vendor versions mostly cheaper on ebay and often have some limitations if you dont know they will match your line, they might be identified by different housing (colour and printing) and part number.

I’ve gone and messaged the seller MOONDROPS AG through Amazon about the UK plug situation to see what they say.
Perfect, shame you was having issues with the ISP 7530, but I am sure the new 7530 AX will be a delight

Yeah it’s a shame. If I was on an ECI cabinet the modem chipset would have been more compatible otherwise its an excellent device. Reminds me of the Billion 8800NL R1 I had before the DSL-AC88U. So if I can get the Broadcom version of the 7530 I’m sure it will help out greatly.
Otherwise I suppose changing to BT and grabbing the BT Smart Hub 2 might also be an option although not as customisable but I do prefer Zen as an ISP.

BT Smart Hub 2 – last resort
