Confirmed about the WPA3, updated my 7590 a couple of weeks ago and my daughter’s realme 6 connected with that protocol at once. Thank you for the update!

hi, sorry for the slow reply! I’m totally blown away by the new router 7590. the supplied cables were not compatible with our english connections, but I cobbled some wires together with parts from the “spare wire box” that we all have, the diagrams above were most useful.(I had no idea that the RJ11 and RJ45 connections were compatible).

My dsl connection is showing speeds well above the maximum 74Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up so my junctions can’t be too bad!

The menu option shows that my router distance from the cabinet is 301metres – g.fast is said to work well up to 300metres. so near, yet so far! So we did not go out for a romantic walk, but found something even better to do with the time ;-P ;-P

I’m totally impressed by all the features, I have the app on my phone so can answer landline calls on my mobile, I receive an email if I miss a phone call because I’m not at home, I have a dect handset plugged in, the NAS access is configured and working. I didn’t know about the VPN features, will hook my mobile phone into those next. The rumours about german engineering are totally true considering the design of this box!

edit : forgot to mention that my old router was 300Mb/s, this one will do 1700Mb/s on the 5Ghz frequency band, so file transfer speeds are so much better!

thanks again for all the friendly and useful advice

Andy

i’m sorry to bother y’all, you’ve been brilliant so far! (Nods politely as grisu).

My new 7590 has arrived, i’ve opened the outer packaging but not the box. On the outside of the cardboard box is “article number 2000 2862” which is a pity because i ordered a 2000 2804. The edition says “aus/IRL”, australia and ireland? Will this version work in england where i am? Cos if not i should return it unopened :-(

I’ve googled fritz!box 20002862 and fritz!box 2000 2862 without results. Frustrating!

Edit:just read your post above, will reply this evening in more detail when i’m not on mobile. I just realised aus could be austria, not australia.

I ordered the 7590 20002084, £229 from amazon. everyone’s advice was excellent. I will calculate the distance to the cabinet,(i’ll let my wife believe we are going for a romantic walk around our village!). i reckon it’s almost exactly 300 metres. But the B.T. website says they have no plans yet to put g.fast into my area so it will only matter when they do.

Thanks grisu and uk sentinal!

I’m pretty sure grisu is saying that the technical limitations of the cables is easy to fix. you gotta notice the winky smiley! actually, I read your post again, some of the pots services would be useful, perhaps i’m better off buying the 7590 and upgrading once g.fast is installed in my area. openreach has no idea when that might be, so my 7590 will be useful for a year or two yet probably! thank you for your very helpful post :-)

That’s really useful, thank you everso! I couldn’t even find the model number for the International version of the 7583 so you’ve helped loads.

it’s really appreciated.

I’d love some advice, this thread is the nearest i’ve found discussing my question! Apologies if i’m hijacking it a little. I understand the fritz!box 7590 comes in two versions, and only the correct model will work in the uk.

i’m reluctant to buy the 7590 because it supports only v35.b which will not be used in the uk.

the 7583 Version is compatible with g.fast so seems to be more future proof?

I can buy one on ebay easily enough, item number 123889788058; i’ve searched and searched google but can’t find any information about whether the 7583 will work in the uk at all due to the isdn / ptsn differences. I’m not bothered about power supplies or telephone connection cables, i have plenty of spare ones at home.

On the avm website their information suggests that the 7583 shouldn’t be used for adsl connection, only vdsl. Which is fine. But is it at all uk compatible, please? The model number of the item i’m looking at is 20002859. Thanks in advance for any advice!
