Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...

An astonishing breadth of features, including ADSL2+, VDSL and cable connection compatibility, plus DECT, VOIP and answerphone facilities, but not the best performer...
Overall, the best routers are the ASUS RT-AC68U, Apple AirPort Extreme, D-Link DIR-868L, and the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk, with Apple's offering being the fastest in almost every test. You cannot ignore this router when strictly focusing on performance, ...

The 7490 costs a whopping £249 (about US$412, AU$457), more than any other 802.11ac router on the market. Other firms' products are cheaper and faster, so to be tempted you really have to love the idea of using your router to manage landline telephone ca...
The FRITZ!Box 7490 is a hugely flexible and fast router. It provides a host of features that are easy to use. It's expensive but in value-for-moeny terms this device could be a bargain at £245 for a business or power users that needs all its telephony fun...
Fast, consistent 802.11n performance, Integrated VDSL/ADSL2+ modem, Useful basic NAS functionality, Can replace your DECT basestation, answerphone and fax
No dedicated WAN port, Overly complex setup, Daft defaults combine SSID & disable Gigabit LAN, Expensive
With the Fritz!Box 7490 AVM has again produced a router unlike any other and now hopped aboard the 802.11ac merry-go-round. Its looks will divide opinion and the setup process needs to be far friendlier to enthusiastic amateurs, but the functionality is s...

Reasonable WiFi Performance, Packed With Unique Extra Features, VDSL2, AC1750, The Interface Is Being Kept Up To Date
Uninspired Design, Combined WLAN WPS button, Unimpressive NAS Performance, A Bit Expensive
Overall, the AVM FRITZ!Box 7490 is definitely not the fastest modem router, but it has the most features, it comes equipped with a DECT base station, it supports both the ADSL2+ and the VDSL2 technologies and it has an easy to navigate interface. Sure, th...
Overall Build Quality, Wireless Performance (Fastest Modem Router In Our Charts), AC1750 Technology (Concurrent 802.11n & 802.11ac), Compatible With Every Line Type, Available Features (DECT Base/Repeater/NAS Server/Media Server/Call Handling/Answering Ma
Price (For Some), No Dedicated WAN Port (LAN 1 can be used for that),
The FRITZ!Box 7490 is actually the 2nd product we've gotten our hands on by AVM so we really didn't know what to expect not only in terms of performance but also in features and build quality. Performance as you can see may not be the best in...
