CONCLUSION

   Two things are clear from today’s review, 1st that the FRITZ! Repeater 6000 is the fastest repeater I’ve ever tested (still, i haven’t tested every single one in the market) and 2nd that my tests weren’t performed with WiFi 6 compatible equipment (wish i had the 7590 AX here together with compatible USB adapters). Of course, this mean that in all likelihood results would be far better with WiFi 6 compatible equipment but if you don’t happen to have that either (and don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon) then the FRITZ! Repeater 3000 is probably an equally great choice that costs significantly less. The 2.5G LAN port used in the FRITZ! Repeater 6000 is also a great addition which again however needs WiFi 6 equipment to show its true colors (and be of any real use). Size is pretty much the sole drawback of the FRITZ! Repeater 6000 (just like with the 3000 model) but considering what AVM has squeezed inside this was expected.

  At 205.57Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the FRITZ! Repeater 6000 is among the most expensive WiFi repeaters in the market (if not the most expensive) and costs almost twice as much compared to the 3000 model. Still, it’s without doubt faster and with larger coverage even if you don’t own WiFi 6 compatible devices so if cost is not an issue the FRITZ! Repeater 6000 could be the best solution for fast WiFi connectivity (especially if you own a FRITZ! Box) and that’s why it gets the Golden Award.
