The men's FIFA World Cup 2026 is starting today, and so begins a month of unforgettable parties in your living room or garden. As you won't want your enjoyment of the games spoiled by unreliable streams or missed goals, FRITZ! recommends a hardware upgrade: A new FRITZ!Box with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard or a Mesh Repeater for indoors and outdoors will get every home network fit for the tournament before kickoff.
Maximum Wi-Fi power for all the fans
When you have a lot of guests sitting in front of the TV with their mobile devices, you're going to need plenty of bandwidth and strong Wi-Fi. A new FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro or FRITZ!Box 7690 will get the maximum out of every internet connection. Thanks to Wi-Fi 7, these two current models offer significantly faster and more stable Wi-Fi. This ensures smooth streaming no matter how many fans are surfing, sharing, or posting at the same time. And if you want to be doubly sure, you can set up FRITZ! Failsafe as a mobile network failover connection to the internet. Find out more at: https://business.fritz.com/de/inhalt/technik/fritzfailsafe
Entertainment for everyone – indoors and outdoors
Not only wireless devices benefit from an upgrade. Smart TVs, streaming boxes or game consoles can be optimally integrated into the network – thanks to the FRITZ!Box's wide range of networking options. And if you want to move your public viewing outdoors, a FRITZ!Repeater 1610 Outdoor or a FRITZ!Box for mobile broadband such as the FRITZ!Box 6860 5G can ensure optimum reception for everyone gathered outside.

Setting up is faster than any video review
Connecting the new FRITZ!Box? Done in the blink of an eye: With the MyFRITZ!App and the QR code in the quick guide, setting up is child's play. If you've already got a FRITZ!Box at home, the ‘Transfer Your Settings to a New FRITZ!Box’ wizard takes over all the existing settings and ensures a smooth transition.

Today football has the right of way – priorities for a free-flowing game
An important game deserves the best connection. In the FRITZ!OS, the device being used for viewing can be prioritized. This prevents an update in the background or another application from spoiling your enjoyment of the game. Streaming remains smooth even when many devices are active in the network at the same time.
