Hi Team - I have both the Fritz!box 7490 and 7560.

Not sure of the differences - any recommendations on which model to keep?

A review online seemed to suggest the 7490 was favoured over the 7560?

Thank you.

keep both and set up one as a mesh repeater and have a good wireless network for your house. easy to do.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

Hi - I already have 2 x 7490 set up as mesh which works great.

Just wondering if there are any advantages to the 7560 model?

Thanks.

Looking at the product page, 7490 has faster WiFi capability and 2 x USB 3.0 (rather than 1 x USB 2.0).
