ADSL and VDSL routers
( number of products: 4 )DSL routers
DSL routers are devices that connect to the Internet via DSL technology. Digital Subscriber Line). DSL is a technology that allows you to transmit broadband Internet using the most commonly used medium - telephone cable (that is, a single pair of copper wires). In parallel with the Internet signal, a traditional fixed-line telephone signal (analog or digital ISDN) is transmitted on the same pair of wires. Due to the nature of DSL technology, the speed of Internet access offered by DSL routers is asymmetrical, i.e. at a higher speed we download data from the network than we send to it. The limitation of DSL technology is the maximum length of the telephone cable between the operator's headquarters and the user's location, which in practice is up to approx. 5 km (with good quality of the wires themselves).

This way, the user does not have to worry about selecting the right modem and router for the connection offered by the local provider. ADSL routers allow you to achieve speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s downstream (for downloads) and up to 3 Mbit/s for uploads, depending on the speed offered by the provider and the length and quality of the telephone cable in question.
VDSL is the latest version of DSL technology. VDSL router allows speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s down and up to 100 Mbit/s up. Every FRITZ VDSL router! has a modem compatible with the latest technology implementations, i.e. VDSL and VDSL2, with support for 35b supervectoring.
