Unfortunately, I cannot answer why some manufacturers do not advertise their ports correctly. However, there are routers with 10GB Ethernet ports. I can recommend this one for example: Zyxel AX7501-B0

This information is misleading and should be removed. The matching power supply unit with 2-pin plug is of course included and can be used without any adapters.

Yes, a Sunrise data SIM card generally works with the AVM FRITZ!Box 6850 5G International. Users report that Sunrise prepaid and other Sunrise data cards work with the router, provided the SIM is inserted correctly and the PIN code is removed if necessary. It is important that the Sunrise subscription supports 5G and that the SIM card is suitable for the router, especially for 5G standalone (SA) networks, where a newer SIM (e.g. eSIM) that supports SUCI may be required.
Experience shows that there are no fundamental compatibility problems, but there may be restrictions with some plans or SIM cards, for example if Sunrise recognises usage in the router and throttles the speed. It is advisable to test the SIM card in a mobile phone first and ensure that the PIN code is deactivated to avoid connection problems.
To summarise: With a current Sunrise data SIM and a suitable plan, the router usually works without any problems.

The FRITZ!Box 6850 5G cannot be operated simultaneously via an external modem and the integrated SIM card in order to automatically switch to the other connection if the connection is interrupted.
The router has an integrated 5G modem and supports Internet access via mobile radio (SIM card). There is no indication that it can be used as a pure router behind an external modem with automatic fallback function to the SIM card. Use as a backup solution in the event of failure of the external modem is therefore not planned or documented.

The FRITZBox 6850 5G can be used in the USA as it supports a variety of 5G frequencies that are used internationally. However, you should make sure that the mobile service provider you are using provides the supported frequencies. Supported 5G bands include n1, n3, n5, n7, n8, n20, n28, n38, n40, n41 and n78.

This Fritzbox receives the phone number of the inserted SIM card, provided it supports mobile telephony including VoLTE (Voice over LTE). It also receives incoming calls to the configured VOIP number(s). For example, from services such as netvoip.ch, sipgate.ch etc. All these numbers can then be received on one or more DECT phones according to the configuration.

Yes, the FRITZBox 6850 5G International can also be used in Germany. The device supports 5G, 4G/LTE and 3G and is backwards compatible with the mobile networks available in Germany. It can be used with SIM cards from suppliers such as Telekom, Vodafone and O2.

According to my research, there is no technical difference between the two versions. It is the same device. The only difference is the scope of delivery and the default settings for the international version for several languages and regions, in short, you can use both, I would choose the cheaper one.

It is best to check with your internet provider whether you can use off-brand routers.🫡
What is the difference between the International and the normal edition? The price difference is 20.
The differences between the international and German versions of the FRITZ!Box routers mainly revolve around the firmware language and availability. Historically, the German version was tailored to the local market, with German language settings and specific cabling suitable for the region. However, it is possible to change the language of a German FRITZ!Box router by updating the firmware to an international version.
In addition, AVM, the manufacturer of the FRITZ!Box routers, is working on standardising the models, which means that in the future there may no longer be a difference between international and German versions. This could lead to a single version for all models and eliminate the difference between international and German models.

It is the exact same item but simply with the packaging opened, but 5G can do both new and the opened product.
Helpful answer
As far as I can tell, that’s not the case. IMHO, it would work as a router for an other cable/dsl modem ( this is going to be my case) but not as an ADSL router
Depends on the mobile phone provider. Quite fast with 5G. But other manufacturers are faster. But Fritz.box has many good features.

Yes, according to our information, the only difference is the power supply unit.
I wouldn't know how to answer your question because I've sold it,

Yes, according to the release notes for the latest firmware version: https://en.avm.de/release-no...
(See the FAQ on this page, penultimate item). I have not tested....

this is only available at digitec and not in germany
Other countries do not necessarily have nationwide router freedom. Since the standards were not necessarily uniformly defined either, AVM developed a so-called "international version" for various countries (except Germany), which harmonises with the Internet connections abroad. Since an international version needs considerably more adaptation than a German version, updates have also taken longer.
But now it was decided to combine the standards from the German and international markets. With the current FRITZ! lab version, there will be only one version for all models in the future - a worldwide FRITZ!Box. This will eliminate the difference between international and German. However, the update supply is to be continued. The other country standards are now so far advanced that the adjustments in the future will probably be of a lesser nature.

In principle, the Galaxus plan works exactly as planned. However, the router is not equipped with the latest technology (it has an outdated 5G module), it does not offer WiFi 6 and only moderately fast WiFi. I wouldn't buy it, the price is far too high for what it offers.
The 5G speed can also vary greatly depending on the location. If possible, I would test the reception on site with a 5G smartphone and a 5G plan. The 5G speed is always up to, even if the maximum 5G is possible according to the map, depending on the placement of the router, this can also vary greatly. It is better to set it up near a window, if possible.
By the way, the best and cheapest 5G router at the moment comes from Xiaomi, it is the model Xiaomi 5G CPE Pro, it offers fast 5G with a modern SX62 chipset from Qualcomm, can serve over 240 devices and also has new WiFi 6.
It is unfortunately not available at Digitec but at other online retailers for about 270 francs and works great with Sunrise 5G (have been using it for a few months).
