What Europe does not offer
Many popular budget and gaming routers come from Asian and US brands, and the chipsets inside routers, including those of European brands, generally come from non-European suppliers. This page lists brands by the headquarters of the company, not by where components are made. FRITZ! belongs to AVM, in which Imker Capital Partners, a Europe-based family office, holds the majority since 2024.
