Smart Home, Software, Hardware, Mobile Computing & Co.by Felix Frank Feb 24, 2022 |21 commentsWe already reported that with the AVM FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber, a new FRITZ!Box for fiber optic connections is coming.This is probably a visually similar successor to the FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber from 2020, which is also already based on WiFi 6.What's in the FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber?In addition to the fiber optic modem mentioned, a WiFi 6 access point is integrated.In contrast to the 5530, it even offers 4×4 and Multi User MIMO (MU-MIMO).As usual with the FRITZ!Box, there is also a VoIP telephone system.Numerous (suitable) fiber optic modules in SFP format can be used in conjunction with the FRITZ!Box 5590.They are interchangeable.In order to avoid potential interference from overlapping frequencies with AON and GPON, the FRITZ!Box determines all transmission activity and whether the inserted module matches the fiber optic topology.If not, send a notification and disable the laser.A 2.5 Gbit/s WAN port is installed in the 5590, which can also be converted into a LAN port.The other four ports are Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.AVM relies on a dual-band connection via WiFi 6 (802.11ax/ac/n).That means: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.WiFi 6e with 6 GHz is therefore not part of the game.WPA2 is activated ex works, the use of WPA3 is optional.There are the usual FRITZ!Box functions such as time control, guest access or the WPS button for registering new devices at the touch of a button.In addition to two analogue telephones, up to six handsets can also be connected directly to the FRITZ!Box via DECT.Other end devices are possible via IP.As is well known, they also offer their own FRITZ!App-Fon-App here.Also installed: USB 3.0.With the integrated NAS functionality, it can also be used for storage in the home network or the like.The new box is scheduled to start in the spring, but no price has been revealed.This article contains affiliate links.Clicking on it will take you directly to the provider.If you decide to make a purchase there, we will receive a small commission.Nothing changes in the price for you.Thank you for your support!More than a gigabit, you first have to be able to use it privately.I only have Netgear gigabit routers at home.And swapping four routers because of two servers with minimal data synchronization is not worth it for me.So I can live with the "only" gigabit port of the 7590 fiber.And don't forget 1x 2.5 gigThis is WAN, not LAN.Ah, my mistake, I overlooked the optional switchable.But only 1x 2.5Gb would mean that you also have to get a 2.5Gb switch in order to be able to redistribute it.If the FB itself had 4x such connections, you could save yourself that.Ah, my mistake, I overlooked the optional switchable.But only 1x 2.5Gb would mean that you also have to get a 2.5Gb switch in order to be able to redistribute it.If the FB itself had 4x such connections, you could save yourself that.Pity….With the omission of the S0 port, one could at least have expanded the analog ports.Especially since there is still no external DECT solution.What do you always mean with an external DECT solution?Almost every box can DECT and telephones can also be registered thereI don't understand either.And the existing DECT integration in the Fritz!Box is great.Especially with Fritz telephones and telephone books in the Fritz!Box.I no longer want any other DECT solution.I will buy a 590 Fiber as soon as it becomes available.Even if that means again that the first 4 software versions are definitely buggy.Can you simply replace the existing 5530 Fiber with the new 5590 Fiber?Or do you have to clarify something with Telekom Support that the new box is also functional in the fiber optic network?I still have a gr@bbelT wall mount for the removed 5590.I'm curious if it will also fit on the 5590 Fiber.The dimensions are similar - 5590 (WxHxD): 250x48x185 mm - 5590 Fiber (WxHxD): 254x63x91 mm.It depends on how you had previously registered the edie 5530.If the "trick" with GPON serial number and ONT identifier, then the change should work (for the time being).If you have had a rediscover carried out in order to be able to register the 5530 directly, then there is no way around rediscovering it again.Then it could work because I didn't have to do a rediscover.According to the information provided by the technician for commissioning the 5530 fiber, I only additionally entered the ONT installation ID of the fiber optic modem in the ONT installation ID field that the technician had with him.And if that doesn't work, I'll call Telekom's fiber optic hotline.In April 2021, nobody on 0800330100 was able to help me with problems with the fiber optic connection.Oh, then the 5530 OVP lying here goes straight back...Is that humor now oh yes it's carnival, the FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber as the successor to the FRITZ!Box 5530 Fiber is similar to calling the FRITZ!Box 7590 DSL the successor to the FRITZ!Box 7530 DSL.I like it (with my admittedly special requirements).WAN over glass, LAN over 2.5GBit/s to the Unifi world.Then probably a guest LAN for my guest VLAN.1GBit/s is enough.Switching time to glass for me in June ... could fit.Unfortunately, it doesn't do me much good if the provider blocks the connection with a network termination device (like Kabel Deutschland did back then).Even after consultation with AVM regarding the freedom of the router, it will still be a hard piece of work to get all the divided providers to comply with the law.4 x 4 and only 2400 Mbit in 5 GHz?So probably only 80 MHz channel bandwidth possible2×2 and 160Mhz results in 2401 Mbit.So it should comeAre the 2×2 based on the antennas of the end devices or on the capacity of the box?160MHz bands would be a reason to buy.So the differences to the 5530 are not really fundamental.What the 5530 lacks is a USB port.He's coming on board now.In addition, there are again two telephone connections - this is what you know from almost all other Fritz!Boxes... the 5530 was rather a bit out of line here.What I miss - even if it may have failed: the possibility to continue indoors via fiber optics.My switch in the attic could do that and the empty pipe from the basement would be there.But with the Fritz!Box 5590 it remains a one-way street.Purely optically - out only via LAN.Your email address will not be published.Required fields are marked with *Notify me of follow-up comments via email.Notify me of new posts via email.DHL Packstation: From 1.4.complete switch to the scannable pick-up codeSurvey March 2022: Should Meta leave the EU -
