In contrast to the "brand new" 7590, the "older" FritzBox 5490 has a direct input for an optical cable. This is practical in connection with a fibre optic connection, because you save the external converter, and thus several cables and an additional power supply unit.

Unfortunately, none of our suppliers offers the desired product.
Yes, probably so. It's a pretty standard feature.
No, Salt FAQ: Can I use a fibre router from another provider? No, only the "Fiber Box" provided by Salt is compatible with the "Salt Fiber" offer.
I am currently using the successor to the FB 5490 --> 5590 and there is an entry in the FB knowledge base about it https://avm.de/service/wissensdatenbank/dok/FRITZ-Box-5590-Fiber/76_FRITZ-Box-am-Mobilfunkanschluss-einrichten/ This may help to solve your problem.
I personally have the ISP Sunrise Fiber and it works great, without any problems. I cannot answer whether it also works with other providers.

I used the box for about 2 weeks with Sunrise before the contract expired. Therefore, I can only answer partially. Plug in the Fritzbox, select Sunrise as provider, the rest is automatic. Well, almost, the first time I had to take the fibre optic plug in and out during operation (important, restarting was not enough) so that the box changed from 100 mbit to 1 gbit... No idea why I could not try Sunrise TV Adding VOIP accounts works

Hello Lemanonlinech According to AVM, the new Fritzbox 5530 should be available at the end of January / beginning of February 2021. I don't know if it will also be available in Switzerland. Here is a report from Chip.de https://www.chip.de/news/Fuer-schnellste-Verbindungen-Neue-FritzBox-mit-Glasfaser-ab-sofort-vorbestellbar_183122923.html
I sold the product, but regarding AC cables, the easiest thing to do is to buy a generic cable (with adjustable volt count and adapter variants), that will definitely work. E.g. this one: Goobay 3 V - 12 V Universal Power Supply 1.5A

Search init7 on Twitter, they post speed tests of their customers every now and then. Off the top of my head, it should be around 900Mbit/s up and down. Depending on many factors, of course... I myself have this Fritzbox with a 1GBit/s symmetrical line and am very satisfied!
No, unfortunately not. But the 6490 does have this.

That is good news. I haven't used the box yet. So I can't say anything yet. Thanks for the tip, I will try it out in the next few days.
As far as I know, there are two ways to connect a telephone to the Fritzbox. Either plug it into the back of the router or connect it via DECT. In both cases, the device must be searched for and then connected. In the first case, it is often still a question of old, very well wireless, radio telephones from the time before Voip telephony, which, however, can still be used, just by connecting them to the back of the router. (The "modern" DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications), on the other hand, are integrated wirelessly into the network without being connected to the router in any way. The base is only plugged into a socket somewhere for the purpose of charging the phone. Now the question is what exactly is not working for you? The establishment of a functioning line, which should work thanks to the SIP credentials, or is it rather the integration of the telephone device that does not work?
I have it in operation with Wingo and fibre optics. Everything runs without configuration. I assume that since M-Budget is also Swisscom, this will also work.
You can't chain it like that. UPC would have to provide you with the signal via fibre optics. As far as I know, you can only get gigabit internet via their cable network.

First download the latest firmware from http://download.avm.de/fritzbox/fritzbox-5490/other/fritz.os/ and then install it on the box. Under the Fitzbox settings in (activate Expert mode) --> Internet --> Access data --> Provider: iWay Fiber --> Access type: iWay Fiber CH DHCP (VLAN10) Wingo works for me with the access type: iWay Fiber It is also important that you use the correct fibre optic cable for the box.

That would theoretically work, but why? Then a cheap FritzBox 7490 without an integrated fibre-optic connection would also do. Another solution would be to install the 5490 in the fuse box and then connect a Fritz repeater for WLAN via Ethernet. I use a 7490 together with the TP-Link MC220L. This even has the advantage that the 7490 is supplied with newer firmware versions earlier.

I bought the following cable: Lightwin LWL Simplex Patch Cable (10m, SC/LC-APC, 9/125µm, OS2) Lightwin LWL Simplex Patch Cable (10m, SC/LC-APC, 9/125µm, OS2) Even though I didn't need it in the end, it fit.

Hello, in order to be able to make calls with the 5490, you have to have the SIP data, these would have to be handed over by Sunrise, in the past Swisscom did not hand over these data either, so there was a router obligation, at Swisscom you have been able to request these SIP data via the customer centre for some time. N.B. the "Session Initiation Protocol" regulates in the background - before the dial tone sounds - the connection set-up between two terminals or the telephony software of two call participants. Customers dial a telephone number as usual.
