I'm using it without problems (Internet, incl. TV and phone). Check Swisscome site: https://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/device/internet/external-router.html?srsltid=AfmBOoo9e1m2o1AkF0Msm3n6lsO54alqZXusqDqL7i0DqUNELb8AjiPH The router is listed as supported (by network, not by support service), and you have information on how to set the different parameters.
I have the box running with Sunrise on port 1 (L1). It works without any problems. I had to set the MAC address and the VLAN ID.
For SIP telephony you have to contact the Sunrise hotline and order the SIP access data. I was sent the access data via SMS. It also works like a charm.
What is the benefit of operating a FRITZ!Box behind the SALT Fibre Box?
On an existing provider router, the AVM FRITZ!Box 4060 makes the most sense. I use the 4060 behind the 5590 as a mesh extension for WLAN, LAN and telephony.
But the fundamental question remains, what is the goal? Another box does not solve any problems that a SALT fibre connection entails: https://www.digitec.ch/de/brand/showdiscussion/synology-und-salt-fiber-box-21721
Fritzbox 5590 on a Sunrise 10 Gbit/s connection
Does anyone have experience getting the Fritzbox 5590 to work on a Sunrise 10 Gbit/s connection?
After consulting with AVM support, I ordered the XGS-PON module as an accessory, as this is not supplied.
With the new module, the fibre optic cable originally supplied with the Fritzbox 5590 no longer works (wrong connector). I used the cable from Sunrise.
Nevertheless, the Fritzbox does not establish an Internet connection (but light signals are received according to the Fritzbox).
Hello...
If I have read through this correctly, you are using the 10 GBits??? with yallo fibre.
This only works with the FB5590 with an SFP+ XGS-PON module, which, as usual, is not supplied. And you will probably
you will probably not get this module from any provider...
The most you can do is try the Zyxel module, but it may not fit. If it does:
Internet access > Other provider
VLAN ID > 10
Or you look here > At fs(dot)com the following article: XGS-SFP-25-20N2
We have ordered this module (up to 6 weeks delivery time) and I can only test it from 01.08.2022 (switching to 10GBits).
No, it definitely does NOT work, I bought the expensive AVM module separately and installed it without success.
I have installed the Zyxel module in the Fritzbox, but it does not work.
I have tried the option from AVM to write the original MAC address of the Zyxel module to the AVM module. Does not work.
I have written to yallo x times and get no response.
If you haven't bought the FB yet, I would advise against it.
I still use the Fritzbox by setting the DMZ in the Zyxel box to the IP address of the Fritzbox.
Among other things, the Zyxel does not support VPN
Hello Walcon... I pursued this very question over half a year ago... Short answer to your question: YES!
But you need a lot of patience with the support and you have to be lucky to have the right person on the line. Just don't give up and keep drilling until the box works.
My prerequisite was that I had the last mile from Swisscom, which Sunrise rented from Swisscom...in other words, the final registration went via the Swisscom Fiber activation page, to which Sunrise was finally able to give me the activation code.
Good luck! 😊
Hello Tobias
it was included with my model, and it is also listed as an official accessory at AVM.

https://ch.avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/fritzbox-5590-fiber-xgs-pon/technische-daten/
And the scope of delivery also includes "1x FRITZ!SFP XGS-PON" :)
The only thing you probably have to buy additionally is the fibre optic cable between the box and the glass connection (I also had to buy it from Digitec)

there are several things to consider, speaking from experience, all options work
1. possibility

- it works
2. possibility
- connect
- log in
- internet
- access data
- internet provider sunrise
- access type sunrise fibre l3
- now running
3rd possibility (if the way 1. & 2. does not work)
- disconnect pc/laptop from the network
- connect fritzbox to pc via lan
- log in
- system
- backup
- factory settings
- load factory settings
- disconnect fritzbox from pc
- connect
- do 1st or 2nd option
- be happy
