As it looks, there is no legally defined router freedom in Austria as of autumn 2023, unlike in Germany, for example.
You have to ask your provider whether it accepts customer boxes and whether it provides the necessary information for configuration and, in some cases, access data (e.g. SIP access data). The situation is similar in Switzerland, where it also depends on your provider.
I cannot give a direct answer to init7.ch. However, since the Fritz!Box offers a maximum of 2.5 Gbit/s on a single WAN connection, a 10 Gbit/s plan from an Internet provider can technically never be fully utilised. A 10 Gbit/s connection with this Fritz!Box would therefore be like travelling with the handbrake on. Even devices connected directly to the Fritz!Box in the LAN can only communicate at a maximum of 1 Gbit/s speed.
Only in conjunction with an additional DSL modem as this box only has one WAN port. https://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/fritzbox-5590-fiber/technische-daten/
Hello, I was supplied with an AON and GPON plug-in module. Simply plug in the appropriate module, enter data if necessary (sip telephony or similar) and have fun. I am satisfied with the Fritz-Box! Greetings
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
I would like to buy a FritzBox 5590 for my future Internet connection from Init7 in Switzerland. Since there are different models / SFP modules, I would like to know which one(s) is the right one.
Information from Init7, connection type Fibre7: https://www.init7.net/de/internet/hardware/
a) For Fibre7 with 1 Gb/s
b) For fibre7 with 10 Gb/s. Init7 says that they had compatibility problems during their tests: "We only tested the 5590 with 1 Gbps. We do not have internal tests on compatibility with 10 Gbps. From our customers' experience, we know that the 5590 was made to work with an optic from fs.com."
Thank you very much for your information.
It is about the comparison between
"AVM FRITZ!Box 5590 FIber AON" (item 23316532) for CHF 254 (as of 03.02.2023)
and
"AVM FRITZ!Box 5590 Fiber" (item 20853136) for CHF 283 (as of 03.02.2023)
According to digitec specifications, item 20853136 only has 4 LAN ports, is that really true?
The practically identical item 23316532 has 5 LAN ports?
Article 20853136 only offers WiFi in the variants 4,5 and 6, but article 23316532 offers WiFi 1,3,4,5,6 and WPA2-EAP & WPA2-PSK (in addition to WPA3)?
The model with supposedly fewer ports and fewer WLAN variants still costs CHF 29 more?
