Anyone who has an old Fritzbox 7490 in their possession, or buys one used for 40 to 80 euros, can revive it with a completely modern fiber optic ONT to achieve Internet quality never seen before. So much for the question: should I treat myself to an expensive Fritzbox 5590 Fiber with my new fiber optic connection? Should I perhaps even wait for the upcoming 5690 PRO or 5690 XGS? Or should I simply accept the fiber optic ONT modem box from my GPON fiber optic provider and then connect my existing Fritzbox or another attractive WLAN router to it? 7490 on Amazon (advertising): https://amzn.to/4bMeknB Fiber optic on Amazon (advertising): https://amzn.to/3WrlUQm 00:00 Fritzbox 7490 on fiber optic ONT 01:53 Used 40 to 80 euros 03:00 FB 5590 with its own fiber modem 03:53 Three reasons for real fiber boxes 07:07 Laying fiber optic with splicing 07:35 Laying self-adhesive fiber optic 07:56 Unlocking the modem ID of a 5590 08:15 (Almost) every router runs on the ONT 09:31 Four 1 GbE LAN ports of the 7490 10:09 RJ11 ports for analog behind fiber optic 10:22 RJ45 port for digital ISDN behind fiber optic 11:40 The WAN-LAN ports of the 5590 12:44 USB and TAE ports of the 7490 17:48 Packaging of the 7490 from 2018 19:09 GUI of the 7490 from 2018 19:50 Test behind cable 1000 modem 20:48 Set LAN 1 port to 1 Gbps 21:20 Load FRITZ!OS 7.57 21:42 WLAN speed TEST at 2.4 GHz 22:46 WLAN speed TEST at 5 GHz 24:48 WLAN ping and range TEST at 2.4 GHz 26:38 WLAN ping and range TEST at 5 GHz 28:12 CPU & web GUI slow 29:22 USB NAS & VPN slow 30:11 More tech specs of the 7490 31:12 Power values 7490 plus ONT 33:45 Conclusion: Suitable for fiber optic up to 500 Mbps #fritzbox #7490 #fiberoptic
