The FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable
Welcome! We are pleased you decided on a FRITZ!Box. The FRITZ!Box
6490 Cable is the hub of your home network, connecting your com-
puters and network devices with the Internet. You can operate the
FRITZ!Box as an Internet router directly at the cable connection.
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with ports for computers, telephones and
USB devices and supports the wireless technologies WiFi and DECT.
You can use the FRITZ!Box as a wireless LAN access point for wireless
devices like notebooks, tablets or smartphones and as DECT base sta-
tion for your cordless telephones.
Connected telephones use the FRITZ!Box as a telephone system
(PBX).
The FRITZ!Box integrates connected computers and network devices
into your private home network. The devices can exchange data with
each other and enjoy shared access to USB hard drives, USB printers
and other USB devices. The FRITZ!Box transmits music, video and im-
age files to suitable playback devices in the home network.
Settings for the FRITZ!Box and for your private network are configured
in an easy-to-use user interface. The user interface can be opened in
any web browser. Wizards guide you step by step through the most
important FRITZ!Box functions.
You can expand the scope of functions of your FRITZ!Box with AVM
Smart Home devices for home automation.
This manual assists you in connecting, configuring and operating your
FRITZ!Box. Its purpose is not only to introduce to you the many func-
tions of the device, but also to familiarize you with some of the techni-
cal context. Have fun using your FRITZ!Box!
