FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable

The FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable shares the same features as the 6590, adding support for DOCSIS 3.1. Successor models with better LAN and WLAN performance are the new FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable and the FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable. On 2021-12-01 AVM increased the List-Price of the FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable by 30 Euro.

Modding[edit]

Daily updated index of all FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable firmware modding projects. Last update: 2024-12-19 08:46 GMT.
This list excludes community ripping, code raping, project killing and permanent quarrel and combat enforcing individuals.
BoxMatrix tries to be a service to the community without doing harm to anyone, and not a platform to advertize the opposite.
Mother nature will bill for all time, manpower, projects, fun and passion which was ripped from the community for sick battle.
Let this reaver suck all honest work on this planet and pretend he knew it first. Mother nature will ripp it off his bones.
And if this sick (single sided) perversion continues I have no other option than invoking the police. Please someone stop him.

Firmware-Scans[edit]

Daily updated scans of the latest firmware for the FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable. Last update: 2024-12-20 04:55 GMT.
Note that models with multiple Linux instances have multiple scan results per firmware labeled main/scrpn/boot/arm/prx/atom.
All dates have been converted to GMT.

No firmware to scan!

Source-Scans[edit]

Daily updated index of all scanned FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable tarballs, most of which are online. Last update: 2024-12-19 05:50 GMT.
The (main/scrpn/boot/arm/prx/atom/rtl) label in the Model column shows which CPU is meant for Multi-Linux models.
The Ver column shows the Firmware-Version derived from the tarball's filename, or 00.00 if not detectable.
There's no way to find this number in the source. Click the version number to get a listing of the entire tarball.
The Kern column shows the Kernel-Version from the kernel Makefile, click it to get a listing of the kernel source.
The BB column shows the BusyBox-Version from various scan sources, click it for listing the busybox addons.
The Libc and LcVer columns show the Libc-Library and its version where it could be detected, which is complicated, no listings yet.
The CC column shows the GCC-Version from its root Makefile, click it for a listing of the gcc source in the tarball.
The BR column shows the Buildroot-Version if detectable, click it for a listing of its source in the GCC tarball.
The Date column shows the date of the newest contained file. By default this list is reverse sorted by this date.
This is no perfect method, since AVM sometimes repackages older tarballs. No better method has been found so far.
