Overview[edit]

The FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable shares the same DOCSIS 3.1 features as the 6591, with improved LAN and WLAN performance. It is the first AVM router supporting Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and the first box with an additional 2.5 Gbit port. The disadvantages compared to a 6591 are only one FON port, no FONS0 port and only a single USB 2.0 port. On 2021-12-01 AVM increased the List-Price of the FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable by 20 Euro. On 2022-02-01 AVM increased the List-Price of the FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable by 20 Euro. The successor model is the FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable.
Have a look at the german 6660 teardown video by the well known IT journalist Dr. Harald Karcher, who contributed all contained images to the Gallery below. There's an interesting section of a live stream video by an AVM WLAN product manager (german language) covering the 6660.
A new variant of the 6660 supporting Wi-Fi 7 and ZigBee is the FRITZ!Box 6670 Cable.

Note that the information above is merged from all current Firmware versions available for this model, if there are multiples.
For a more detailed per Firmware view see the Firmware-Scans below, and have a look at the Firmware-History.

Characteristics[edit]

  • This is likely a Puma7 design, using a MaxLinear tuner, possibly the MXL278.

Modding[edit]

Daily updated index of all FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable firmware modding projects. Last update: 2024-03-27 08:25 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 6660 Cable. Last update: 2024-03-28 05:05 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 6660 Cable tarballs, most of which are online. Last update: 2024-03-27 05:40 GMT.
The (main/scrpn/boot/arm/prx/atom) label in the Model column shows which CPU is meant for models with multiple Linux instances.
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.

Part-Numbers[edit]

Daily updated index of FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable part numbers. Last update: 2024-03-28 04:32 GMT. Click an EAN/GTIN or MPN to search the web for it.
If you know any part numbers not listed here yet, expecially OEM and country specific versions, then please get in touch.

Legend:   ok = supported   -   eos = EOS   -   sold = still sold   -   dead = not sold any more   -   Bold = maintained Icecat entry   -   Italic = logistic entry without datasheet

Note that cable models typically are not sold directly. You can rent or buy them from your cable ISP.
