I'm getting this FB! together with my new ISP subscription. Can someone explain the difference to the brand new 7590 and why this one (5490) which is an older version is more expensive?

Helpful answer

In contrast to the "brand new" 7590, the "older" FritzBox 5490 has a direct input for an optical cable. This is practical in connection with a fibre optic connection, because you save the external converter, and thus several cables and an additional power supply unit.
