THE FRITZ!B0X 7530

Measuring 208mm in length, 150mm in width and 37mm in height the FRITZ!Box 7530 is probably the most compact modem/router by AVM to reach our lab (to date of course).

To have a better idea about its size we placed the FRITZ!Box 7530 right next to the much larger FRITZ!Box 7590.

The 5 large activity LEDs at the top of the device (power-DSL/wireless Lan/DECT phone/WPS/info) also feature buttons next to them for easier/faster access.

Just like with the 7590 model the 7530 is also perforated at the top.

On the right side of the enclosure we see a TAE-N type connector (German standard) while on the left we see a single USB 3.0 port.

Moving at the rear of the enclosure we find the DSL port, phone port, 4 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports, and the DC in.

At the base of the FRITZ!Box 7560 we find four rubber feet, two vertical wall mounts and a large sticker which contains the serial number, barcode and the WiFi and interface passwords.

Accessing the interior of the unit is very easy and at first glance we notice it lacks two things compared to the 7590 model, a heatsink and Antennas.

On the PCB we see the Qualcomm IPQ4019 single-chip Wi-Fi SoC, Qualcomm QCA8075 five-port Ethernet transceiver, SC14448 DECT processor by dialog semiconductor, 256MB DDR3L DRAM by NANYA and a 128MB flash module by Macronix (some of the modules are on the opposite side of the PCB and so we couldn't take pictures of them).
