The Fritz!Box 7490 is rather special, two SOCs on one board (lantiq base, with an ath79 board dealing with the wireless on top and special VLANs between them), while there has been progress to get this working, it has never been merged (or submitted for potential merging) to OpenWrt. (It's pretty complex, you'd need to build two image, one lantiq, and a specially crafted initramfs image for ath79, using a special configuration conduit between them, to initialize and run the wireless on the ath79 SOC). Additionally DECT and FXS of the AVM devices is not supported by OpenWrt (DECT isn't at all, for FXS uses a different approach than other lantiq devices). Look at the https://openwrt.org/toh/bt/homehub_v5a - that's still pretty much the best modem-router combination you can get (be aware of the performance limits of lantiq vr9 and the supported profiles, vectoring, but not super-vectoring) and find a different solution for your phone requirements (ATA, VoIP-DECT base, etc.). The forum has quite a lot of information about these devices and may be better suited to guide you on your search. Regards Stefan Lippers-Hollmann
