Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with a fiber optic connection from DNS:NET
The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with DNS:NET. Have DNS:NET activate the FRITZ!Box, connect the FRITZ!Box to the fiber optic connection, and enter your personal account information in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, telephony, and television (DNS:NET IPTV) is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.
Requirements / Restrictions
- A FRITZ!Box with the SFP module "FRITZ!SFP GPON" is required for GPON fiber optic connections.
- A FRITZ!Box with the SFP module "FRITZ!SFP XGS-PON" is required for XGS-PON fiber optic connections.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Having your account information ready
- Have your personal account information for internet access and the login information for telephony that you received from DNS:NET ready.
Note:You will find your account information in the DNS:NET customer portal under "Meine Dienste > Fiber > Zugangsdaten > Passwörter anzeigen". If your account information is not displayed there, contact DNS:NET.
2 Unlocking your FRITZ!Box
- Call DNS:NET's customer service at 030 66765111 and ask whether your fiber optic connection is switched with GPON or XGS-PON and have them unlock the FRITZ!Box for your line. For this, give them the "modem ID" on the FRITZ!Box's type label.
3 Inserting the SFP module into the FRITZ!Box
- Insert the SFP module that is suitable for your fiber optic connection into the fiber slot of the FRITZ!Box:
- If you have a GPON fiber optic connection, insert the SFP module "FRITZ!SFP GPON" into the fiber slot of the FRITZ!Box.
- If you have an XGS-PON fiber optic connection, insert the SFP module "FRITZ!SFP XGS-PON" into the fiber slot of the FRITZ!Box.
Important:If you do not know what kind of fiber optic connection you have, test all of the SFP modules supplied with the FRITZ!Box. The Power/Fiber LED on the FRITZ!Box remains lit as soon as the FRITZ!Box is connected to the fiber optic connection using the correct SFP module.
4 Connecting the FRITZ!Box to your fiber optic connection
- Remove the dust protection caps from the fiber optic cable, the SFP module in the FRITZ!Box, and from the fiber optic socket.
- Connect the fiber optic cable to the SFP module in the FRITZ!Box and to the fiber optic socket. Do not bend the fiber optic cable and do not hold the ends of the cable in front of your eyes.
Note:You can find information on selecting a suitable fiber optic cable in our guide Which fiber optic cable do I need?
