Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a Fiber line

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with Fiber Nederland. Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the fiber optic connection and select Fiber as the internet service provider in the FRITZ!Box.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, multimedia, and smart home is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.

Important:Currently, we do not have any information about how to use Fiber's telephony function with the FRITZ!Box. As soon as we find out, we will update this guide.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • A FRITZ!Box with the SFP module "FRITZ!SFP AON" is required for AON fiber optic connections.
  • The FRITZ!Box cannot be used directly with GPON fiber optic connections. However, on a GPON connection you can configure the FRITZ!Box for the Internet connection via "WAN" and use it behind the fiber optic modem from Fiber.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

1 Inserting the SFP module into the FRITZ!Box

The FRITZ!Box is available in several different product variants, each of which is delivered with different components. If there was no SFP module inserted in your FRITZ!Box, perform the following steps:

  1. Insert the SFP module "FRITZ!SFP AON" into the fiber slot of the FRITZ!Box.
