You want to connect the FRITZ!Box with a DSL line? ✔ It's easy with this step-by-step guide.

You can connect your FRITZ!Box with a DSL line or a DSL line with an additional telephone line (analog or ISDN).

In this guide we show you how to connect your FRITZ!Box with a DSL line. If you have a DSL line with an additional telephone line, proceed as described in the guide Connecting the FRITZ!Box with the DSL and telephone line (analog / ISDN).

Requirements

  • The DSL line must comply with a DSL standard supported by the FRITZ!Box.

1 Connecting the FRITZ!Box

Note:The FRITZ!Box comes with the cables required for use in the country in which it was purchased. Other cables can be purchased from an electronics retailer, or you can make your own using the guide Assignment of cables, adapters, and sockets. Our sales team can provide you with information on country-specific FRITZ!Box models.

  1. Insert the DSL cable into the "DSL" socket on the FRITZ!Box and into the socket labeled "F" on the telephone jack or into the DSL line.
