Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with another DSL modem

You can use your FRITZ!Box with an additional ADSL, SDSL, or VDSL modem, even if the FRITZ!Box does not support the DSL standard used by your internet connection.

Since the FRITZ!Box establishes and controls its own internet connection over the DSL modem, all FRITZ!Box functions (such as firewall, telephony) are also available without restriction in this operating mode.

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

  2. Insert the other end of the network cable into the LAN port on the DSL modem.

2 Configuring the internet connection in the FRITZ!Box

  1. Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.

  3. Click on the "Internet Connection" tab and then on the "DSL / WAN" tab.
