The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with Wingo. Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the fibre optic modem and configure the internet connection 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.

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