Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with an Adamo line

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with Adamo. Simply 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, multimedia, and smart home is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.

Important:Currently, the FRITZ!Box can only be used directly on fiber optic lines from Adamo with internet connections without telephony.

Requirements / Restrictions

  • FRITZ!Box with SFP module 'FRITZ!SFP GPON'

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