Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with an M-net DSL line

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with M-net. Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the DSL line and enter your personal account information in the FRITZ!Box user interface. If M-net provided you with the FRITZ!Box, it will be configured automatically.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, telephony, and TV (M-net TVplus) is then available to all of the devices in the 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.

1 Having your account information ready

  1. Have your personal account information for internet access and the account information for telephony that you received from M-net ready.

    Note:You can find the account information in the confirmation of your order from M-net. If you did not receive your account information, contact M-net.

2 Connecting the FRITZ!Box to your DSL line

  1. Insert the DSL cable (Y cable) into the 'DSL' socket on the FRITZ!Box.
  2. Insert the 'DSL 1' cable end into the DSL socket and leave the 'DSL 2' cable end hanging. If you are using the FRITZ!Box on a VDSL bonding line, also insert the cable end 'DSL 2' into the VDSL bonding socket.
