Step 1 — Opening the web interface |
|
 |
|
|
Open your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox,…) and go to the web interface of your FRITZ!Box. By default, it should be reachable on http://fritz.box or http://192.168.178.1. You will be redirected to the wizard for the first basic configuration. Select English or another language if preferred. Click on Next to continue. |
|
Step 2 — Logging in |
|
 |
|
|
The language of the web interface has now changed to the language of your choice. First of all, you need to enter the password of your FRITZ!Box. You can find it on the white sticker on the underside of the device: |
|
Step 3 — Regional setting |
|
 |
|
|
Next you will see the screen asking to choose the regional setting. Select Belgium in a drop-down menu and click on Apply. |
|
Step 4 — Selecting the annex |
|
 |
|
|
The FRITZ!Box will ask you to select the Annex setting. The Annex is a DSL standard and therefore is not relevant to the fiber configuration. Select whichever you prefer (A or B) and click on Next. |
|
Step 5 — Reboot |
|
 |
|
|
The FRITZ!Box will now automatically reboot. It may take up to 2-3 minutes. |
|
Step 6 — Welcome to the FRITZ!Box |
|
 |
|
|
At this step, the FRITZ!Box will suggest to enable Diagnostics and maintenance option, which means that the device will be sending technical diagnostics data to AVM. Feel free to enable or disable the setting. |
|
Step 7 — Wizard |
|
 |
|
|
The next screen is the Welcome screen. Click on Next to start the wizard. If you purchased your FRITZ!Box not from edpnet, the automatic configuration is unfortunately not possible. In such a case, click on Cancel and proceed with manual configuration (see Step 11). Don't worry, it won't take more than a few minutes! |
|
Step 8 — Account Information |
|
 |
|
|
In the wizard, you need to choose your Internet Service Provider. Choose EDPnet in a drop-down list and select EDPnet Fiber option. Click on Next. |
|
Step 9 — Confirm settings |
|
 |
|
|
If you have chosen EDPnet as your ISP, all the settings will be filled in automatically for your connection. Click on Next. |
|
Step 10 — Checking internet connection |
|
 |
|
|
Your device will now try to connect. |
|
Step 11 — Manual configuration |
|
 |
|
|
These steps can be followed if your internet connection is still not working after you followed the above-mentioned steps of automatic configuration. This part of the guide continues the steps of automatic configuration. Click on Internet in the main menu and then select Account Information in a drop-down list. Choose EDPnet in the drop-down list of Internet Service Provider. The only thing you have to fill in at this step is your connection credentials (username and password) which you received from edpnet. Then click on Apply. |
|
No worries! Configuring your FRITZ!Box is easy—even if you don’t have any laptop or PC. Just use your phone or tablet to access the modem web interface and set up internet connection.
