How do I configure my FRITZ!Box if I only have a phone or a tablet

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.
 

 

Step 1 — Connecting to the modem

 

First you need to enable Wi-Fi on your FRITZ!Box. Press the WLAN button and hold it down until the WLAN LED starts flashing:

If there is a red line, check if your modem/router is still connected to the DSL line and if it gained synchronization (the Power LED should be on and not be blinking).
If you are not sure if your device is receiving a DSL signal, please, contact our customer service.

Your telephone numbers will be configured by our server. Though, If you want to set up more than 3 numbers, the automatic configuration is not possible. If that is your case, check out our guide on how to make a manual configuration.
