Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with an E.ON Highspeed DHL line

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with E.ON Highspeed (formerly innogy). Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the DSL line and enter your personal account information in the FRITZ!Box user interface. If E.ON Highspeed provided you with the FRITZ!Box, it will be configured automatically.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, telephony, and multimedia 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.

1 Having your account information ready

  1. Have your personal account information for internet access and the login information for telephony that you received from E.ON Highspeed ready.

    Note:You can also find your account information in E.ON Highspeed's customer portal. If your account information is not displayed there, contact E.ON Highspeed.

2 Connecting the FRITZ!Box with your DSL line
