Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a DSL line from A1

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with A1 and gives you access to all features, including internet, telephony, and television (A1 TV).

Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the DSL line and select A1 as the internet service provider in the FRITZ!Box. The FRITZ!Box is then automatically configured by A1.

Important:The FRITZ!Box cannot be used on an A1 hybrid line. The SIM card for the hybrid line can only be used in an A1 Hybrid Box. However, you can set up the FRITZ!Box so that it uses the internet connection of the A1 Hybrid Box.

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

1 Connecting the FRITZ!Box

  1. Insert the DSL cable into the "DSL" socket on the FRITZ!Box and into the left socket of your telephone jack marked with a triangle (see fig.).
