Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a Scarlet line

To use the FRITZ!Box with a Scarlet line, simply connect it to the DSL line and enter your personal account information in the FRITZ!Box user interface.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet and smart home is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.

Important:According to our information, Scarlet currently only supports telephony with routers that they provide themselves. If we find out that telephone numbers from Scarlet can be configured in the FRITZ!Box, we will update this guide.

  1. Have your personal account information for internet access that you received from Scarlet ready.

    Note:Scarlet sent you the account information via email after you concluded the contract with them. If you did not receive your account information, contact Scarlet.

2 Connecting the FRITZ!Box
