Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a Sunrise line

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

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

How to connect the cables depends on which socket your telephone socket has:

  1. Use a network cable to connect the port marked "DSL" on the FRITZ!Box to the LAN socket on the telephone socket, for example use the network cable included with delivery.

Telephone socket with Reichle socket

  1. Insert the Reichle adapter (TT89/RJ11) into the Reichle socket of the telephone socket.
