Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a Sky WiFi line

To use the FRITZ!Box with Sky WiFi, simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the internet connection and configure the internet connection and telephony in the FRITZ!Box. 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.

Important:Sky is currently converting internet connections to the MAP-T protocol, which is not supported by FRITZ!Box. On an internet connection with MAP-T, connect the FRITZ!Box with the router from Sky and proceed as described in the guide Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with another router.

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. Either connect the FRITZ!Box to the DSL line or use the "LAN 1" port to connect the FRITZ!Box with the fiber optic modem (ONT, Optical Network Termination). For detailed information, refer to the quick guide included with the FRITZ!Box and the manual.

2 Configuring the internet connection in the FRITZ!Box

  1. Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Account Information" in the "Internet" menu.
