How do I configure my FRITZ!Box if I only have a phone or a tablet – edpnet

Configuring your FRITZ!Box is easy—even if you don’t have any laptop or PC. Just use your phone or tablet to access the modem web interface and set up internet connection.

Step 1 — Connecting to the modem

First you need to enable Wi-Fi on your FRITZ!Box. Press the WLAN button and hold it down until the WLAN LED starts flashing.

Connect your phone or tablet to the wireless network you just enabled. It’s called FRITZ!Box 7530.

The password by default is printed on a label you may find on the back of the modem:

Step 2 — Opening the web interface

Once you have connected to the modem wireless network, open your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox,…) and go to the web interface of your FRITZ!Box. By default, it should be reachable on http://fritz.box or http://192.168.178.1.

You will be redirected to the wizard for the first basic configuration. Select English or another language if preferred.

Click on OK to continue.

Step 3 — Logging in

The language of the web interface has now changed to the language of your choice: in our case to English.

You will then need to enter the password of your FRITZ!Box. You can find it on the white sticker on the underside of the device:

Click Log in to continue.

Step 4 — Regional setting

Next you will see the screen asking to choose the regional setting.

Select Belgium option in a drop-down list and click on Apply.

Step 5 — Selecting the annex

The FRITZ!Box will ask you to select the Annex setting.

DSL	Fiber
Annex A: ADSL (PSTN or raw copper) Annex B: VDSL Choose the corresponding Annex setting and click on Next.	The Annex is a DSL standard and therefore is not relevant to the fiber configuration. Select whichever you prefer (A or B) and click on Next.

Step 6 — Reboot

The FRITZ!Box will now automatically reboot. It may take up to 2-3 minutes.

Step 7 — Welcome to the FRITZ!Box

At this step, the FRITZ!Box will suggest to enable Diagnostics and maintenance option, which means that the device will be sending technical diagnostics data to AVM. Feel free to enable or disable the setting.

Step 8 — Welcome screen

The next screen is the Welcome screen, where you can start the wizard to set up your internet connection. Click on Next.

IMPORTANT! If you purchased your FRITZ!Box not from edpnet, the automatic configuration is unfortunately not possible. In such a case, click on Cancel and proceed with manual configuration.

Step 9 — Choosing your ISP

In the wizard, you need to choose your Internet Service Provider.

DSL

Fiber

Choose EDPnet in a drop-down list and select EDPnet DSL option. Click on Next.

Choose EDPnet in a drop-down list and select EDPnet Fiber option. Click on Next.

Step 10 — Confirm the settings

If you have chosen EDPnet as your ISP, all the settings will be filled in automatically for your connection. Click on Next.

Fiber

Step 11 — Checking connection

Your FRITZ!Box will now try to connect.

If there is a green line, it means the configuration has been finished successfully.

If there is a red line, check if your modem/router is still connected to the DSL line / Fiber NT and if it gained synchronization (the Power LED should be on and not be blinking).
If you are not sure if your device is receiving a DSL/fiber signal, please, contact our customer service.

Step 11 — Manual configuration

These steps can be followed if your internet connection is still not working after you followed the above-mentioned steps of automatic configuration. This part of the guide continues the steps of automatic configuration.

Click on Internet in the main menu and then select Account Information in a drop-down list. Choose EDPnet in the drop-down list of Internet Service Provider. The only thing you have to fill in at this step is your connection credentials (username and password) which you received from edpnet. Then click on Apply.
