Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a TalkTalk line

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with TalkTalk. Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the internet connection and select TalkTalk as the internet service provider in the FRITZ!Box. The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, multimedia, and smart home is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.

Important:Currently, we do not have any information about whether the FRITZ!Box can make calls over TalkTalk and if so, how to configure the phone numbers in the FRITZ!Box. As soon as we have any new information, we will update this guide.

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 fibre optic modem (ONT, Optical Network Termination). For detailed information, refer to the quick guide included with the FRITZ!Box and the manual.

  1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Enter the FRITZ!Box password given on the type label of the FRITZ!Box and click on 'Log In'.
