Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with a fibre optic connection

You want to use the FRITZ!Box with a fibre optic modem? ✔ It's easy with this guide.

Not only can you use your FRITZ!Box with an integrated DSL modem on a DSL line, you can also use it with an additional fibre optic modem on a fibre optic connection (fibre to the Home, FTTH).

Since the FRITZ!Box establishes and controls its own internet connection over the fibre optic modem, all FRITZ!Box functions (such as firewall, telephony) are also available without restriction in this operating mode.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
