Just follow the steps below to configure your router manually. Before you start the process, make sure you have the password that was posted to you.

First of all, check the software version of your FRITZ!Box and if possible launch an update:

• Open your usual browser (Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.).

• In the address bar, type “fritz.box” or enter the local IPv4 address of your Fritzbox 7490. By default, this will be 192.168.178.1. -> Enter.

Or

• Type in your password to enter the user interface.

• Once in the interface, check that you are in “advanced” and not “standard” mode in the three-dot menu at the top-right of the page. You can only configure your router in advanced mode.

Let’s now configure your FRITZ!Box! Before you start configuring your router, you must know:

• your internet username sent to you by post.

the type of your line (VDSL, VDSL-Bonding, GPON or GPON XL), in exemple:

• VDSL2 for BAMBOO S/M with a connection to the DSL/TEL port of the FRITZ!Box

• VDSL2-Bonding for BAMBOO M with a Sagemcom/ZTE connection to the LAN1 port

• GPON for BAMBOO S/M/L/XL with a connection to the LAN1 port

To configure your FRITZ!Box, click on “Internet” and select the “Account Information” sub-menu under “Internet Service Provider”, select “POST LUXEMBOURG” and in “Type of connection” choose your profile:

• POST xDSL Mono > For VDSL2 Bamboo S/M.
