For my now 86-year-old grandfather, I made a contract change to Telekom because of a significantly lower price and a better internet. Even in his old age my grandfather still uses a laptop, smartphone and desktop PC.
Since I unfortunately can't be with him at the start date of the new contract and he lives scarcely 120km away, I have already explained everything to him as he joins the new FritzBox. This he should actually get it right, otherwise I'm still there by phone.
Now to my question: Does the FritzBox after the startup at the new provider (despite the same number) after the first commissioning via avm.de be set up, or can you connect immediately after plugging with the existing network key of the bottom immediately normal? So almost, if you have to update the FritzBox first etc.
Although he gets along well with the well-known things in the network, but something new as the router set up is just something new and with 86 not so easy to deal with.
If necessary, I can arrange someone to help him, I just have to know beforehand.
So with my Archer VR200v TP-LINK I had to try it out a bit until I entered the correct numbers in the right place…
but most of it went by itself…
that should work even better with AVM…
Updates should be done by yourself these days…
Already, I know that myself too.
But do you have to do this "hurdle" in the beginning, or can you start right away and just leave the default configuration?
Normally you have to enter at least one code word, although it is already known by the management that you are authorized, and who you are…
everything is a bit weird… LOL
but that probably works fine, because there's a step-by-step guide will be there… For me, it's even almost every 2 years almost seamlessly… Wake up in the morning and power on and off and enter code and finished…
When offering change the new access data must be entered into the Fritzbox. This is not about avm.de, but on the web interface of the router, which you call with fritz.box or 192.168.178.1.
The AVM devices have a very good setup wizard, which sets up the box completely. That should even be done easily by your father. He only needs the access data of the new provider.
Otherwise, there are good instructions on AVM.de and youtube.
Before you have not entered the new access data, you do not get to the Internet.
Yes I know…
but there's certainly ne illustrated instructions here…
Incidentally, I thought: entering the access data is actually superfluous, because the network operator knows who owns the line and who is his ISP… Does it?
So "better and cheaper Internet" at Telekom I dare to doubt.
To your question:
Your grandfather gets before the connection of the connection a slip with access data from the telecom.
The must then be entered into the FritzBox.
For this he must know the password of the FritzBox and navigate after logging in Internet. Here is the point "access data". There he then enters the data from his piece of paper 1 to 1.
That there's something favorable of the telecom has also surprised me, but it is indeed so.
Does the site open automatically when it opens the browser for the first time with a new internet, or does one have to enter the link first? Otherwise, thank you.
Good thank you
The Telekom makes only Lockangebote which become expensive again after some months. He does not have to enter a "link" but the address of the Fritzbox. There's a video for that:
Normally it goes over http://fritz.box
It does not work automatically
As a rule, the connections of telekom BNG i. The box pulls the necessary data for the access to the internet automatically has always worked with us…
Hardly any network operator does the work to enter the access data for each customer.
I had already twice in a 1% 1 delivered Fritzbox enter the access data itself.
