New user with old router

11 months ago

Hello! I would like to ask if I already have a router left by my previous tenant(Smart4 TypA) and signed a new network contract of my own matched to this router a few days ago. In order confirmation it starts from 13.08.2024. Should I just wait till 13.08 ? And how can I set up this old router?

      Ho @costello ,

      if your contract starts Aug 13th you have to wait until that day to connect. If you have a router I would recommend that you do a factory reset before connecting in the evening of Aug 13th. Then the setup should be fully automatic.

      Factory reset is detailed in the user manual:

      1. Router has to be powered up and running.

      2. Press the reset button for 5 seconds with a thin pen.

      3. Wait for 3 minutes and then disconnect the router from the power.

      4. Connect router to power again, the router starts within 3 minutes.

       

      I would recommend not to connect any other cables before 1. And then connect the DSL cable before 4.

       

      Good luck,

      Coole Katze

      @costello: On August 13, the Internet connection and telephony will be set up automatically.

      You can access the UI of the Smart 4 via

       

      http://speedport.ip

       

      You can then select English as the language. The device password, Wi-Fi name and key can be found on the type plate at the base of the Smart 4.


      If the Smart 4 was used by the previous tenant, you should perform a factory reset before setting it up.
