Optic fiber connection setup with Glasfaser Modem 2 and my own WiFi router

1 year ago

I have a fiber connection MagentaZuhause XXL via Glasfaser Modem 2 and I would like to use it with my own WiFi router instead if SpeedPort. My router is capable of PPPOE as well as other connection options and I wonder how do I get the details to set it up?

Most important for Telekom lines is to use PPPoE over VLAN7.

@OlehK the router needs to be set up for PPPoE over VLAN7.

You should receive (or already have received) a sheet with your PPPoE username and password for dial-in. New connections from Deutsche Telekom are preconfigured with a feature called "easy login", where the network will accept any username und password, no Matter if it is correct or not. Technically this is not a security issue because only your fiber modem is able to connect to your line, however you can enable credentials verification in the customer center by disabling Easy Login .

Is this a new line, or have you been using it before, just with a different router? If it's new, you will receive a link to a website for modem registration. Click the link and follow the instructions before you connect the modem for the first time.

Or according to your message just put whatever and if it’s PPPoE over VLAN7 it should just work?

This. Or just leave the fields empty, provided the TP-Link accepts that.

By the way, the Speedport router isn't provided for free with the line, you probably signed a rental agreement and are paying a monthly fee for it. Usually, these rental agreements are fixed for 12 months, after which you can terminate the lease and send the box back if you don't need it.

Yes it’s rental but I’m still within my return period. Because of how cables are built inside the apartment I can’t use the router with build in modem, it simply won’t fit the network cabinet and even if it did that would be a poor placement for a WiFi router, I got a modem from a friend instead so now renting this device makes no sense to me as I only use it as a wifi spot.

Good evening @OlehK , as I have seen, you already got some useful support. Did you already send the rented device back? Otherwise you can create your retoure-label on this site.

Kind regards Sven Ö.
