First Time LTE Router Setup

FTTC / Broadband / SoGEA

1. Removing Existing Broadband Equipment

If you've moved to Zen from a previous provider, carefully disconnect any equipment from your old ISP to make way for your new Zen FRITZ!Box.

2. Connecting the SIM and Antennas

Remove the SIM as Standard size from the packaging and insert this into the FRITZ!Box SIM card slot chip side down.

3. Connecting The DSL Cable

The FRITZ!Box's DSL cable will have two differently sized ends.

Plug the larger of the two into the grey DSL port on the back of the router.

Next, connect the other end of the DSL cable to the left input on your telephone socket.

If you have a standard (single input) telephone socket, plug your Microfilter into this and the cable into the Microfilter.

4. Connecting the Power Cable

Mains power connectors may come with a UK style head you have to clip onto them. Once done, connect this to a mains power socket.

Connect the remaining power cable to the back of your router.

5. Wait for 5 to 10 Minutes

Your router will need about 5-10 minutes to set itself up. It shouldn't need any help so go and make yourself a cup of tea whilst you wait.

When you come back, the Power/LTE.DSL light should be solid on the FRITZ!Box, meaning your router is ready to use!
