Glasfaseranschluss ohne Glasfaser Router?
Hallo Gemeinde,
demnächst bekomme ich einen Glasfaseranschluss und habe außerdem einen Router übertragen bekommen. Es handelt sich um einen etwas älteren Fritzbox Router, das Modell kann ich leider aktuell nicht benennen. Ein eingebautes Glasfaser Modem hat er auf jeden Fall nicht. Da ich keine Lust habe einen völlig neuen Router mit Glasfaser Modem zu kaufen, möchte ich nun fragen ob es reicht ein Glasfaser Modem der Telekom zu kaufen und daran dann den Fritzbox Router anzuhängen?
Funktioniert das auch wenn der Fritzbox Router etwas älter ist bzw. eigentlich auf DSL ausgelegt ist?
Von diesem Modem ist die Rede:

Danke bereits im Vorhinein 🙏🏻
The answer is as often: it depends. To understand: imagine your frit speaks English and the glass fiber modem spanish.
If your frit “speaks” the protocol to correctly address the fiberglass modem, you can also use it further. If I remember correctly, you can configure LAN1 as a WAN port.
If the glass fiber modem has a “router mode”, you can configure your frit to use the IP of the glass fiber modem as gateway and DNS server. In this case, please consider the correct configuration of the IP addresses, such as for subnet mask etc. otherwise you can get conflicts in the LAN. You also need to use LAN1 with the fiberglass modem.
If the fiberglass modem ( Telekom can give you information – 0800/33-0-1000) does not have a router function and does not support your old frit the standard, it will nix to continue using the old frit.
There are, however, refurbished Fritzboxen at Pearl or Pollin, which “can” the glass fiber protocol for real narrow money (30-40 euros or so), from…
Oh, and I add, of course: if your old frit is only 100MBit “can”, the glass fiber connection is, for example, a 200MBit or even 500MBit connection, the frit is the bottleneck, and more than 100MBit you will not be able to use with the old tube.
It’s a FritzBox! 7490
it can be both Gigabit network and fiberglass. Sure, they can take.
If your fiber optic connection has an ONT as a terminal in your house, you don’t need a router with GF connection but connect the router to the ont via normal lan cable.
Hello skeezyxx,
that fits. Buy the modem and then you can hang your router behind it. That works. Which one do you have? What rate did you order?

It’s a Fritzbox! 7490 Router 🙂
And what rate you ordered. The 7490 can be up to 100 MBit
No.
Why shouldn’t that go? I’d like to know
Of course it goes. Usually you get the fiberglass modem free from the provider and hang your own router over WAN or LAN1 connection (depending on router) behind it.
… it will work technically, but the question arises to me as to whether it makes sense. But since you cannot name your Fritz!Box model, the question remains open. Therefore, only in principle: If your Fritz!Box model is so old that it has only 100 MBit/s LAN ports or a 100 MBit/s WAN port (the router would have to be connected to the glass fiber modem), then this will be pointless as soon as you have completed a contract with a speed of more than 100 MBit/s.
Note: The internal DSL modem is disabled as soon as you say in the router configuration that the Fritz!Box is to be connected to the Internet via an existing LAN connection (meaning the external modem)
It’s a FritzBox! 7490. So 1300 Mbit/s at 5Ghz.
What does WLAN have to do with the answer?
I’m talking about LAN/WAN ports and you’ll come with a theoretical Wi-Fi performance in the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band around the corner. Completely irrelevant with regard to the answer and your question.
But to calm down: From Manual of 7490:
LAN: 4 network connections via RJ45 sockets (standard Ethernet, 10/100/1000 Base-T), 1 Gbit/s
So no problem – You need to connect the box to the modem via “LAN 1” (The box has no separate WAN port)
Excuse the confusion, just don’t be so deep in the subject.
So: Attach glass fiber modem to the socket, then connect modem via LAN to the frit, correct?
Is this a disadvantage, or does it work “slower” because I have to connect it to LAN instead of WAN?
Thanks for your help 🙏🏻
Yes, it can only be that your network at home is slower than your internet if the FritzBox has only 100mbit connections but your internet is 10x so fast.
That’s right. is it 👍
It’s a FritzBox! 7490. So 1300 Mbit/s at 5Ghz.
Again: the WLAN is irrelevant to operate the router at the connection
yes you can do in general, but then you get to the frit
HERE Set up FRITZ!Box at fiber connection | FRITZ!Box 7590 | AVM Germany mal ne tutorial and depending on the Fritz!OS version, the set-up is now
It’s a FritzBox! 7490. So 1300 Mbit/s at 5Ghz.
And on? I don’t care about Wi-Fi and also the connection not
Just switch to the 7490 under the specified link and make sure that the current Fritz!OS is installed
