The modem\/router purchased from FASTfiber<\/a> is already configured<\/strong> and you just need to connect. If you want to use your own modem\/router (not purchased from FASTfiber) for your fiber or VDSL connection, you will find more information below to configure it manually, as well as the list of approved modems\/routers.<\/p>\n

For FIBER (over the Proximus network)<\/h1>\n

Modems and firmware that I can use on the FIBER network<\/h2>\n

For Fiber you can choose the brand and type of router yourself as long as it has the following specifications:<\/p>\n

\u2713 Being able to build a PPP connection.
\n\u2713 Support VLAN 10 tagging.
\n\u2713 Have a gigabit Ethernet port (otherwise the speed is limited to 100 Mbps).<\/p>\n

You then connect your router to the LAN port 1 of your Fiber NT (ONT).
\nWe recommend the router\u00a0FRITZ!Box 7530\u00a0which we sell ourselves, fully support and with which you can also use the\u00a0Mesh WiFi bundle<\/a>\u00a0can connect to have good WiFi signal in all areas of your home.<\/p>\n

Example of manual settings for a Fritzbox for fiber.<\/h3>\n

1. Connect to the Wi-Fi of the Fritzbox and log in to the FritzBox GUI by typing the following in an internet browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.): http:\/\/fritz.box\/<\/p>\n

The password is shown on the sticker at the bottom of the modem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the menu on the left, click on “Account information” and then on the tab “Internet connection”. If a wizard appears instead, you need to close it.<\/p>\n

Choose “Other internet service provider” under Internet service provider.<\/p>\n

Under “Connect via”, select: Connection to an external modem or router.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scroll down:<\/p>\n

Under “Operating mode”, select: Establish own connection to the internet.<\/p>\n

In “Account information”, enter your internet username and password<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scroll down:<\/p>\n

Activate “Use VLAN for internet access” and enter the value 10 in VLAN-ID.<\/p>\n

The configuration is complete. Click on Apply to activate your internet connection.<\/p>\n

Fiber modem I can use on the FIBER network<\/h3>\n

At the moment, you cannot yet use your own fiber modem, but starting from 1\/11\/2024, that will change.<\/a><\/p>\n

For VDSL (over the Proximus network)<\/h1>\n

Modems and firmware that I can use on the VDSL network<\/h2>\n
