What do the indicator lights on your modem mean?

About: Internet, Telephony,

Is one of the lights not lit? Usually this is due to an improperly connected cable. Therefore, first check the cables of your modem.
Please note that some lights take a few minutes to come on.
Below you will find the explanation for each led light.

Power DSL:
• Permanent light: the modem is synchronised with the signal of your line.
• Flashing light: DSL synchronisation in progress. This can also happen after a reboot of the modem. If it continues flashing, the synchronisation is interrupted and you should contact us.

Internet:
• This light is not in use.

Fixed Line/Fon:

• Light on: you have VoIP. This gives you the possibility to connect a classic / analogue telephone to your modem.
• Flashing light: a classic / analogue telephone connected to the modem is in communication.
• Dimmed light: you do not have VoIP.

WLAN:

• Permanently on when the Wi-Fi signal is transmitted

Info:
The light is green when:
• a software update is happening
• the AVM wireless stick is being configured
• a DECT wireless telephone is registered with the FRITZ!Box
The light is red when:
• There is info in the modem to view. Then it is best to contact us.
