Hello everyone!
In the next few weeks, our FTTH connection will be activated by the telecom provider.
I received a fiber optic router from an acquaintance. It is not from the telecom provider!!
Unfortunately, I can’t find any option in the configuration to enter login credentials...
With FTTH technology, does the router automatically authenticate itself?
Or will the router not work with the telecom provider’s connection?
The router is a Genexis Platinum-7840 fiber optic router.

It’s like talking to a wall.. Nobody has FTTH at home, but everyone talks away wildly.
Well, I think the original poster understands that there is absolutely no alternative to the Telekom modem, and not every router will work. That’s as far as I understood. I will order the Fritzbox 7530 and that’s it.

Since I currently don’t have a fiber optic connection, I can’t test this myself and am therefore still waiting for the first success report on this matter.
Regarding router compatibility, almost all routers that support PPPoE should work in practice, but due to potentially required advanced configurations, this might not be a viable option for all standard users.

I understand that much. I will order the Fritzbox 7530 and be done with it.As I mentioned: I would rather consider a router without Wi-Fi and instead strategically place access points — or just turn off Wi-Fi on the Fritzbox, but then you wouldn’t really need to pay (expensively) for it in the first place.

PPPoE-capable routers work Exactly, you’re right, but for example, the OP’s router doesn’t seem to support that.
From my experience about a year ago, not all routers work with PPPoE, for instance some of the smaller Fritzbox models—but what exactly they lack (?)
