Not what you're looking for? Try the FRITZ!Box guides for ADSL configuration (wizard), Manual ADSL configuration, or Wireless configuration.
If you have just received your FRITZ!Box from Internode then you will not need to follow this guide. If you have purchased the FRITZ!Box elsewhere, or if you've performed a factory reset, you will need to follow all steps in this guide.
Configuring NodePhone VoIP and setting up your handset
Step 1
- Make sure that your computer is connected to the FRITZ!Box - either with an Ethernet cable, or over a wireless network.
- Open your preferred web browser, for example: Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
- Enter the following number into the address bar and then hit Enter on your keyboard:
- 192.168.178.1 (this number is called an IP Address).

Step 2
- The router will ask you for the administrative password. If you purchased your FRITZ!Box from Internode, your router has been pre-configured and the default password will be as follows:
Password: | admin (FRITZ!OS 7.0 and earlier) admin123 (FRITZ!OS 7.01 and later) |
---|---|
This is the router's default password. We recommend that you change the password for security reasons. |
- Once you have entered the password, click Log In.

If the default password does not work, it has likely been changed. If you do not know the password, you will need to factory reset your FRITZ!Box before you can access the user interface.
You can reset the FRITZ!Box to factory settings by clicking Forgot your password? and then Restore Factory Settings. Please note that this will overwrite all of your settings.
Once you have reset your FRITZ!Box to factory settings, you will be redirected to the setup wizard.
Step 3
- From the bottom of the left menu choose Wizards.
- Select Manage Telephony Devices.

Step 4
- The FRITZ!Box will display an alert stating that no telephone numbers are configured.

Step 5
- The wizard will ask how your FRITZ!Box is connected to your telephone line.
- If you have a standard ADSL service and a regular phone line:
Select Fixed-network line and DSL line. This will allow your telephone to make calls via NodePhone VoIP and your fixed-line telephone service. - If you have a NBN, FTTP, or Naked ADSL service:
Select IP-based line. You can also select this option if you don't intend to use a standard fixed-line telephone service.
- If you have a standard ADSL service and a regular phone line:
- Click Next to continue.

Make sure you include the area code and that there are no spaces in the number, for example: 0812345678. - Scroll down the screen to continue.
