Set up Speedport Smart - how it works

In our practical tip you will learn how to set up the Speedport Smart, a router with which you are well equipped for TV and video streaming, IP telephony, high-speed Internet and Smart Home.

Speedport Smart: Set up Internet and WiFi

1. Connect your computer or tablet to the router using a network cable or WiFi.
2. Call //speedport.ip or //192.168.2.1 in the web browser. This will take you to the furnishing program. Enter your device password, which you can find on the nameplate of the Speedport Smart, and log in.
3. After the first login, an assistant will guide you through setting up your Speedport Smart. Follow the instructions on the screen and have your access data ready.
4. Enter your access number and your personal password in the fields provided. Click on Continue". The connection is now being tested. If the setup was successful, press "Next".
5. In the next dialog you can set up your WLAN. You can assign your own WLAN name (also called SSID). For security reasons, you should also enter your own WLAN key, i.e. your password for the WLAN. Confirm your entries with "Next".
6. Note: If you are a Telekom home start customer, cancel the assistant and switch to the "Internet" tab in the configuration overview. Under "Access data" select the entry "Telekom at home start". Enter your user name and your contract password and save the configuration.

Speedport Smart: Set up telephony

• Now you can connect your phones to the Speedport Smart and assign your phone numbers to the devices. Click on "Connect phone" and choose whether you use an analog phone, a fax machine or a DECT handset such as the Speedphone.
• If you want to connect an analog telephone, click the "Analog telephone or fax machine" button. Here you can give the connections a name and select the connected device type.
• To register a handset, click on "Speedphone". Follow the instructions on your DECT phone to register with a DECT base station. In the Speedport Smart setup dialog, press "Register handset". When you log in, the "Log in / WPS" indicator on the front of the router flashes.
• If you have several phone numbers, you can use "Assign phone numbers" to specify that your fax sends and receives via one phone number and your phone via another.

Complete the setup of the Speedport Smart

1. You can then determine whether your settings should be automatically saved on a Telekom server - in the event that you have to replace your router once.
2. To complete the setup, click "Next" and then "Finish".
3. If the "Online" and "Telephony" lights on the Speedport Smart are now continuously lit and your Internet connection is working, you have successfully set up your Speedport Smart.

If you have another provider

If you chose an Internet provider other than Telekom, cancel the wizard. You have to enter your provider's access data manually.

1. Switch to the "Internet" tab in the configuration overview.
2. Under "Access data", select the entry "Other provider" as the provider.
3. Depending on your provider, further settings are necessary, e.g. the MTU value or the choice between dynamic and fixed IP address.
