Hi all ,

sorry for not typing in german language . I'm waiting for the activation of my Internet and i didn't choose any router due to the fact that i already used the O2 router and it lacks a lot of usefull options that i really need . So im trying to buy a new Router and after talking to the customer Services they said it should be a VDSL router and it should support IP something ... can you guys give me full information about how the new router should be which options that it should have ? am i gonna be able to use the phone with the new router or not ( phone is optional )

Recommendation: buy a Fritzbox! Good modells : 7530, 7590, 7490, 7430 (low budget)
Technical specifications: https://www.telefonica.de/impressum/schnittstellenbeschreibungen-der-netzbetreiber-nach-fteg-5.html

Hi NoCanDo
I recommand the Fritzbox 7490, via eBay you shoud find a low-priced used one. Why the 7490? In case of a problem with your DSL its easier to create a trouble ticket if you use a router which can found in our portfolio.
But to get back to your question: The TP-Link TD-W9970 should work, but there is no official support from our technical support.

It is possible to order a router after activation of your DSL. How to use the phone if your router has no isdn port? I would say there is no way to use it.

Depends from Modem-Router!
The Fritzbox is the favorite box in Germany, because you can access the fixed line via App&WLAN from your mobile phone. But you need a Fritzbox with VoIP-support!
With other routers, you need a ISDN-phone or a phone with "analog port" and TAE-connector(same at the wall) or sometimes DECT.
Therefore a Fritzbox is a cheap and comfortable all-in-one-solution instead of multiple boxes and devices and a higher likelyhood of errors.

If there is no port its not possible to connect a phone that is what Klaus_VoIP mentioned earlier.
As i said easiert way is to buy a used 7490 at ebay or amazon, or get back to us after activation and rent a 7490 for 3,99 Euro per month.
