This tutorial intends to help international customers to successfully configurate a Fritz!Box for using it with an o2 (V)DSL connection.
Important NOTE! Since the firmware version 7.20 got released you can change the system language of a German Fritz!Box to the following options: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Polish.
Unfortunately, changing the system language is only possible after finishing the intitial setup with the setup assistent which is only available in German.
The following will explain to you how to do that step by step.
First connect the Fritz!Box to the TAE socket using the grey DSL cable. Then power up the Fritz!Box with the included power supply. Now you can connect to the Fritz!Box via LAN cable or WiFi (WPA2 password is located on the bottom of the router). This is done via internet browser by visiting: http://fritz.box.
