Hi @Sidh 

Welcome to our o2 Community. 

I am not sure, but i guess its worth a try: My colleagues once made a video which shows how to set up the router 6742

Maybe this helps you to get the box online.

If not maybe our beloved expert @Joe Doe has some more ideas, if i remember correctly he once tested a Homebox 3 in a friendly user trail.

@Sidh How long are you o2 customer? Why you get the Homebox 3? Problems with the old router/ line? Normal you don’t need enter any to any VOIP Pin for activation the internet / phone.

Hi,

I have been a costumer for more than 3 years now.

I had to change because my work VPN does not connect to the internet on the old router.

This is apparently a known issue with the GenuApp VPN software.

I was recommended to upgrade the router.

Except this, I never had any issues with the previous router.

Thanks for your help.

@Sidh Please call the hotline today and compare the serial number of the Homebox 3 with your customer data there.  Based on your description, I have the feeling that they are not stored correctly there.

Dear @Sidh ,

have you already been able to contact the hotline, as @Joe Doe suggested?

Kind regards,

Andrea

i have the same issue and the solution here is not resolved. i have tried restart and others action such as add in dynDNS taught by O2 technician and issue just never resolve. The homebox never activated and the red led internet keep blinking. the problem happen after the technician come to switch the bandwith. please help, this is driving me crazy!!

@john2301226 Was the bandwidh switch from ADSL 16Mbit to VDSL 50-100Mbit? If yes, than you must factory reset the Homebox with a neddle through the hole at back from the Homebox. (Press about 10 seconds)

Hi Joe, yes there is a switch of the bandwidh, after that i have done this many times of factory reset but it still not working. It stop at the access pin showing registering device to network and after 10mins it show error call for support. Please help on this as almost 72 hrs no internet and  i have to work from home.

@john2301226 only for verify. The Homebox is rented one from o2 and not get from a friend, buy an the the private market etc.?

Is rent from o2 and just receive weeks ago.

@john2301226 You must make a technical ticket at o2. You for this the o2 service app, get a pre ticket number and than call the English hotline. (See my link down)

I already have the pre ticket number using o2 service app. Is call vorgangsnummer and the number is xxxxxx. Are you able you assist on this?

Edit o2_Flo: Number anonymized / 23.11.2022

@john2301226 i can’t assist you. I am a customer like you. 

just to share that the issue resolved, is the o2 brand new router faulty after wasting my time of 3 days and keep calling o2 service and they refuse to send me a new router. thanks for the comment and advise.

Hello @john2301226 ,

welcome to the o2 Community .

Maybe I’ve just misunderstood you, but you have managed to resolve the issue, and the cause was faulty hardware? Are you using your own router now or are you still looking for a replacement device?

Kind regards, Sven

Yes, is the faulty hardware causing the problem, after i replace a new router which i purchase myself, it just connected immediately after i done the DSL setting. It work perfectly.

Hello @john2301226 ,

please send the old o2 Router that you won’t need anymore back in, the necessary documents can be found here: https://router-retoure.o2online.de/start/app/dashboard . That way you also won’t need to pay the monthly fee for the unit anymore.

Kind regards, Sven
