Hi. We recently move to a new apartment and decided to take our connection with us. We ordered the move and received a confirmation email that it will be activated on 13.02.2024. We did connect the rented router before the activation date as per email to our new apartment. We didn't change or reset the router, we just disconnect it from our old apartment to the new apartment but I can browse the internet just fine. But right after 12am on the activation date (13.02.2024), the router restart and reset its settings and the internet is gone. I am thinking because it is the activation date and because of our moving. We waited for 24 hours, and now 14.02.2024, after 24 hours, we still doesn't have internet. As per checking on meine o2 app and website, our moving order was completed. I can also see there is our old connection which it says deactivated. And our new connection that it says it was activated on 13.02.2024. Please help! 

 

Also, for your information. Last year, we got a problem that they sent another router, we ask and was told to refuse it. But they change our mac address to the 2nd router they send. It was solve here for the request to change it back previously to how it was. Now we have move, please also check the mac address if this is correct as it might be the problem again. Last number of CM MAC is 50.

Hello @Cess1111 ,

it’s of course unfortunate that you are having internet troubles right after the move. Could you tell us which of the LEDs on your router are currently on or blinking and if you’ve taken a look at it, what is the log of the FritzBox displaying?

 

Kind regards, Sven


The power/cable LED is blinking. WLAN LED is on. The rest are not. And what do you mean by log? I can see that the cables are connected but no upstream or downstream. They work just fine before the activation date, but now it is not.

 

I reset and restart it multiple times, reconnect the cables, use o2 service. None of it is working.

 

I also recently talk with the english customer service and they said that the problem might be the mac address is not yet registered. So they make a request for it. Can you also please check with that. That would be helpful. Thank you


Update : called the english hotline again today and they can't find what suppose to be the problem. I am browsing some old problems here at community and some suggest that the router might be still be binded on the old contract that was deactivated after the move. I don't know anymore. Please help @o2_Sven.


Hello @Cess1111 ,

the MAC-Address is properly bound to the currently used contract and address, so that should not be the issue. A ticket with our technical department has been opened, so hopefully this should lead to a solution for your issue quickly.

 

Kind regards, Sven

Hi @o2_Sven,

So the mac address is not the problem anymore? We can use the internet before the activation just fine. We just disconnect it from our old apartment and connect the cable to our new apartment. But when the activation date came. The router just reset and now we don't have internet anymore. It was perfectly fine before. Hoping for a fix soon.


Hello @Cess1111 ,

how are things with the connection looking? From what I can see you had a technician that came over and you are now online again?
