# Connect your router to the fibre box

The router connects to the fibre box with a network cable and should get its address automatically. That applies both to your own router and to the router from us.

## Before you start

- You need a network cable and a router. The router isn’t included with the broadband.

## How to connect it

1. Connect a network cable from the fibre box’s LAN port to the router’s **WAN** port, often labelled **Internet**.

   Don’t use the fibre box’s WAN port.

### A. Your own router

You already have a router.

2. Check that the router gets its address automatically (DHCP).

   It doesn’t work with a fixed IP address.

3. Restart the router.

### B. Router from Inleed (Comfast)

You bought the router from us.

2. Restart the router.

3. Connect to the wifi network `COMFAST_XXXX`, where XXXX is the last 4 characters of the router’s MAC address.

   You reach the router’s settings at this address `http://192.168.0.1`.

## How to know it worked

The internet works through the router and its wifi.

## If something doesn’t work

### No internet through the router

**What to do:** Unplug everything except the power and the WAN cable, and test again. If that doesn’t help, go through the troubleshooting.

### I can’t find the wifi name and password

**What to do:** They’re usually on a label on the router. We don’t have them.

## Good to know

- A router isn’t included with the broadband. You can buy one from us.
- You can use your own router if it isn’t locked to another provider. A router for coaxial cable won’t work.
