How do I login to my LIWEST router?

For the standard FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable, go to http://fritz.box or 192.168.178.1. For older Arris/Technicolor modems, try http://192.168.0.1. The password is usually on the sticker under the device.

What is the '24-Stunden-Speed-Speed' option?

This is a flexible upgrade allowing you to boost your download speed to a higher tier for exactly 24 hours for a small fee (e.g., €5). Useful for downloading large games or files quickly without changing your monthly contract.

Can I use my own router with LIWEST?

Yes, but you usually need to keep the LIWEST modem in 'Bridge Mode' and connect your own router (e.g., ASUS, Netgear) to it. Contact support to enable Bridge Mode if the option is hidden in your modem's interface.

LIWEST Speed Test

This tool measures your internet connection specifically for LIWEST users in Upper Austria (Linz, Wels, Steyr). Whether you use the standard "Kabel-Internet" or the newer fiber options, accurate testing helps verify if you are getting the speed you pay for.

LIWEST operates primarily on a DOCSIS 3.1 cable network. This means download speeds can be ultra-fast (up to 1000 Mbps), but upload speeds are typically lower (50-100 Mbps).

Interpreting Your LIWEST Results

Download Speed:
- Giga Speed: Wired tests should reach ~940 Mbps.
- Standard Plans (250/500): Should be within 90% of the target.
If your result is exactly 94 Mbps, check your LAN cable (it might be old CAT5).

Upload Speed: Crucial for cloud backups and video calls. If usage is high in your neighborhood node, upload speeds can fluctuate more than download speeds.

Ping (Latency): Typically 10-25ms to Vienna/Linz servers. Perfect for most gaming, though slightly higher than pure FTTH fiber.

LIWEST Router Login & Hardware

Most LIWEST customers receive a FRITZ!Box Cable or an Arris modem. Knowing how to access them is key for troubleshooting.

Device Model	Login & Details

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Slow WiFi in Apartment Blocks:
In cities like Linz, 2.4 GHz WiFi is often congested. Force your devices to use 5 GHz by separating the SSID in the router settings (e.g., "MyWiFi_5G").

TV Artifacts + Slow Internet:
Since TV and Internet share the same coaxial cable, pixelation on TV channels while the internet drops usually indicates a loose cable or a damaged signal splitter. Check all screw connectors.

The "24-Stunden-Speed-Speed" Upgrade

LIWEST offers a unique feature where you can book a speed boost for 24 hours. If your test result jumps significantly after activating this, your physical line is healthy, and your regular plan was the bottleneck.

When to Contact LIWEST Support (0732 94 21 11)

Contact support if:

Your modem's "Online" or "Cable" light is blinking (no sync).

You need to switch your modem to Bridge Mode to use your own router.

Speeds are consistently below 60% of your plan, even via LAN cable.

LIWEST Speed Test FAQs

Why is my LIWEST internet slow in the evening? Cable internet is a shared medium. In densely populated areas like Linz, bandwidth is shared with neighbors. If everyone streams at 8 PM, speeds can drop. LIWEST manages this well, but local node congestion can still occur.

Can I use my own router? Yes, usually by setting the LIWEST modem to "Bridge Mode" (passing the public IP to your device). You may need to call support to unlock this feature on some Arris modems.

What is the best way to contact Tech Support? For urgent outages, call 0732 94 21 11. For speed issues, send a protocol of 3 wired speed tests (Morning, Noon, Evening) via their contact form.
