How do I login to my Speedport router?

Open your browser and type http://speedport.ip or http://192.168.2.1. The default device password (Gerätepasswort) is printed on the type label on the back or bottom of the router.

What does the 'Link' or 'Online' light mean?

On Speedport Smart routers, a solid 'Online' LED means you are connected. If the 'Link' LED flashes, the router is synchronizing with the VDSL/Fiber line. If the 'Info' LED flashes red/yellow, there is an error.

Why is my VDSL 100 speed only 60 Mbps?

This can happen due to Powerline adapters or poor internal wiring (Endleitung). Also, ensure you are testing via LAN cable. Wi-Fi testing is unreliable for full VDSL vectoring speeds.

Can I use a FRITZ!Box instead of a Speedport?

Yes, Telekom lines (All-IP) work perfectly with AVM FRITZ!Box routers (e.g., 7590, 7530). You just need to select 'Telekom' as the internet provider during setup and enter your Zugangsdaten (EasyLogin).

Deutsche Telekom Speed Test

This page helps Deutsche Telekom customers verify their MagentaZuhause internet speeds. Whether you are connected via VDSL (Super Vectoring) or the new Glasfaser (Fiber) network, use this tool to confirm you are getting the bandwidth you are paying for.

Deutsche Telekom is Germany's largest ISP, providing services through its extensive copper and fiber network. The standard router provided is the Speedport Smart series (Smart 3, Smart 4), though many users opt for the AVM FRITZ!Box.

Interpreting Your Telekom Speed Results

Understanding your test results is key to troubleshooting:

Download Speed: For a MagentaZuhause L (100 Mbps) plan, you should typically see 95-108 Mbps due to sync provisioning margins. For MagentaZuhause XL (250 Mbps), expect ~230-260 Mbps.

Upload Speed: Essential for Home Office (Cloud uploads, Video calls). VDSL 100 plans offer up to 40 Mbps upload. Fiber plans (Glasfaser 1000) can offer up to 200 Mbps upload.

Ping (Latency): On VDSL with Vectoring, typical ping is 10-20ms. On Glasfaser, it can be as low as 3-5ms. Low ping is crucial for online gaming.

Note: Speeds may drop if you are using Powerline (dLAN) adapters. Always test via LAN cable directly to the Speedport.

Speedport Smart: Equipment & Performance

Router Details

Standard Models: Speedport Smart 4, Smart 3, and Speedport Pro Plus (for Hybrid LTE/DSL).

Interface: Access the router menu via http://speedport.ip.

Mesh Wi-Fi: Telekom's Speed Home WLAN discs work seamlessly with Speedport routers to extend 5GHz coverage.

Optimizing Your Connection

Split Frequencies: By default, Speedports combine 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Logging in to speedport.ip and giving the 5GHz network a separate name can ensure your high-speed devices don't get stuck on the slow 2.4GHz band.

Check DSL Link: Look at the "Link" or "Online" light. A flashing light indicates sync issues, which requires a technician.

FAQs

Why is my internet slow in the evening? While DSL is dedicated, the backbone can be congested. However, this is more common with Cable internet. If your Telekom line slows down heavily, check for background downloads or Windows updates.

Can I change my Speedport password? Yes, go to speedport.ip > Settings > System > Password. It is highly recommended to change the default sticker password.
