Welcome to TPG Community!

We are not that familiar with your Fritz!Box 7490 modem, but if you are able to receive sync from the TPG NBN network, then it might work, however the home phone will not work with a BYO modem

Below are the basic settings that need to be configured in your modem:

DSL Mode/Interface Type: VDSL/PTM

Protocol / Encapsulation / Connection Type: PPPoE
Username: <TPG username>
Password: <your TPG Password>

VLAN ID: 2 (This is very important)

I hope this helps you.

Regards,

Peter

Hey Ben.

Did this work for you? I have same modem, getting PPPoE errors. Could not find anywhere to set VLAN = 2.

Did you haveluck?

I am surprised there is only this limited posting regards Fritz!box 7490 (and 7590) connection settings for TPG FTTN.

I have a Fritz!box 7590 and had used it without an issue with iinet. I also have the 7590 manual and the only parameters stated below that I can see and change are the Username and password. PPoE is I think the default. There is no mention on the modem or the manual for VDSL (or PTSM), or mention of VLAN ID.

I found the non-TPG modem setup information and the only addition there are the DNS IP addresses, which I have set. My modem, says it is connected with 56mb/s down and 25 up but also says it is has no internet connection. Odd.

Does anyone have a 7490 or 7590 connected to TPG FTTN? I know from this 'community' that VOIP on the Fritz won't happen, but figure I'd still prefer to use my box rather than TPGs more basic unit. 

SL Mode/Interface Type: VDSL/PTM

Protocol / Encapsulation / Connection Type: PPPoE
Username: <TPG username>
Password: <your TPG Password>

VLAN ID: 2 (This is very important)

Hi @Tasilee

Welcome to the Community!
 

We were able to locate your account and tested the line, but was not able to detect that the modem/router is trying to communicate with the NBN server.

We understand that you've been using the device before, but did you reset it before you connect it with your TPG NBN service?

This configuration should be correct:

SL Mode/Interface Type: VDSL/PTM

Protocol / Encapsulation / Connection Type: PPPoE
Username: <TPG username>
Password: <your TPG Password>

VLAN ID: 2 (This is very important)

Also, the DNS address should be automatic.

If you are still experiencing issues, try to factory reset the modem/router then reconfigure it.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks @BasilDV. The modem was reset a number of times, but as my post suggested, no luck on a proper connection. This German made modem has been working fine for iinet and as I also stated, I can't see any VDSL, encapsulation or VLAN ID settings. The TPG modem is HOPEFULLY on its way.

One of th key settings in the Fritz!box is whether to use 'ANNEX A' or 'ANNEX B'. When I selected in the modem 'TPG' as the ISP, this was changed from Iinet's ANNEX B to ANNEX A. So I hope that is right. It have tried both, and neither setting changes the outcome.

Hi @Tasilee

When you were under iiNet, are you under the NBN service or ADSL service?

Have you contacted the support for FritzBox? 

Based on their website: 

'If your internet service provider requires you to use a VLAN ID, enable the option "Use VLAN for internet access" and enter the VLAN ID.'

This means that the option should be available somewhere in the settings of the device. If you still have the manual about it, you may check it there.

OK no one is putting it all in one place so here is what I did to make myfritz!box 7590 work for TPG nbn FTTC

First go to the three dot menu in the upper right corner of the fritz!box settup, and turn on advanced view it may appear that you are turning it off but never mind.

Then go to Internet->Account info, and set it as follows ignore the TPG item in the drop down it’s for DSL, you need to choose “other provider” (or whatever it was) under internet service provider, make up a name for your service provider I choose “TPG nbn FTTC” as that’s what mine really is, then do the
following:
Then choose “Connection to an external modem or router” under “Connect via”
and “Establish own connection to the internet” under “Operating Mode”
Then under “Account Information” answer “Is account information required?” tick yes and fill in your TPG details with your user name as:
username@tpg.com.au where username is your tpg username.
Then under “Connection Settings” put your speeds mine are 100 Mbps down and 30Mbps up as that’s what my plan says my max is in reality I never get
all of that.

then set ``VLAN-ID'' to 2 // this is vital
the PBIT can be left at 0

NB: you may have to choose more settings or some such several times to get all the options I did.
