What can I do when my router is broken?
If you aren't able to make an internet connection and suspect a faulty router, try troubleshooting the following steps.
- Briefly disconnect the power supply of your router. Much like a computer, restarting a router will often resolve the crashing issues that can be experienced from time to time
- If you use Wi-Fi, try connecting to the router using an ethernet cable. Wi-Fi signals can sometimes be disrupted by things such as new Wi-Fi signals in your neighbourhood or by accidentally deactivating buttons on the router itself. By using the cable, you can bypass some of these issues.
- Check the power and phone line cables of your router. General wear and tear, unplugged or even damaged cables can cripple your internet connection. If possible, replace any cables that may need replacing.
- Check the connection using another router. If the connection returns with a different router, it could be that your router is wrongly configured or damaged.
- Check the configuration of your router. You will find helpful guides on how to configure your router in our help centre.

- Reset to factory settings. By performing a factory reset, the router will return to its 'out of box' state and can often resolve connection issues. You will find helpful guides on how to reset a Fritz!box again in our help centre.
