Hello, I have booked a new contract with vDSL 100. I will get an EasyBox for my connection, but I use my own router in my home. I do not start service until August, so I have time to cancel if there is no good modem available.
It does not seem that bridge mode is possible from what I read online, which will create problems for my connection.
How can I use my own router on the Vodafone connection? Does the Fritzbox have a bridge mode?

For example the fritzbox 6490 cable offers bridge mode.

But the TE has a VDSL contract.
The 6490 Cable doesnt work with VDSL

Important to know. Thanks.
PS. Could you help the TE?

Thank you both for your quick replies.
From more research, I am seeing that I would need to purchase a standalone modem (Drytek Vigor 130).
I really hope that Vodafone has a device that works, since it is silly that I'd need to pay extra for a device with less features than a full router!
To specify, I need a WAN connection to a EdgeRouterX that I use for multiple VLANs in my home.

Hey Deutschmavic,
may i ask which router model you already have?
You can use your own IAD.
We offer 3 DSL-Routers.
The Easybox 804 ,Fritzbox 7430 , Fritzbox 7590.
These are consumer grade devices - for special needs / feature requests i suggest a professional network device.
Draytek is always a solid choice.
If you plan on using your own device, just order the easybox 804 (0Euro monthly) & keep the easybox as a backup solution (or if you need to open an incident ticket).
Best regards,
Andre

Thanks for your response.
I will be using an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter.
Does the EasyBox have a bridge mode so it will function stricly as a modem? My current contract (Red Internet & Phone 200 Cable) works great in bridge mode.
I will need a device to convert from DSL to ethernet, preferably supplied by Vodafone.

Hey Deutschmavic,
the easybox 804 does not support bridge mode.
It's designed as a "easy" all in one starting device, with limited configuration possibilities.
The fritz box routers also mainly designed to work as a router, not only as a modem.
If you are planing on buying a new own device anyway, i would suggest you :
Take the easybox 804 (as a 0 euro rental device) - so that you have a router in reserve (f.e. that you always have a supported device at hand, if you need to open a technical ticket).
And buy a vdsl modem of your choice, like the DrayTek Vigor 130 + a dedicated router.
99,99% of all customers should be happy with one of our "premium routers/"all in one solution"" like the Fritzbox 7590.
This should definitly be the cheaper solution.
Best regards,
Andre

Yep.
You could use the Fritzbox in Bridge Mode, but only as a Switch/Router - not as a modem.
So if you are planing on using your own device, take the 804 & put it somewhere in the attic.
(you have to choose a device, even if you don't use it).
Best regards,
Andre
