New Vodafone cable but no internet

[Trydentfl]

Hi,
First of all sorry for no writing in German.
I had the delivery of a simple Vodafone Station for the cable service. The area where I live is already covered. The guy who I spoke to at Mediamarkt told me that it would have been ready to go, plug in and surf the web.
As you can see, I am here...

Router connected, internal password to access 192.168.0.1 was changed but no internet access. I tried to connect to meine Vodafone using a smartphone and I activated my account.
No signal yet and internet is blinking red on the device.

Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Depending on the in-house installation, a technician can be required for the first time set up.

Vodafone doesn't know if the in-house installation (that is usually not part of the Vodafone network) is already up to date or not. If it's not, then the technician will do the necessary work in order to get your router online.

There are two ways to accomodate this:

a) wait for a moderator to ask you for your customer details and book the technician appointment

b) calling the (mostly only German speaking) hotline, tell them that the self-installation failed and you need a technician.

Second one is obviously faster, but you may ask someone with enough experience in German to help you (neighbour, collegue, friend...).

Thank you very much for your help, I will try this way.

Hello Trydentfl,

did you get help through the Hotline meanwhile? If not, please send me your date of birth along with your address, customer number and the MAC address of the modem. Write here again afterwards.

Kind regards,

Claudia

Hello,

It seems that I need assistance here for some equipment.
Anyway, I sent you all the details that your requested.

Hello Trydentfl,

Mac address looks a little weird. Can you please look it up again?

Best regards

Hi Moni_GK.
I found that Mac Address on 192.168.0.1 and I sent it privately.
I have another one written on the router and is F88B3761EBBF.
Otherwise, where am I supposed to read it?

Hello Trydentfl,

under the Fritz!Box is a sticker. There is a CM-MAC and a CWMP account. These two numbers please. What you see over the IP is the LAN or WLAN-MAC.

Best regards Fred

Hello, under the Fritzbox there is only one sticker and another one is in the Vodafone's box.
These are the numbers on in:

Thanks a lot for your help.
