Before you get started
Have you received your activation e-mail?
Your activation e-mail confirms that your connection’s been activated and that you’re free to start setting up your Galaxus Internet router.
If you did not receive the email, please contact our customer service via our Help Center.
Found a suitable spot?
It’s a good idea to position your Galaxus Internet router somewhere central. That way, you’ll get the best possible reception regardless of which room you’re in. Avoid unsuitable spots such as the inside of cupboards or similar pieces of furniture.
Have you received all the parts you’ll need?
The included parts you’ll need to set up your router are shown here:
Note: A wall mount for the Zyxel PE5301 is available as an optional accessory. It is not included as standard. If you'd like to mount your router on the wall, we'll gladly send you one on request.
Get started
1. Remove the bottom cover
Turn your Galaxus Internet router upside down and carefully remove the bottom cover. This gives you access to the fibre-optic connector.
2. Connect it to the fibre-optic socket
Go to the fibre-optic socket (OTO socket) port specified in your activation e-mail and open the flap. After that, remove the protective caps from each end of the fibre cable and from the green PON port on the router. Connect the smaller end of the fibre cable to the OTO socket and the larger end to the green PON port on your Galaxus Internet router.
Note: When correctly aligned, the fibre cable can be inserted easily. Carefully guide the connector into the port without using force.
Route the cable through the designated cable channel underneath the retaining clips and reattach the bottom cover.
3. Switch on your Galaxus Internet router
Connect your Galaxus Internet router to the power supply and switch it on.
4. Scan the code and start surfing
Once all the displayed symbols light up, you can start surfing. This process usually takes five minutes, but can take up to 30 minutes in exceptional cases. You can easily connect all your mobile devices by scanning the QR code on the bottom cover of the router.
