Depending on the selected tariff and connection method, you may need the following equipment:

Connect the modem or fiber terminal to the power supply and to the phone line (for DSL) or fiber optic cable. Connect the router (if using Wi-Fi) to the modem using an Ethernet cable. Turn on the equipment and wait for it to boot up.
