Telecom routers: The best for an IP-based connection

Telecom provides its customers with a large number of routers to buy or rent. If you have an IP-based connection, however, it is important to find out whether the device supports the technology before purchasing the router.

Telekom-Router: Was ist ein IP-basierter Anschluss?

During the last few years, Telekom has started to convert its connections to IP technology, short for Internet Protocol. If you have an IP connection, this means that you no longer make your calls via the fixed network, but via the Internet.

These Telekom routers are suitable for IP connections

As a Telekom customer, you have a choice of various router models that you can use on an IP connection. In Telekom's online store, you can currently choose between the Speedport Smart 3, the Speedport Pro and the Speedport W925V. If you still have an older router from Telekom, you can often continue to use it even after switching to the IP-based connection. These older Speedport models support IP technology:

1. If you have a Speedport Entry or Speedport Entry 2, you can continue to use it, as both router models support IP-based telephony.
2. The Speedport Hybrid, which allows you to surf the Internet via DSL and the mobile standard LTE, can also be used on an IP connection.
3. The same applies to the 1st generation Speedport Smart and the Speedport Smart 2. These are the predecessors of the current Speedport Smart 3, which are optimized for use with the Magenta SmartHome tariff.
4. Also compatible with IP connections are the WLAN routers Speedport W 723V and W 724V, as well as Speedport W 921V and W 922V.
