Model: Deco X55  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.5.0

I am in the UK and we have FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) with Zen Internet. 
We also have digital voice - i.e. a landline.

I recently replaced my ISP-provided Fritzbox with a Deco X55 (hardware version unknown but was purchased January 2026 from Amazon.

 

The Fritzbox had a dedicated port for connection of the landline phone but the Deco does not. 

I've tried connecting the RJ-11 port on the phone to an Ethernet port but am not getting a connection. 

Is there any guidance anyone could provide on this please?

  @LegoMan Switch off DHCP server and Wi‑Fi on the FritzBox and plug the phone in, connect it to the Deco, and it will run as an Access Point with your phone line still active.
