The new o2 DSL Service Suite is all about extending the home network. In addition to the existing features, it now
also offers complete integration of Powerline and added support for setting up and managing telephones. Since the o2
DSL Service Suite is based on the latest version of m2suite home, the customers of o2 automatically receive a boost in
performance too.
Fast surfing everywhere with Powerline
It is often difficult to have fast Wi-Fi in all rooms and corners at home. To ensure this, specific technologies are
necessary. However, these can be difficult for users to install and manage. The o2 DSL Service Suite offers the perfect
solution for this challenge – with the newly added integration of Powerline, it supplies users with fast Internet in
their entire home network.
It begins directly with the setup of the Powerline adapters and leads from managing them to analysing where a
stronger Wi-Fi connection is needed. All functions are united under the new “Powerline desktop” on which users can
easily orient themselves and start the desired function.
Users of the o2 DSL Service Suite are guided and supported every step along the way. For example, the o2 DSL Service
Suite leads them through the setup process of a Powerline network, which then can easily be done by the users
themselves, as the suite guides them with instructions and illustrations. This way, setting up and adding new Powerline
adapters happens quickly and without an increase in service calls.
As an especially innovative feature, users can open an interactive, graphical overview of the Powerline network via
“Manage Powerline network”. In this overview, they can see all connections between the devices as well as the speed
between two specific Powerline adapters. This makes it very easy to find spots in which the network connection is not
enough, and customers can then solve the problem by themselves without hassle.
In addition, users can individually manage already existing Powerline adapters. A simple click on the details of an
adapter allows, for example, renaming, resetting, or removing the adapter. Also, users can save the settings of an
adapter and later import them again.
Setting up telephones made easy
Managing DECT telephones can be done easily with the help of the o2 DSL Service Suite as well. Installing wired and
wireless phones was already a popular feature of the previous versions, which was reworked in the release of summer
2019. In it, the functions for call forwarding and calling line identification restriction (CLIR) were added for almost
all supported routers. Now, these features are also available for the o2 HomeBox 6641, meaning that with this release,
all supported routers offer the functionality. With supported routers by AVM FRITZ!Box, users now also gain access to
the answering machine function. With all these features, users can help themselves when setting up or managing
telephones by using the o2 DSL Service Suite.
