# Telekom Speedport login, restart, firmware and port sharing

The Speedport is the router Deutsche Telekom supplies with MagentaZuhause lines. Most models are managed in a browser at `http://speedport.ip`; the Speedport 7 is managed only in the MeinMagenta app.

Speedport

Sign in

`speedport.ip` or `192.168.2.1`

App

MeinMagenta (iOS and Android) for the Speedport Smart 4, Pro Plus and Speedport 7

Password

The **Gerätepasswort** (device password) is on the type label under the Speedport and on the **Router-Pass** card kept in its stand. Telekom recommends changing it straight away.

Models

Speedport Smart 4, Speedport Smart 4 Plus, Speedport Smart 4R, Speedport Pro Plus, Speedport Smart 3, Speedport 7

**Checked 1 November 2026.** Speedport Smart 4 (Typ A) with firmware 010139.5.x (menus as of 2026), and the Smart 4 family with the same interface. The interface is in German; labels are given with an English gloss. Speedport 7: MeinMagenta app only.

## Sign in to the Speedport

1. Connect your Mac to the Speedport by Wi-Fi or cable.
2. Type `http://speedport.ip` into the address bar. If it doesn’t open, use `http://192.168.2.1`.
3. Enter the **Gerätepasswort** and click **Anmelden** (Sign in).
4. In the MeinMagenta app instead, tap **Internet**, the router picture, **WLAN, Router und Telefonie**, then **Router-Einstellungen**.

Each wrong password doubles the wait before you can try again, and only one person can be signed in at a time. Forgotten it? As a Telekom customer, set a new one in the EasySupport Geräte-Manager at `telekom.de/geraete-manager`. Otherwise reset the Speedport, which erases all settings. A Speedport LTE router uses `http://192.168.1.1`.

## Restart it properly

Your settings are kept. The restart takes about three minutes.

1. Sign in and click **System**.
2. Click **Neustart** (Restart) in the left column.
3. Click the **Neustart** button and wait.

Don’t confuse it with the **Reset** hole: holding a pin in it for 5 seconds restores factory settings and erases your setup.

### With the button

1. Press the **Neustart** (Restart) button on the back for at least one second.
2. Wait until the Speedport has started again.

### Schedule a restart

Telekom’s manual documents no scheduled restart.

**Kilobat can help.** Kilobat Pro’s [router check-up](https://kilobat.app/docs/home-network#router-checkup) learns how fast this router usually answers, says when a restart is due, and checks the next day whether it helped.

## Update the firmware

1. Sign in and click **System**, then **Firmware-Updates**.
2. Click **Auf Update prüfen** (Check for update). It also checks connected Mesh repeaters.
3. Click **Installieren** (Install). The Speedport restarts automatically afterwards.

With EasySupport on (**System › EasySupport**, the default), the Speedport updates itself automatically over the internet. Don’t unplug it while an update runs. **System › System-Informationen** shows the installed version.

## See connected devices

1. Sign in and click **Netzwerk** (Network).
2. Click **Verbundene Geräte** (Connected devices) and choose a list or diagram view.
3. Click **Liste aktualisieren** (Refresh list) to update it.
4. Click a device for details, or **Zum Gerät** to open its own interface.

The list leaves out devices on the guest Wi-Fi and active VPN clients.

**Kilobat can help.** Kilobat’s [new-device alerts](https://kilobat.app/docs/home-network#new-devices) tell you when a device you haven’t seen joins your home Wi-Fi. **Tools › Devices** lists what answers on the network, and you can name each one.

## UPnP and port forwarding

Telekom’s manual for the Speedport Smart 4 documents no UPnP IGD or NAT-PMP setting for automatic port sharing. Its UPnP mention covers media sharing (UPnP AV) only. Open ports by hand instead.

### Open a port by hand

1. Sign in and click **Internet**, then **Portfreischaltung** (Port sharing).
2. Enter a name and pick the device the rule is for.
3. Choose a template, or enter the public and internal ports.
4. Click **Speichern** (Save). You can add up to 32 rules.

Telekom points out that traffic through opened ports is not checked by the Speedport firewall. Keep a firewall on the device.

**Kilobat can help.** Without UPnP traffic counters, Kilobat’s [call reports](https://kilobat.app/video-calls) still name a busy app on your Mac or a Wi-Fi problem, but can’t point at another device at home.

## Prioritise calls and gaming

The Speedport prioritises telephony by default.

1. Sign in and click **Netzwerk**, then **Priorisierung** (Prioritisation).
2. Select up to two devices whose internet traffic should go first.
3. Click **Speichern** (Save).

### Prioritised Wi-Fi

A separate network whose devices get up to half the Wi-Fi bandwidth and half the upload to themselves.

1. In **Netzwerk**, click **Priorisiertes WLAN** (Prioritised Wi-Fi).
2. Tick **Priorisiertes WLAN verwenden**, then set a name and a Wi-Fi key.
3. Click **Speichern** and connect your work devices to it.

**Kilobat can help.** Run Kilobat’s [stutter test](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/test-call-stutter) before and after you change priorities, to see whether calls really got smoother.

## 2.4 and 5 GHz, and the channel

1. Sign in and click **Netzwerk**, then **Name und Verschlüsselung** (Name and encryption).
2. Enter a different **WLAN-Name (SSID)** for 2.4 GHz and for 5 GHz.
3. Click **Speichern** (Save) and reconnect your devices.

### Change the channel

1. In **Netzwerk**, click **Umgebungsscan** (Area scan) to see neighbouring networks and their channels.
2. Click **Sendeeinstellungen** (Transmit settings).
3. Pick a channel for each band, or **Automatisch**, which Telekom recommends.
4. Click **Speichern** (Save).

Telekom suggests leaving about four unused channels between yours and busy neighbours. Some devices can’t use channels 12 and 13.

**Kilobat can help.** Kilobat shows which band and channel your Mac is on, and `kilobat channels` suggests the least crowded channel. More in [crowded Wi-Fi channels](https://kilobat.app/guides/wifi-channel-congestion) and [Wi-Fi on a Mac](https://kilobat.app/wifi-analyzer-mac).

## Mesh: which node a device uses

The Speedport Smart 3, Smart 4, 4R, 4R2, 4 Plus and Speedport 7 support Mesh with up to five repeaters, such as Speed Home WiFi or a MagentaTV Box.

1. Sign in and click **Netzwerk › Verbundene Geräte**.
2. Click **Schematische Ansicht** (Diagram view) to see each repeater’s signal and speed.
3. Click a repeater for its IP address, firmware and connected devices.
4. Update repeaters under **System › Mesh** with **Auf Update prüfen**.

**Kilobat can help.** When your Mac moves to another node or band, Kilobat’s Health says so, so a weaker node isn’t taken for a router problem. See [find a better Wi-Fi spot](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/find-better-wifi-spot).

## Guest network

1. Sign in and click **Netzwerk**, then **WLAN-Gastzugang** (Guest Wi-Fi).
2. Tick **WLAN-Gastzugang verwenden** and choose how long it stays on.
3. Set the name, encryption and a key of 8 to 63 characters.
4. Tick **Gäste haben nur Zugang zum Internet** (Guests can only reach the internet).
5. Click **Speichern**. **Zugangsdatenpass drucken** prints a card with a QR code.

**Kilobat can help.** Kilobat can show a network as a QR code, so guests join with their phone’s camera: [share Wi-Fi with a QR code](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/share-wifi-qr-code).

## DNS settings

Telekom advises its own customers to keep its DNS servers; you can still set others.

1. Sign in and click **Internet**.
2. Find the DNS options and tick **Bevorzugte DNSv4-Server verwenden** and **Bevorzugte DNSv6-Server verwenden**.
3. Enter the servers and click **Speichern** (Save).

Telekom’s manual doesn’t name the left-column entry for the DNS options. Leave both unticked to get DNS servers automatically.

**Kilobat can help.** Before you change DNS, [compare resolvers with Kilobat](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/pick-faster-dns) to see which answers fastest from your home.

## Connection status and logs

1. Sign in and click **Übersicht › Status** (Overview › Status) for the main status information.
2. Click **Internet › IP-Adressinformationen** for your public IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
3. Click **System › System-Meldungen** (System messages) for the event log.
4. Tick **Ausführliche System-Meldungen erfassen** for more detail, and **Liste exportieren** to save it.

The MeinMagenta app also guides you through troubleshooting.

**Kilobat can help.** When the line keeps dropping, Kilobat’s [provider report](https://kilobat.app/docs/health#report) lists outages, latency and speed tests against your plan, ready to send to your provider.

## Questions

**Why can’t I open my Speedport 7 in a browser?**

The Speedport 7 has no browser interface. Telekom manages it only through the MeinMagenta app.

**Can I restore my settings after a reset?**

With EasySupport on, the Speedport backs up its Wi-Fi settings to a Telekom server. To keep everything, click **System › Einstellungen sichern** and **Sichern** (Save backup) before you reset.
