Mi sono appena trasferito in una nuova casa e ho visto questo. Il dispositivo nella foto è del precedente inquilino (non so se se lo sono dimenticato). Ho bisogno di questo per ottenere una connessione Internet dal mio provider locale? O posso semplicemente collegare il cavo Ethernet dal mio router alla presa a sinistra?

>Do I need this to get a internet connection from my local city provider?
What local city provider? Do you have a contract with a provider?
I don’t think you know how this Internet works … /s
There is not “one local city provider”. This looks like you might be able to get cable internet, for which the splitter on the right is intended. Not sure if you also can get internet via the phone line, you need to ask the landlord about it. Or fiber.
Your landlord probably can help you more. They probably also know where those Ethernet ports on the left lead to.
You need a contract with a internet provider.
The device on the right is for the tv-cable internet. There may or may not be a DSL (the “usual” internet over telephone wires) option in your building. Only god knows what the socket on the left is connected to, it may or may not work for the DSL option. If it does not work it most probably can be fixed by a technician (provider would send one).
It seems to be a splitter from Vodaphone company. It splitts the signal in to three different signals
as shown and named on the “splitter”.
If you use cable, yes.
Whats connected to the other end of this cable?
It seems like your predecessor(s) had a contract with Vodafone cable for internet, this is where that comes from.
Just go to the Vodafone Germany website or any internet price comparison website you’d like (Verifox, check24, dsl-fuchs) are some reliable websites and look for internet via cable.
The other option is, if you have [this socket](https://images.app.goo.gl/6mRXkeNzJPKKbcqf7) anywhere around your house, go also to any internet price comparison website you’d like and look for internet via DSL.
And while you’re at it, go check and see if you can get a better electric and gas contract as you have from the Stadtwerke (at any internet price comparison website you’d like) they’re mostly not cheap at all.
As you said you go and check the stadtwerke Internet, yeah well you could do that but the discount you’re maybe getting is not cheaper than a contract via e.g. Verifox
I have the same but the ethernet ports do not provide me with DSL. Idk what its for. But I know that my flat receives internet via the “telephone cable”, thats why i got this splitter and there i could plug my router in
That depends. This one is from Vodafone using the old tv cables for internet. If you wanna use those and take this provider, yeah.
Normally you should also have dsl cable (old phone lines) that you can use. If you are really lucky you already got fiber and this would be another choice. Obviously it depends on what you wanna choose.
IMHO tv cable is often max ~ 250. DSL has a way more range. And can go from 10 to 250 mb. Wich is more stable depends on your house and a lot of this is opinion. I don’t really like the tv cable variant, as I find these ones were never made new and thus can be quite old. But if your previous tenant had it working, why not. it’s your choice.
If you are unsure what you can get visit sites of providers like 1und1, Telekom, Vodafone… and put your address. They can tell you if they have internet at your address and the max speed too. Some also offer fiber and/or dsl and can tell you if you have both.
Depends on the type of internet you get. I have one of those too because I get my internet over Cable. It’s used to split the Cable signal to Data (internet), TV, and Radio.
In any case, if you start a new contract, the ISP will provide the little splitter piece. If you’re moving a pre-existing contract and modem, ask your ISP.
All you need is an ISP and they will tell you what you need after you’ve signed your contract.
