Fiber activated, but no internet: Experia Box gets no connection

I am a KPN customer and I am moving from DSL to fiber. My DSL connection still works. The fiber does not work yet.

Timeline
- 5 November 2026: I received the Nokia fiber box (ONT) from KPN and connected it. The Connection light was steady, but there was no internet. I expected this, because the activation was planned for 6 November.
- 6 November 2026: I received the email that my fiber is activated. I followed the installation steps on the KPN website. The last step says: "Oeps, we zien dat je nog niet bent aangesloten. We gaan proberen je verder te helpen."

Current status of the fiber box
- Power: on
- Connection: steady
- Data: blinks now and then but mostly steady
- Alarm: off

After a restart, the Connection light first blinked very fast for a few minutes and then became steady again.

What I tried
- I connected the fiber box to the WAN port of my KPN Experia Box v10 and removed the DSL cable.
- The Experia Box detects the fiber box, but it gets no internet connection. In its status, it switches every 30 seconds between "PPP connecting" and "DHCP selecting", and it never gets an IP address.
- I restarted the fiber box and the Experia Box, more than once and at different times during the day. Nothing changed.
- I checked the cables. The fiber cable is clicked in.
- When I connect the DSL cable again, the Experia Box goes back to DSL and the internet works.

I could not reach customer service by phone, and the activation email is from a noreply address.

Question: can a moderator please check whether the internet service is set up on my fiber line and on this fiber box?

Thank you!

Ze zijn gewoon te bereiken hoor.

 

Heb je de ONT al eens van de stroom afgehaald voor een paar tellen?

Or call KPN's toll-free number 0800 0402.

I restarted the ONT several times, also with the power off for some seconds.
I also had a call with customer service (thanks to huistijger). We spent about 25 minutes on the problem and tried a second ethernet cable, but the call ended with no solution and no next step, and nobody called back afterward.
The modem also got a factory reset.
With the ONT (Nokia XGS-PON) connected to the modem, the modem's services light is orange and its internet light blinks.
My DSL still works for now, but I do not know for how long.
Can a moderator please check if internet service is set up on my line and my ONT, and give me a case number? If nobody can fix this, I think I have to return the fiber equipment and stay on DSL until the end of my contract.

If the connection led is lighting up constantly and the wish date has arived (should have an email with message you can start using your connection) then you can start using it. If it doesn't work you then can order an engineer to check to connection/install your connection on fiber. Also possible is to check with an customer support agent if it can be resolved without an engineer. If you already did this then I suggest ordering the “installatie garantie monteur” (engineer)
