Hi! We just moved apartment and the Hausmeister said Vodafone connections go through this box here and that we should connect our modem here. However I don’t see anywhere to plug a connection into my modem.
Does anyone have a clue?

It’s there a phone line outlet in this box ? I don’t see any.
My slightly educated guess is that the top middle cable is the input to the splitter and the other cables are output – unscrew one of the output cables and then connect your modem – of course if you have cable outlets in other rooms in your apartment – you could connect your modem to one of them and not unscrew anything in this box.
Do you have a cable modem? If its for DSL it won’t work.
You can plug it into any of the cable outlets in your apartment, probably gonna be better wifi than if you stick your modem into this thing.
If you want to stick it in there, the one marked is probably where the connection comes in (Should also be visible on the small diagram on the device). You can probably take any of the 4 others.
Depending on your modem it is also possible you take the marked into your modem, then connect from the modem back to the splitter. Then you can plug a wifi modem in one of the outlets and connect your tv box directly as well.
That’s just a cable splitter, either for TV or for internet. I assume the 4 outputs go to 4 sockets in your apartment and you might be able to use cable internet by putting your modem in there and hooking it up to the splitter.
However, normally these boxes have more incoming wires or sockets in there. I’d at least have expected one for landlines phone/dsl internet.
This is for Vodafone yes. You need a port in your appartement then you can plug in your Cable modem with the Coaxial cable. You can also plugin your TV on that and watch cable TV with an DVB-C tuner.
If you don’t have one in your appartement contact Vodafone Support and explain. Mostly they help you with that.
You don’t have access to the Vodafone box. Vodafone will do that for you.
This is just a random splitter. Also nothing where you should do anything.
You will have cable outlets in your flat. That’s where you will plug in your modem.
Splitters can be bad for your signal. But if other people already have Vodafone cable in your house that’s probably already a solved problem. Point to point cabling is the preferred option.
Ask your neighbours if they are happy with Vodafone. In some houses it’s very bad. And Vodafone has a bad reputation (all telcos are assholes so might mean nothing)
I had the same problem. In the new building where I started living, there were not enough outlets for the internet in the walls and there was only such a distributor in the switchboard.
We didn’t have an outlet for cable internet in the wall, there was a hole in the wall with a wire sticking out. After the technician came with vodafone and in the wall where the cable was just sticking out, he installed a socket where the socket has several outlets, one of them for the internet.
If you looked on the website of vodafone how to connect your cable modem and there is a socket with 3 holes, then this is it and it should be installed by a technician.
