Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with a Telekom cable connection

The FRITZ!Box Cable is optimally prepared for use with a cable connection from Telekom (for example "Zuhause Kabel Surfen und Telefonieren"). Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the multimedia outlet and have Telekom activate it.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, telephony, and multimedia is then available to all of the devices in your home network without restriction.

    2. You can call 0800 3301201 to request your login information for telephony. New customers receive this data automatically.

      Note:If you did not receive your account information, contact Telekom.
