Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a Ziggo line

The FRITZ!Box Cable is optimally prepared for use with a Ziggo cable connection. Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the multimedia outlet, have Ziggo activate the FRITZ!Box, and configure telephony.

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.
