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

The FRITZ!Box Cable is optimally prepared for use with a PŸUR cable connection (formerly primacom, Tele Columbus). Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the multimedia outlet and have PŸUR 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.

  1. Have your personal account information for PŸUR's activation portal and the password for telephony ready:

    2. You can find the password for telephony in your personal customer area of PŸUR under "Meine Daten > Telefoniezugangsdaten (SIP-Telefonie)".

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