Need a WiFi booster for your Ziggo router?
Ziggo customers receive a WiFi modem on loan from their provider. Because this modem must be placed near the cable TV connection, the WiFi signal doesn't always reach the entire house. A multi-room WiFi system can replace the router and ensure that you have coverage throughout the house with 1 WiFi network.
Which WiFi booster is suitable in my situation?
| Multi-room WiFi | Powerline adapter | Access point | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do you want to amplify the signal from your Ziggo modem at the touch of a button? | Yes | Yes | No |
| Don't want to run network cables in your house? | Yes | Yes | No |
| Do you want 1 full-coverage WiFi network in your entire house? | Yes | No | No |
| Do you want to use the full speed of your internet connection? | Yes | No | Yes |
| Do you want to expand the network for your Ziggo Mediabox? | Yes | Yes | No |
