Planners like this should just be *washed*
There were definitely Anschluss the eight wires and that’s it.
Everything else is stupid these days.

Yes, or the installer who installs it that way.

I wouldn’t be so sure whether work is always carried out exactly according to the performance position. Because we like to gamble because the builder or planner doesn’t get it.

You often see these installations carried out by the big players. So the yellow-black, orange, yellow, white-orange etc 🙂

Tip. It has a creator’s sticker on each mailing list. Should be like that, it is also a regulation.

In the future you could also post this here as a pillory hehe.

As a former electrician and now a project manager with customer contact working in a planning office, I am also of the opinion that all 4 wire pairs should always be connected. Unfortunately, it’s a fact that money often plays a bigger role than benefits. When R&M launched “Homewiring”, it pushed forward the system with core splitting, but unfortunately many planners still stuck with this technology.

For my part, I always recommend that builders fully connect the RJ45 connections.

When it comes to placing Swisscombox or other ISP hardware in the so-called multimedia box, the manufacturers (Hager, Legrand, Schneider Electric etc.) just made a mistake. I tell every sales representative of their company to finally develop a door made of plastic or come up with something.

With LWL, the transfer point in the apartment is really not ideal if it is behind the TV cabinet. Or should we plan all UKV links there too @Anonymous?

Documents are updated, training with the VSEI starts. A router does not belong in a multimedia box. On the contrary, we must now correct this undesirable development.

And I can already say that the next router will no longer fit in such a box.

then when will the internet box be replaced?

So this is how Swisscom comes up with the task of cleaning up all these incorrect installations?

Nothing would be said if Swisscom itself didn’t issue these guidelines:

[https://www.swisscom.ch/content/dam/swisscom/de/res/landline/telephone connection/manual_ftth_realization_DE.pdf](https://www.swisscom.ch/content/dam/ swisscom/de/res/landline/telephone connection/manual_ftth_realization_DE.pdf) Section 4.2 and 4.3

I would be happy to receive a corrigendum to this guideline, which was recently published in 2015…

Fortunately, sometimes there are other providers who supply routers that still fit into this distribution list. They probably know the difference between a router and a hub 🙂

@rene.borer At some point a new router always comes along 🙂 The world keeps turning.

yeah, yeah - it wasn’t meant seriously as a question 🙂

The internet boxes aren’t that bad. I even bought one as a reserve. But USB2 and the very limited configuration options aren’t exactly great.

Let’s see what great things the future brings us…

I see it completely differently than you Guido, sorry but for me a router doesn’t necessarily belong in the living room! And I know exactly what you mean by “the next router won’t fit in the power distribution box.” I think that’s a bad development, sorry, I don’t want to have so many devices in the middle of the living room, the power distribution box is there for something - even if it unfortunately has a metal door. With the Internet box (Plus) you at least still had a choice in terms of dimensions. I do have star cabling from the power distribution box with 2xRJ45 to the rooms (which is absolutely not standard), but if you only have one, for example, then explain to me how I can get my network into the other rooms in addition to the stupid copper cable (telephony). - not at all. Really great. In addition, everyone would like to have the router next to the television so that it protrudes 30cm high.

For me, the router hangs vertically in the fuse box, I use the DECT function for my HD Montreux and it works well despite the metal door, I switched off WiFi because I have my own access point. That’s how I handled it with all of the routers I’ve used so far.

I don’t know, but ask people if they really like to set up their router in a visible area, I think very few people want that…

But. Apple is nice lol

Hello @Anonymous

I have a lot of friends who I look after IT matters for. 99% travel with SC. For the most part, the router is connected in the basement or in the cleaning room… And these buildings are all already built. Other manufacturers also offer good WiFi 😉

It would be nice if the customer could finally choose which router they want to connect.

Greetings, have a nice weekend

@Anonymous Yes, it still works for me at the moment, right. But that will change again with the next generation of routers… It’s logical that customers want the best possible WLAN and DECT, but no one will contradict that. But the question is how you achieve this - why do you need a “tower-like” design?

My WLAN AP is also flat, but it has ugly antennas sticking out. With the current InternetBox Plus things are different.

To be honest, I don’t know what to say, I don’t know and install the Internet box for 99% of customers so that it’s free somewhere on top (even if that of course means a bit less wireless connectivity). In my opinion, such a tower design definitely makes it harder to place.
