When the booster is running I always have a public IP with 178.xyz.xyz.xyz
And now I have my old IP 85.3.xyz.xyz, which I always had without a booster.
Support couldn’t help me. I should do a reset and unplug everything. I’ve already done it several times.
I’ll restart the IB tomorrow. Now it’s bad because everyone is watching TV.
What’s still strange is that no 5G is displayed on the booster, since it is an independent device and as you say you would have good 5G reception at this location.
For me, the iPhone 12 Mini shows two tick marks and the 5G Booster shows three tick marks.

@wolewo I can’t help either, I can only forward it for analysis on Monday. But basically, depending on the location, it is still better today if you can use 4G bands together than one 5G band. That’s how it is for me, as soon as I’m connected to 5G (especially now despite the shit weather), I have around 20-30mbps less performance than with 4G. Otherwise I won’t see 5G in my area anyway.
I recommend one thing: DO NOT use the browser speed test. This does not give any reasonable values for bonding and depends on the current status of the PC/Mac (especially the current CPU load). Use the CNLab Speed Test as an app, then it will be meaningful. And download a large file from myCloud or somewhere else and check the router diagnostics to see if nothing is actually being transferred.
I have the same public IP range of 85… as you, with 4G and 5G. If you keep restarting the router, it may be that we put you in a different IP pool to be safer. I don’t know the rules, but they exist.

Hello Roger,
For me it seems to be different. If the booster has a 5G connection, then I get a 178.xyz.xyz.xyz IP address (public) checked at www.wieistmeineip.de.
If the booster doesn’t work, then I have an 85.xyz.xyz.xyz IP address. I already had this IP address before Internet Booster.
Before lunch I restarted everything and now it works again.
This raises the worrying question of whether you are (secretly) traveling with 2 IPs.
One IP via DSL line and the other via the mobile phone link…
In principle it works, it’s been going like this here for a long time, but I can control it directly who has what over whom…
How is this handled in the SwisscomBox and how can you possibly influence it?
In my case, I brought the Nokia modem to the post office earlier. If someone else should enjoy it, read along with interest.
Best regards
Sasha
You can’t influence this with the 5G booster, but what we’ve heard about the “alleyway” is that in the future if the normal internet line fails, it should continue to work via the booster, just like it did before with the USB mobile stick.
