I’ve been using Internet Box 4 for a while now, and it’s been a positive experience. The connection is rock solid and performance is good, both wired and wireless.
Here is brief list of features I’d like to see in the next Internet-Box iteration:
- WiFi 6E or 7, goes without saying
- add support for EasyMesh, allow using third party extenders/repeaters
- in addition to the 10Gbit port, add at least one 2.5Gbit port (even better, all remaining ports)
- make the unused SFP(+) port assignable to LAN
- make it bridgeable on the port of user’s choice
- make it wall mountable without additional accessories, in both directions (ports facing up or down)
- make it smaller, it barely fits in the distribution box
- if it has telephony functionality make it possible to use it with third party services

It would be cool if the Swisscom routers and extenders would support Matter out of the box and be the backbone of the future smart home.
The fixed telephony has been stagnant for a long time. Why not try to innovate with offering something similar to Google Voice that blurs the confines between mobile and fixed telephony. Swisscom is well positioned to do so.
Make is seamless, include fixed telephony as part of flat packages or internet. Allow mobile numbers to be used over SIP. Add full SIP support on Internet Box-es.

Please add Matter gateway functionality to future Swisscom wireless devices.
Thanks for this very interesting enhancement proposal, it is very likely that developers will take it into account for the features of the near future

thanks for all these innovation requests, I hear Elon Musk is already working on it

@Black Mamba thanks, but why did you move it here? It doesn’t really belong to this topic.

Thank you for all the contributions and proposals for improving Swisscom products
It would be better to group them in an existing topic without opening a new topic each time
It would be even better to open a single topic with for example the title:
“Suggestions for improvements of Swisscom products and functions”
And then post all the requests that correspond to the topic
Thank you very much for this way of working

I agree to a certain point, as suggestions are related to different areas. Some are related to Home Networking some to Telephony, etc.
It doesn’t make much sense to group everything under the announcement of a new product.
@“x”#1143665The point of this is that this is a “customers help customers” forum, where customers with everyday problems using Swisscom products are helped. It’s not really a channel for suggestions for improvements, but I also think that you can make suggestions for improvements to Swisscom products. In the English-speaking forum, however, the likelihood that the Swisscom employee responsible for the respective product is reading this is quite low. If you then have x different threads, it doesn’t get any better. A collective thread can certainly help here and allows the moderators to forward it more easily to the responsible staff. That is why I totally agree with @Black Mamba’s suggestion.

Well, some of these would be beneficial to all Swisscom customers. I’m not aware of any other channels where customers can suggest product enhancements or request features.
It’s a bit myopic to consider the community forum just the place where problems are discussed. Absence of some features is in a way a problem for some users. That why you have users running their own routers.
I hope that Swisscom product managers read the forums in all languages. That’s the only way to get the clear picture whether the customer needs are met with Swisscom offering.
It might make sense to have a dedicated section for suggestions or feature requests. If somebody can create one I’ll happily post there.
It’s more useful to have a thread per feature to encourage discussion instead of just throwing ideas one after another.

Does this device not support external storage? I see a USB port but no option for sharing the device? I used to have the Internet-Box plus.
No, it doesn’t. This feature has been removed.
this feature will be removed latest spring 2023 also from all other Internetbox models
….keep on rockin' 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

fully support the wishlist, especially:
WiFi 6E
especially given the availability now of Swisscom appareil WLAN tri-bande qui prend en charge le tout dernier standard Wi-Fi 6E

an inactive port really does not consume any additional power on such a switch, we are not talking about spf+ 10 GB ethernet ports here, these modules consume typically 0.5W even if unused, and the internet box also does not support POE.
The only time I typically would disable ports, is for security reasons: when you have for instance a remote wifi base station (linking up to corporate network over IPSEC, which includes also ethernet access ports. As you may not control where this devices ends up, you do not wish to have these ports active if they got stolen.
