I bought an internet box 4 which I returned after a week. The functions are identical to those of the internet box 3, apart from the USB port key, into which you can no longer connect an external drive, the USB port on the internet box 4 is only used to plug in a USB key for Internet reception in the event of a problem with the optical fiber. A function, in my opinion important, has been deleted, regrettable and incomprehensible
Hello @Pierrot48,
You were also a new customer one day… so you also benefited from gifts.
By the way, what is your question?
Good afternoon.

@Pierrot48 Hello
Unfortunately the USB connection to connect an external hard drive to the IB+, IB2 & IB3 will disappear at the end of March 2023.
That’s why you didn’t find it in Internet Box 4.

Hello Doremi,
Do I understand that from March 2023 the USB port of IB 3 will be disabled, i.e. the main memory option, see below, will no longer be available:
Central memory allows you to save documents, photos and videos centrally and access them from all devices on your network. To do this, connect a USB hard drive to your Internet-Box. To access your data, type \INTERNETBOX-NAS.home in your Windows Explorer or, if you are using a Mac, choose the “Shared” menu in Finder.Thank you for clarifying. Kind regards
@Pierrot48 Hello
Yes, the disappearance of connected services as well as the disappearance of central memory is explained on the following link;

Hello @Keitzuppald24,
(Although I haven’t experienced all of Swisscom’s routers)….
I completely share your opinion!

Good morning
Since I have the latest Swisscom box 4 router it works very very well even better than the old router I no longer have any problems.
plus the wifi goes very quickly to surf internet port the same thing, I very often update the router never any problems for the moment, I have internet connections at home which works very well.
I’m waiting for the new 5 generation box router from Swisscom to test, I don’t know when it will be released, thanks to Swisscom for the improvements which are doing the job well.

Good morning,
yes indeed the box4 is really made for fiber connections.
everything is faster and smoother, plus you can have high internet speed depending on the type of subscription.
Regarding the price of this box, it is worth negotiating the price with Swisscom in order to lower the price, or even a free exchange.
best regards.😊
Hello @owegen, thank you for your message.
By connecting to your customer area My Swisscom, you can order your new IB4 router.
To do this, select your “blue Internet M” plan, then on your right click on “Replace router”.
You will find that you can buy it at a preferential price.
Have a good start to the week,
