It would be interesting to know whether this still works, or was just a temporary “glitch” by Wingo that has perhaps now been reversed (e.g. through an over-the-air firmware update).

Can you check again to see if it still works?

I meant that the functions do not correspond to the original Swisscom IB2.

I would be surprised if, as some users wrote, you can actually get a public IPv4 address by activating either port forwarding or DMZ. I read somewhere that if you connect the Wingo Internet box and activate port forwarding or DMZ, you will receive a public IPv4 address within a maximum of 20 minutes. If you pull out the Wingo box and connect your own DSL router to the Anschluss (according to the list of compatible devices, which can also be found in the Wingo help area), e.g. a FritzBox, this router should also get a public IPv4 address.

I can’t quite believe this, it would be too good to be true! But if that’s the case, then that would of course be a great thing.

On the Wingo page I find the following under Help:

"Can I configure my Wingo Internet box?

You can easily configure your Wingo Internet box in your customer portal myWingo in the “My Internet connection” section.

You can make the following settings, among others:

• Customize your WiFi network name and password
• Automatic or manual frequency range selection
• WiFi channel change

Don’t forget to save your changes by clicking “Save”.

Advanced Features
Are you an experienced user and want to configure your device yourself? Then you can also set the following functions:

• Guest WiFi
• WiFi operating times
• Port forwarding
• DMZ function
• Static IP address
• IPv6

You can find some of the settings directly in the router web portal. To do this, log in to myWingo and select the menu item “My Internet connection”. Then press the “Go to web portal” button under “Advanced settings (expert mode)”.
Important: To access the web portal, you must be connected to your WiFi/LAN.

Unavailable features
Functions such as VPN, NAS or a cloud service are not currently offered and therefore cannot be configured."

In another help post, to the question: What is the local Wingo IP? The IP 192.168.0.254 is also explicitly referenced and you entered this in your browser and were apparently able to access your Wingo Box 2… What kind of password were you able to log in with? Have you entered the MyWingo password or is there even one on a label on the Wingo box?

Hello @MagicMax

to 1. Yes, this still works for me via http://192.168.0.254/#login

to 2. This is also correct: You can only set the WLAN SSID and password via MyWingo, but WLAN steering, transmission power, etc. are available.

You can also only save the configuration locally in a file - there is no “Kundencenter” like Swisscom.

But there are a lot of things you can do, at least much more than is otherwise possible via the MyWingo portal.

to 3. I’ve read that too, but have never tried it myself (I have extremely modest requirements and a fixed IPv4 is definitely not one of them!)

About the password: On the login page http://192.168.0.254/#login to the right of the login button there is the link “Set a new password”, which allows you to enter You can assign your own admin password (must be confirmed by pressing the [+] key on the Wingo box).

There are also customer processes that are “leaner” and easier to use with Wingo than with “blue”.

For example, public IPv4 is just a click away on the customer portal and can be activated directly by the customer:

Werner Wingo is terrible when it comes to their support.
I’m trying to set up a server to play Minecraft together, need port forwarding and have been trying for hours to figure out how to enable port forwarding on a Wingo Internet Box 2. Your solution is the best I’ve found so far but I can’t find these settings anywhere. https://www.wingo.ch/de/hilfe/faq/welche-art-von-ip-adresse-erhalte-ich-bei-wingo is wingo’s “solution” what to do?

Plimpopleu71 You can do the port forwarding directly on the Internet Box. Under the menu item “Network”. If you do not see port forwarding, you must activate expert mode.

Have you activated the public IPv4 address in your customer account? Otherwise you will never reach your server.

Sc00by

already clear but how do I activate this

Sc00by i just don’t check because in my personal customer account with mobile phone subscription etc there is no such option and i haven’t found a router related wingo account

Plimpopleu71
and i have not found a router related wingo account

But there must be one!

Plimpopleu71 you’re in the wrong account. There is one for the mobile phone subscription, then another for internet and landline. You can see the email address stored in your contract. If it is the same as for the mobile phone subscription, you can access the other account at the top right by clicking on “Change account” or you will be asked which account you want to access after logging in.

If you are logged into Wingo Mobile MyWingo, there is a profile button at the top right, where you can switch to the Internet account
