Internet-Box - R15 Beta Firmware

Dear Community

I am pleased to announce that the beta version for Internet Box 3 and 4 is now available!

We are looking forward to your opinions and suggestions for improvements. Let’s explore this beta version together and find out how we can optimise it further.

You can find the installation instructions on the web portal: Firmware Swisscom devices | Swisscom

This is a beta version of the firmware. Please note that there are some potential risks associated with its use and that a downgrade is no longer possible.

We thank you in advance for your participation and look forward to your contributions to this thread AND under the following link in the error report form error link.

Best regards!

    Thank you

    The question remains: I could trigger this version “manually”. But I don’t really want to, as it is a beta version for the IB3.

    So I’ll probably wait (automatic triggering), is that better?

    Greetings

        mikofr The version shown here as beta has already been widely tested. Could even be the new final version. Don’t worry, experimental or immature versions don’t appear as beta.

        In my opinion, it’s more an opportunity to give those who don’t want to wait for the automatic rollout a chance to use the new FW already. But yes, unknown bugs can always crop up during a mass rollout. So join in and test.

            Thank you all

            Now I’m a bit confused:

            Is this beta version also installed automatically?

            I don’t really want to trigger it manually if the final version comes shortly afterwards.

            So it’s best if I do nothing and wait, as otherwise everything will run smoothly and I don’t want any more weekend internet problems.

                This beta version is already very stable. I assume that it is as good as final. There are no known serious problems. This version 15.00.46 has also been tested by some mentors here for over a month. If you still don’t want to, then forget the update. You don’t have to trigger it manually. Every router is updated automatically at some point during the night. As far as firmware is concerned, nobody really needs to worry.

                    Thanks for the feedback.

                    I’ll leave everything as it is and wait for the automatic update, especially as this version is “only” a beta version. In the past, I had only triggered the update manually once, but it was a final version at the time.

                    In fact, I don’t really want to have to worry about firmware updates on a regular basis. Otherwise, everything works perfectly for me as a “simple” user and the performance (LAN/WLAN) is excellent. The only thing I have deliberately set on the box is a separation of 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz and of course the WLAN passwords.

                      SWISSCOM STOPPP HALT Serious problems with Beta 15.00.46!!!!

                      Existing static IP configurations and forwarding configurations are thrown overboard!!! Plus after a while there is a freeze in the browser and you can no longer access the IP of the IB3 box but Internet is still available. A firmware update from Swisscom, with customer service on the phone, has not helped so far, I still have the 15.00.46 on it and still the same problems.

                      First launch a beta firmware and then eliminate the old firmware on the Swisscom site for security reasons, so that you can’t even help yourself to repair the infrastructure. Super GAU in the deployment and release process! The customer is not your guinea pig! Unfortunately, I had accidentally clicked on the firmware update because beta is only mentioned there in passing. Normally there are beta programmes where you can sign up if you want to and not just roll it out. I am not a beta customer!

                      What a mess, got the 2nd IB3 after having Firmware 15.* making tons of problems on the 1st IB3. I did go first with the Firmware 14.* on the 2nd IB3 which was already installed and all went well. Did leave it alone until I got my Fiber installed in the appartement. I was running Firmware 14.* for another week and thought I could give it a try on Firmware 15.* as it was a new IB3 Box and newly connected with Fiber. Ended up again with exactly all the previous crap behavior and not beeing able to manage the box anymore as it is not reachable anymore. Eventhough Internet (WAN) is still up and running!!! What is the solution here???? Changing Provider?

                        Dude33 Old/new IB3 doesn’t matter. The hardware is the same, so it makes no difference. Replacing routers is simply pointless in 99% of cases. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s copper or glass. Makes no difference either.

                        This problem seems to be caused by something in your home network. You can no longer access the start page of the router menu with any device? Are you using 192.168.1.1? That’s a strange problem, which I’ve only seen very rarely so far. It was usually enough to call up the page again in the browser.

                            Have you ever tried to access the Web GUI with a PC connected directly to the IB3 with a LAN cable?
                            If that doesn’t work either, what exactly is the error message?

                              5018 No, I’m using 192.168.180.1 the settings are all exactly the same as before… I have saved them in the Swisscom portal as a backup so that I can restore them as soon as the new firmware has an upgrade and I might run into a problem. That didn’t help either. I will probably have to call support again for a new box because the old firmware is still not available to install it again.
