Good morning,

I thank you for your proposal but your “Wireline CompetenceCenterFAS” team has already attempted to do this type of analysis and here is their response from January 2016:

---start—

Today we have received from the manufacturer a feedback. Unfortunately, they are unable to make a diagnosis, because the interruptions in the DHCP Sessions are too low. This Month the connection had only one interruption and in this case we can’t guarantee an uninterrupted service.

Currently, a permanent recording records each behavior on the Internet Box. If the DHCP interrupts continue to be so low, we will stop the analysis. Thank you for your understanding.

---end—

The fact is that this Thursday, May 5, the internet box restarted twice in 10 minutes and that over the past 10 days this has happened around 4 times.

So it’s strange because it seems that during Swisscom’s monitoring everything is perfect but once the monitoring is stopped, the customer encounters serious problems again.

Short of a miracle, I no longer expect much from Swiss regarding this technical problem.

Best regards

Nicolas Wipfli

Good morning,

I’m coming back to the news because I still have the same problems, namely the box which restarts about once a day, and what’s more, I had to deactivate the application module because otherwise the parental controls were activated for no reason and blocked all internet connections… My box is up to date with the firmware and I have already tried to change the cable, change the socket, the box has already been changed and a swisscom electrician has already come by to try to correct the problem . Is there any solution left or should I settle for a connection that works when it wants to?

Good evening Yotatan,
your request will be sent to the competent department who will contact you as quickly as possible. Have a nice evening.

Good morning,

I’ve been seeing the same kind of problems for months, including unwanted and unconfigured parental blocking after restarting 😞 I’m waiting for the Swisscom technician who is due to come this morning, for the second time in two weeks…

I still haven’t heard from a technician and the box is doing more and more reboots, we’re doing more than one per day… the situation is really starting to become painful!

@Nick1 Hello,

Reset your Box on the small hole in the box and not restart it using the remote control.

Good morning,

I am taking the liberty of writing because I encounter the same problem, that is to say restarts (sometimes freezes) of my Internet Box Plus. I switched to fiber around mid-April, and immediately experienced random reboots. At the beginning this happened to me about once a week, and lately since the new update almost every 24/48 hours. I tested the solutions proposed on this forum in vain, and I strongly suspect that the problem comes from an instability of the box.

I have the impression that we will have to wait for a new model of router in the hope of having a change.

Thanks for the info. Will try.

Hello FM33,

We will contact you personally as soon as possible for support.

Same at home… It’s been a month since I rebooted the box several times: 5-6 automatic ones and 2-3 that I did myself following a loss of Internet and TV.

I tried all the solutions I could find on this forum, resetting the box, checking the firmware, cables, dhcp but nothing worked. I wonder if this isn’t actually a hardware problem.

I point out that everything worked perfectly for several months with the new box and suddenly everything went into a tailspin without any modification on my part.

Do you have a solution? Should a replacement of the box be considered?

Either they tried the placebo effect, or their entire stock of boxes needs to be reviewed:smileyhappy:

For several days, my internet box has been resetting itself and it seems that the problem is widespread since at the office located in another district of Geneva we experience the same untimely outages several times a day.

This is neither a problem with the fiber optic cable nor with the configuration of the boxes, everything has been checked by an IT specialist.

I am waiting for a position from Swisscom and above all a solution because it is becoming very complicated to work in these conditions.

@nico66

Hotline: 0800 800 800

Hi.

We know the standard responses from the Hotline.

1: Disconnect the antivirus.

2: It is not Swisscom which has a problem but it is you who made a false manipulation.

3: we will send you a technician.

And 6 months later we still have the problems and we are still waiting for the technician.

Not quite but almost:

The hotline advised me to do a hard reset so that the updates take place (normally it’s automatic….).

Then if this continues, the Hotline explains to me that it may be a problem with the firmware of the box. And they tell me: if this is the case, too bad Sir, your box is no longer under warranty.

I adore!

What I put in I got several times, even when there were 600 Swisscom customers who no longer had anything functional. A telephone line had been flooded in Le Sentier and it took them 1 week to admit the problem and of course there was no apology and even less compensation.

On the other hand, they don’t forget us if we have a late bill.

I come back with good news.

While looking for a solution to the problem on the German part of the forum (thanks Google Translate), I came across a post which mentioned a problem with IPv6 which would be resolved for the future version 8 of the firmware.

It’s been a little over 11 days since I deactivated it and no restarts. I noticed on other forums that apparently several suffer from the same problem, I hope that they will read this post and resolve their outages/resets by deactivating IPv6 in the box options. In any case it seems that while waiting for a future firmware this is the solution.

ciao idoc

I saw in another identical subject that a guy had found the solution while waiting for the new firmware.

Try disabling IPv6 and it should work:

tell us again if it helps or not

Great, thanks for your help, I’ll try. Good afternoon
