Yes, I saw that it was indeed necessary to tinker a little on the command line. I’m waiting to see. At Fiber7, they send this equipment directly in their offer, without further details. I imagine that there is therefore no special configuration to do with fiber7, it is pure ethernet.

If on the Swisscom side, there is a bit of network configuration to do, this implies that you need a router capable of being configured accordingly, which is not the case for ASUS/Netgear/tp link/Linksys devices and others.

We’ll see, at worst, I’ll bother them a little more so that they break the constraints of the fiber port of their hub to which I’m connected.

We will be fixed tomorrow or Sunday

For me, it was the DHCP 60 option that blocked me at swisscom, the Ethernet fiber conversion part is easy.

Good luck!

And finally? did you get there? with which router behind?

No, no exactly > Direction 7

Thank you very much for this extremely useful doc. my tranciver should have arrived this morning, I will test it.

Regarding the TV, from what I have read, this fiber-ethernet transciver is configurable, it is not just level 1 network. in fact, it is this transciever which, once configured, guarantees the good stability of the connection.

the TV is based on IPV6, so I imagine that a small gigabit switch between the transceiver and the router allows you to connect the Swisscom TV box directly without going through the router.

No, you need routing equipment.

I managed to get it to work with a Mikrotik router but I had problems with multicast TV streams (IGMP) and also with a Pfsense firewall.

Well, it’s actually not that simple. My dd wrt does not offer me the possibility of choosing vlan10. So, I have neither the desire nor the time to tinker and without swisscom support on top of that.

Tomorrow I will return all the equipment to swisscom for non-functional service.

I will take out a subscription to fiber7 straight away.

Voila, resilie subscription. This is stupid because Swisscom is by far the best. I know something about it from working on a daily basis with Colt, Orange, BT and them.

It would be so easy for them to offer an optional Cisco or Zyxel rerouter for the handful of geeks who want bridge… the same equipment they offer to SMEs

In short, I subscribed to fiber7. Availability announced for July 2016. Fortunately I have a backup 4G router. 🙂

Hello,

I’m also interested in 7 for the same reasons as you but also for the costs. I placed an order but was contacted by SIG who informed me that the optical socket currently used by my subscription is the only one compatible with their service.

My problem is that I also need the telephone and 7 does not offer telephony. I wanted to know if anyone has found a compromise to have 7 with the gigabit offer and a telephone service which allows you to call for free in Switzerland and at least in 1 EU country.

I also contacted Sys who say they will start deploying symmetrical gigabit. They offer telephony. On the other hand, in terms of price for their 100-10 Mb/s offer it is already high so I imagine that they will align with the others for gigabit…

Here are some Swiss voip tips netvoip.ch works very well.
OVH is a low cost based in France which also allows you to obtain a Swiss incoming number for 1 euro per month but their offer is not very interesting for outgoing calls. For the latter there are many offers you can look at on progx.ch to find the best offer depending on the destination.

Ok, thanks for the advice :smileywink:

Okay with that. I would also like to see passthrough appear in the options. I assume that I pay a subscription in order to have a connection, what I do inside my private network or the architecture that I use only concerns me and the double NAT of the DMZ is an aberration at the network level.

I would be interested in feedback on the card. However, not having fiber I could make do with a simple vdsl2 modem/router which would allow me to delegate the public IP, for example a netgear dm200 which costs almost nothing. The problem is the tv box… I don’t know how it behaves when it is not directly connected to the pathetic box provided by swisscom. It seems that a QOS is needed to guarantee a certain bandwidth and that there is multicast communication that must be able to pass, but will that be enough? mystery…

I’m hesitant to get one to replace the Swisscom router!

Dark! There are a lot of users waiting for someone smart enough to do it!

Interesting tutorial on the EdgeRouter.

However not so much valid for VDSL.
The big problem with VDSL remains the DHCP “client-identifier” option which allows pairing and activation of All-IP lines.

For VDSL there is still a problem that arises, it is the VDSL chips which will be “excluded” by Swisscom at the end of 2016.

For my part I had a Vivo line on a Cisco 1921 with integrated VDSL card (EHWIC-VA-DSL-A). Had no problem putting it all together and it worked.
I am now on a Business Internet service line (no need for TV) and Swisscom also “forces” their Business Internet Box 2, which I replaced with my Cisco 1921.
The only “problem” is that Cisco is expensive.

As I don’t have FTTH here, I can’t test other solutions. I ordered a USG-PRO-4 from ubiquiti (which is equipped with SFP) to test their products but I will not be able to test without FTTH.

VDSL bridges are available from Zyxel such as the VMG1312-bridge or the [P-870H-I](https:// www.zyxel.ch/fr/products/zyxel-p-870h-i-bridge/). However, you need a router behind it and that starts to add up to the bill.
