Since I always like to test something, I installed the beta in the morning.

Just 5 minutes ago the IB restarted itself.

No idea why.

Okay, I understand that.

To find an alternative I would have to look into it myself again.

For a bridge with VDSL there are two options: Zyxel (VMG1312) or an FB.

There are many options for a bridge with fiber:

Media converter (the connected device must have DHCP option 60)

Mikrotik router

FB 5490

Lancom router

Ubiquiti Networks routers

Zyxel routers, etc.

Normally the Internet box should start after the firmware update. Which Internet box do you have, the Plus or the Standard?

The pluses.

After the update it started itself. So again after half an hour.

Otherwise everything is going wonderfully.

This shouldn’t be the case normally, but if it works now it’s ok.

Have you checked whether the firmware update of the two files was displayed correctly in the IB+ menu?

Yes, I’ve checked now and it’s OK.

Let’s see how she behaves today.

@Anonymous @wolewo just reported interruption errors via the form

After the update, half of the fixed IP assignments were lost and I have IP conflicts.

nice crap, now I can set everything again.

Assigning the different devices can take 8-10 minutes and then the red error messages should disappear. Have you copied back the previously saved configuration?

What I do myself is that I give the devices a fixed IP address outside the IP range of the Internet box.

As you can see below, I don’t have a small network.

1. But what you mean is to save the current settings of the Internet box on the PC.

2. Perform a reset.

3. install the latest firmware.

4. Use the backed up settings for recovery.

It partially worked for me, but I then had to reactivate the WLAN and re-register the HD phone.

But as * Guido * said, it is a beta firmware, so it is an advantage to print out the settings on paper so that you can enter them again by hand if there is a problem.

Hello @Anonymous and @MarcoG1983

I also installed the beta this morning. But I didn’t have any problems with IP assignments because I run the DHCP service on my Synology. If you have a Syno NAS, I can only advise you to run the DHCP service through it. The management and reliability are worlds better.

For some time now I have been running DHCP, DNS and VPN via the Syno. WLAN transmits via the Apple Airports and I have “outsourced” the switch functionality of the IB to a Cisco SG300.

The Internet box was downgraded to a pure modem.

Greetings & happy Easter

Edit: Swisscom’s dynamic DNS service now appears to be able to be activated in the network settings and in the application section. Actually nice, since I’ve wanted to turn off the application part for some time. Unfortunately, the DNS service is then also deactivated in the network settings. In my opinion it’s pointless. Either via the application part or the network settings…

A pure modem would be bridge mode and that is not available with the Internet Box, so it still has router functions.

:smileywink:

Thanks for your answers.

Yes, basically I mean it that way.

It’s clear to me about the “beta” because I work in software development myself. That’s okay too. BETA is BETA.

All I really cared about was, regardless of the BETA, how good the restoration of the existing configuration is after a factory reset with local backup (I’ve tested the Kundencenter backup, but it’s not satisfactory).

Reason of the question:
Since I always connect, record, etc. x different devices to my router for software development, I reset the box every now and then to keep it “clean” and reconfigure everything (I know that 99% will say this is not necessary).

If this works properly for my standard configuration (fixed installed devices) with the local backup, it would of course be an enormous time saving than having to reconfigure everything after a reset.

And sorry that I’m in the wrong topic, I just picked up on the backup here.

I always create a backup of the Internet box on an internal computer and didn’t have any major problems restoring it, especially if there was still a large telephone list.

In any case, the latest (beta) firmware makes a very good impression so far and if you make the effort to enter the set data by hand and then save it again, you have a very stable Internet box. As always, don’t forget to set the two frequencies 2.4GHZ and 5.0GHz individually to make the WLAN more stable.

restoring the config didn’t help either.

My devices already have a fixed IP but with the SONOS it’s not about the IB having to do that there.

Why do you need a fixed IP? Because my home automation addresses the SONOS via IP.

By the way, because of the large network. There are currently 44 devices on the LAN and that’s not quite all of them:smileyvery-happy:

---

Yes, it is clear that every user uses a different configuration and there are correspondingly different requirements. I don’t have a Sonos system myself, but I do have a NAS and alarm systems. With the Sonos, it is also known that conflicts arise again and again for some users. I have a Sonos installed with friends and we use the Airport Extreme as a WLAN access point, with the Internet box it wouldn’t be possible either way this is connected in the basement below.

N.B. I enter fixed IP addresses for the device where it is easy to enter them, the rest can also be done via the Internet box.

Hello Walter

Thank you very much for your answer (even on public holidays!)

I hope it’s the last time I bother you here today!

My approach for today would have been:

1. Backup data LOCALLY

2. Firmware update BETA

3. Factory reset

4. Restore the data that was created BEFORE the firmware update.

As I understand your answer, do you recommend recreating the configuration AFTER the update (BETA)? So don’t play the backup that I made before the firmware update?

Last:
I hope I haven’t overlooked anything, but from what I know, after a reset for the fixed IP assignment, I always have to first connect the device to the DHCP area and can only assign the IP fix after connecting for the first time. This means that I cannot assign the IP before connecting the device for the first time.

I see it that way, right?

Thanks again for the great support!

You have to do the reset before the latest firmware update, if you do it the other way around the old firmware will be reinstalled.

The advantage of re-entering everything by hand after installing the firmware is that you don’t have to reinstall old errors when restoring them if they were present.

If I give a device a fixed IP address, the device is normally connected to the Internet box and then I give this device the fixed IP address, of course it cannot be an IP address that has already been used somewhere.

At the end you can completely shut down the Internet box and restart it.
