Yes, then I’m running out of ideas, it could still be that one of the modules is actually defective. Maybe someone else will tell you where these modules are in operation, you can hardly do anything wrong if you follow the instructions.

N.B. and the short LAN cable from the Internet box to the adapter is also OK?

Yes, I tested all cables separately with the laptop.

I’m not sure whether it necessarily has to be a 1Gbit LAN cable, i.e. with 8 wires and not just 4 wires, is that the case? When I tested it with the notebook, it didn’t show whether it had 4 or 8 wires, only if the network card was for 1 Gbit/s is suitable then the speed test should show this on the Internet box.

I think I’m going to have a technician come, I’ve already lost far too much time doing this, and every time I’m even more frustrated than before, simply because it doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to.

I can’t make sense of Walter’s fiber optic connection picture!

LAN1/2 and LAN7/8 connections on the patch panel do not match the connections on the multimedia sockets? Is this sketch from Swisscom correct….

The sketch is wrong. Of course it has to be 1 to 1.

@Studermarc009 will be able to test it in a few days. SFP Ethernet has been ordered.

Addendum 12/3/17 works. See article: [https://community.swisscom.ch/t5/Internet/Glas Fiber Connection-in-a-Wall Cabinet/td-p/452540/page/9](https://community.swisscom.ch/t5/Internet /Fiber optic connection in a closet/td-p/452540/page/9)

Do you have the switch on Auto or Force? If you change it, you will have to restart the converter.

@XT works for me in both positions on a Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-RM

@user109

Cool, then I’ll wait a bit before I ask a technician

@XT

I tried both modes and always restarted (box and converter)

And I ordered the components from Digitec.ch.

Solution 2 is the absolute most sensible one.

Ideally, it is best to separate routing and WiFi. Since the AIO Combos (All in One Routers) are very powerful, it makes sense to distribute the tasks.

If the apartment is larger than 120m2 or is spread over 2 floors, there is no way around it.

Therefore install an IB 1 in the closet. Be sure to check whether the distribution connections are set to 100Mb or 1000Mb. Otherwise everything is a waste anyway. In the worst case, the customer loses half of his ports in the closet (I recently converted this for a customer: 500Mb subscription but only 100Mb network at home in a 4-year-old apartment on the “Gold Coast”! Swisscom technicians and Dataquest supporters don’t have it on site noticed!!!).

If IB1 cannot be installed then the media converter is the only sensible solution. Extending glass is not exactly cheap and can only be done under difficult circumstances in a rented apartment.

Basically, it’s not a “stupid” idea to banish the router into the closet, but it should be implemented ergonomically and sensibly from the ground up.

As an electrical fitter, I’ve seen a lot of good things, but a lot of things are messed up in the interests of the company carrying out the work, which ultimately harms the customer.

How did you remodel that?

Thomas

He had run a cable to each socket. However, two R&M Freenet LAN ports per cable were connected in the closet and socket.

I have now reconnected the cable to just one LAN socket so it has GigaLan. Unfortunately “the electrical company” didn’t even use shielded cables, but they are fireproof:smileylol:

No other cable inserted? It couldn’t be more comfortable… 😉

If there were two people, I would have pulled in another cable. But what does the customer want with 8 ports in the cabinet when he can only connect 4 at most without another switch that wouldn’t find space anyway.

@Informatik Klinik

How do I check whether the distribution connections can handle 100Mb or 1000Mb?

@cypherpunks

There are various ways to determine this.

If you received Y cables for patching in the distribution cabinet (cable with 3 ends), then the cables were connected in split form.

or:

Connect the laptop to the end of a cable patched in the closet and look in the LAN settings at what speed the link is running. (if the laptop has a GBit LAN interface)

or the safest:

Unscrew the sockets and check whether 4 or 8 wires are connected to the PIN per RJ45 socket. GB Speed ​​requires 8 wires.

compa

I have such Y-patch cables installed in my distribution cabinet. (6 sockets)

For the multimedia connections in the rooms with 1x LAN and 1x telephony socket…

Here too I can’t get an internet connection to work with the new IB2 in the living room and the TP-Link media converter MC220L in the distribution cabinet (LWL optical) 😞

Could it be due to these 4-wire patch connections?
