Hello folks. You should send everything you write here about the IB3 to the email address you received when you confirmed it. This is the only way to solve problems that occur with the IB3.
But it’s interesting to read that some of you have IB3 running smoothly and others don’t. But that’s why we are the test users.
By the way, the design fits well next to a classic stereo system:
Unfortunately, what I haven’t found yet is the dark mode switch for the case…

All I can say is that I gave the box time to install. When I tested everything, the telephone directory was already there everywhere.
It has also adopted all device names. With WPS I wouldn’t have to reconnect anything. Everything was recognized immediately, including: the various devices via WiFi connection (WLAN box, 4x SCTV 2.0, Philips Hue and the Sonos system).
My IB3 was also delivered today and installed straight away. Everything worked without any problems. Contacts were imported automatically, but at least one contact that I had entered a week ago was missing. Ev. The synchronization failed earlier with the IB2 because the phone book synchronization was still switched off even after loading the IB2 config.
So far the IB3 makes a great impression, the internet connection parameters are practically the same as the IB2. The WiFi is 2-3dB better thanks to the band, without WiFi 6 devices.
I also received the IB3. Exchanged and waited a few minutes; almost everything works. I didn’t import the old configuration at all.
All I have to do is reactivate and set up VPN and assign the fixed IP address to my NAS again.
I don’t have a landline, so I have no experience.
All in all it worked out very well.
Hello
Thank you for all the tips regarding the Home App. Unfortunately no one helped.
I had to install the January version. I was then able to log in with this, then I updated to the latest version. Now it seems to be working.
Another question about the Tel book. Is this saved automatically or do you have to set it?
PS: At the moment I don’t have a chance to set up the box, so I have to rebuild the rack first.

Did anyone get an IB3 that only came with the fiber optic cable? Was the toilet cable also included?
Yes, my IB3 only came with a fiber optic cable and of course the SFP Fiber Module (Siligence) inserted. This is also clearly marked on the cardboard box as Internet-Box 3 FIBER.

hello everyone
my ib3 also runs very well. According to my first tests, the WiFi is a bit better than with the ib2.
How critical are you of the open error:
No Internet access if IPV6 firewall mode “Strict” is selected
would you recommend disabling ipv6?
Greetings René
When it comes to IPv6, experts’ opinions vary widely. The majority recommend it and Microsoft even writes that IPv6 is absolutely necessary for Win10 to function correctly.
Personally, I have a different opinion. As long as very few devices in my private household understand IPv6, I am dependent on IPv4 anyway. Since I don’t see any advantage in mixed IPv4/IPv6 operation yet and don’t have a use case for IPv6 itself, I deactivated IPv6 on the IB3 and the PCs. When it comes to such configurations, I always follow the motto: “Set up/activate as little as necessary and not as much as possible”.
The only reason I use IPv6 intermittently is for self-taught training.
First of all, have fun testing and just use it. A few more things “as a reminder”.
The software is basically the same as on the other IBs. However, there are clear differences in many areas, as the new hardware enables different functions. That was already the case between the IB2 and the IBP/IBS. The firmware on the IB3 is not yet the version we want to use at launch. There are still a few bugs that will be fixed in the next version. Even then, you won’t be at the same level of stability as IB2, and we expect even bigger leaps in functionality, especially in the WIFI environment (WIFI 6 doesn’t yet have all the functions it could have). So a lot will definitely happen in 2020.
So if there is an automatic reboot, don’t get upset, it’s still “normal”.
We’ll take another look at the topic of what we automatically take over when changing the box and what not, or what is in the separate config file in 2020. We definitely have to clean it up. We also have the topic of consequences of reset vs. box replacement on the list, although it turns out to be more complicated than expected. I can’t say yet and certainly can’t promise whether something will happen or not.
Something else will happen in the telephone book area. We have set up a CardDAV server in the background and both Internet-Boxen and Centro Business will use this in the future. The migrations (IB users shouldn’t actually notice anything) will follow in the next few months. But that gives us more options overall. We also had two different concepts today at the IBen and the Centro Business. That doesn’t make any sense either.
So then. We might have a little surprise. Maybe a second one for a few. I have to take a look. 😉
