You see, my assumption wasn’t so wrong after all.

Problems like this sometimes arise and no one can immediately understand why, but over time it will be solved.
That’s also a reason why I sometimes ask questions about why and why this is the case and some people aren’t so happy with it. 😉

Just a point, @WalterB. You won’t get any answers to your questions on the hotline, not because you don’t want to, but because you don’t know.
You know where you can ask most questions and in addition, @Roger G, the product manager “Copper” Access, is active here and has even gotten into the topic of bonding. Since he is always looking for errors to initiate improvements, he is the best choice for such questions. But you should also note that he already has the right not to answer questions if he doesn’t see a problem or or or.
Hello everyone
Here is an official answer to the “IPV6 problem”. In my capacity as SPOC support cell for Internet-Booster 5G-FMR I came across the same question:
Why is an IPV4 address (usually) shown in the connection Internet-Booster 5G and IB3 in the WebGui and sometimes an IPV6 address, even though IPV6 is switched off on the router?
The devices in the LAN always have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. I think if there are certain problems with DHCP between router and FMR, then the WebUI suddenly shows the IPV6 because there is nothing smarter to show. But this is always just a consequence of an error and less the cause
I hope I was able to shed some light on this. *smile*

Thanks Walter,
I like to take a look. 👍
The 5G booster should decide this itself in order to achieve the target value of the subscription.
I’m still working on achieving the target value of the subscription “L”, at the moment I’m achieving around 420Mbit/s. from the target value of 500Mbit/s, not that bad and in the last few days it has gotten better and better.

Such an automatic recognition of which frequency provides more power is probably not that easy to construct, since the weather can also influence it for a longer or short period of time and when it then switches back and forth between the frequencies, the question arises as to whether this is a good thing.
For me, 4G and 5G are usually almost the same, but I always have complete failure of 5G and then 4G is displayed at the blue dot, I can’t explain it myself.
N.b. I’ve never noticed a failure with 4G.

It looks like you would have to set up a 5G antenna every 200m, and I’m about 420m away from the transmission mast.
Unfortunately, I can’t say what Swisscom’s 5G booster looks like today compared to the text below from 2019.
Article from Vodafon in 2019.
In a test at 3.6 GHz, we were able to get a signal about 400-500 meters from the mast without any aids (additional antenna) and with line of sight. At 100 meters the data rate was still over 1 Gbit per second. From 300 meters the speed was still a good 800 MBit, but from 400 meters the router logged out of 5G and logged into 4G! This frequency would therefore be completely unsuitable for 5G expansion in rural areas.

It would therefore be interesting what the 5G booster does today, at least my distance of around 420m shows the behavior with the speed decrease compared to the target value of 500/80Mbit/s, although there are three lines with 95-97dBm.
Sorry, the report is from 2019.

I have now received and connected my second booster. I returned the first device because it wasn’t working properly (but it wasn’t the booster) and I didn’t have enough patience to get to the bottom of the problems. (shame on me)
The whole exercise with returning, re-ordering and installing took around 10 calls to support and a few days of patience. But now it’s running and the speed is still top.
On the recommendation of @Roger G, I reconsidered my WLAN installation and removed the two WLAN boxes.
What is really pleasing is the fact that the IB3 covers all 3 levels of the apartment with WiFi. And not just like that, but with really good results. I wouldn’t have thought that. My wife is happy about that too. Another two devices less “standing around” 🙂
The problems that I described here a few days ago in connection with the booster have not yet arisen. I’ll keep an eye on the whole installation for a few more days.
However, it currently looks like the WLAN network runs more stable (more error-free) without the WLBs.
One more question:
Are there any problems expected if I replace the DNS servers in IB3?
My NAS runs Adguard-Home, which, among other things, blocks advertising across the entire network.
My fear is that if the DNS address is changed, in combination with the booster, some problems will arise again.
