That sounds good…let’s hope so. I keep my fingers crossed for you…

In terms of speed, I can easily keep up with you 🙂

@ebu @wolewo

NTP was already an issue in December in connection with the booster. the solution to certain problems or am I wrong?

@hed @wolewo

Yes, I noticed the term ‘NTP’ in a side note from @Tux0ne at the beginning/mid of December and then, as I often do, I just gave it a try.

For me, activating and correctly setting NTP immediately solved the problem with reaching the email server. Together with deactivating the devices for the booster in the IB3 and deactivating/clearing the DNS cache, the booster integrated perfectly into my network. Since then (over 14 days) no more problems. The speed almost always close to 500/100 from original 100/30.

However, I don’t know - and won’t fiddle with it again - which of the 3 measures was decisive.

But @wolewo’s network topology is much more complex than mine and I hope he can solve the problems too. If it is actually “only” due to NTP, Swisscom would have to think about whether this function should be set up automatically when the booster is delivered/installed. If that’s even possible.

@ebu

I suspect that the wrong time also has an influence on some systems.

There is also some good information below.

I’m currently using the speed test at the link below, and it still shows relatively correct values.

But you still have to adapt the corresponding Swisscom subscription, see the picture below, for example. Subscription “L” with 5G booster.

You still have to adjust the speed under subscriptions that are no longer current because the 5G booster subscription is not included.

This means that the correct values ​​are displayed.

You can get the most extensive background information by testing the CNLAB app if you click on the user ID at the top right of the window after the test.

You can also get a lot of additional information from the official tester from the Swiss provider (Networktest) if you click on “Show measurement results” after the measurement.

@wolewo @ebu

Surprisingly, even though there is now snow everywhere on the trees and the reception quality has deteriorated significantly, I still almost always get the target value from the subscription “L” (500/80Mbit/s).

wolewo

Have your problems with the booster been solved? Does the thing now work as desired for you?

For my part, I can still report that everything is going well. The speed is also okay as far as I can measure.

@wolewo

Is that correct? You briefly disconnected the 5G booster from the power supply?

N.b. I can’t complain myself, it works without any ifs and buts, I just had to briefly disconnect the 5G booster from the power supply after a firmware update from the IB3.

My tip regarding NTP was more related to the problems with post 283 described by ebu.

Error with secured connection etc. Can occur, for example, if the time synchronization on the affected client is not correct.

If the NTP switch on the booster, which is deactivated by default, had an influence, it would be more of a coincidence or a conceptual problem with this booster story 🙂

NTP shouldn’t deactivate itself. Funny…..😅

@wolewo

If the default value is NTP=off, it is quite possible that NTP will be deactivated again after a restart. In this case the question arises as to why the default value is like this, because in my opinion it wouldn’t do any harm if it were ON.
