Please consider adding the option to disable unused Ethernet ports.
For example, at the moment I’m not using the 10G port. It would be good to be able to disable the port. This would reduce also the power consumption.

Please consider adding the ability to register the Internet Box with third party VoIP providers.
Would be great to have some Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on the Swisscom devices. Connecting WLAN-Box and not having to power it separately would be very convenient.
Maybe something to consider for IB5 and WB3.
Since XGS-PON (10Gbit/s - blue Internet L) is more energy efficient on Internet Box 4, why not offer it at the same price as 1Gbit/s (blue Internet M)?
There are already examples in the marketplace where the maximum available speed is offered at the same price.
In a home setting, hardly anybody can leverage 10Gbit/s to it’s full capacity yet.
Swisscom already sells TP-Link switches preconfigured for its services.
How about offering pre-configured prosumer routers at a slight premium? For example Mikrotik or Ubiquity.
Add the ability to Identify using which WiFi technology (g, n, ac, ax/WiFi 4, 5, 6) are clients connected in the topology map in the IB UI. Maybe only in “expert mode”. It would be useful for troubleshooting and identifying devices.
Add the ability to control access to WiFi based on on the signal strength to the IB/WB system. That would allow for better control and handover of devices between the InternetBox and the WLANBoxes.
For example the default could be auto, but also add the slider that goes from 0dB to -120dB and allow the user the select the minimum signal level (let’s say -80dB) to connect. This would improve roaming between access points. Devices dropping below the set value would be kicked out and forced to reconnect to an access point (IB or WB) with stronger signal.
Thank you for all the contributions and proposals for improving Swisscom products
it would be better to group them in an existing topic without opening a new topic each time

I cannot see separate connections for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. My old iPad only supports 2.4.
need urgent help
Theilammie20 Take a look here:
my old Ipad has the same problem, but I left it in the combined view (2.4 GHz/5 GHz and it works). Don’t forget to activate the expert mode. You can also use: http://192.168.1.1
Here also a small snip:
now I set the view on “individual” and it also works.
Agus fágaimíd siúd mar atá sé
That shouldn’t be necessary. Just “forget” the existing network(click on “i” icon behind the network name and choose “forget network”) and then reconnect to WiFi again.
Hello @Theilammie20
Did the tips from the other users help you? Let us know and don’t hesitate to give them a like and accept a comment as a solution.
I wish you a great Tuesday!
I’ve been using Internet Box 4 for a while now, and it’s been a positive experience. The connection is rock solid and performance is good, both wired and wireless.
Here is brief list of features I’d like to see in the next Internet-Box iteration:
It would be cool if the Swisscom routers and extenders would support Matter out of the box and be the backbone of the future smart home.
The fixed telephony has been stagnant for a long time. Why not try to innovate with offering something similar to Google Voice that blurs the confines between mobile and fixed telephony. Swisscom is well positioned to do so.
Make is seamless, include fixed telephony as part of flat packages or internet. Allow mobile numbers to be used over SIP. Add full SIP support on Internet Box-es.

Thanks for this very interesting enhancement proposal, it is very likely that developers will take it into account for the features of the near future

thanks for all these innovation requests, I hear Elon Musk is already working on it

@Black Mamba thanks, but why did you move it here? It doesn’t really belong to this topic.

It would be better to group them in an existing topic without opening a new topic each time
It would be even better to open a single topic with for example the title:
“Suggestions for improvements of Swisscom products and functions”
And then post all the requests that correspond to the topic
Thank you very much for this way of working

I agree to a certain point, as suggestions are related to different areas. Some are related to Home Networking some to Telephony, etc.
It doesn’t make much sense to group everything under the announcement of a new product.
