Is it normal that the TV box cannot be connected to a Wi-Fi network that is not equipped with WPS? In the configuration of the TV Box there is no possibility of choosing a Wi-Fi and inserting the dedicated PW. Is this correct or am I just not finding where to do it.
@Rabbit74 No, this option is not available in the Home menu of the Box, you connect the Box to the router via Wifi by resetting the Box. At that point, as far as I can tell, it asks if you want to connect via WiFi if the Ethernet cable is not connected.

The model is the latest: the rounded one with voice assistant. If I’m not mistaken 2.1.
I know how to connect it to the network and that ideally it should be connected with the cable but my question was not this: I want to connect it to another Wi-Fi network (created with Mikrotik and Ubiquiti which do not have the WPS option. I would like to select a another Wi-Fi network and enter the PW manually as it works with any accessory that goes to the network
Is IGMP multicast proxy enabled on the router?
"To use Swisscom blue TV also with an external router, “Enable IGMP Multicast Proxy” must be activated. This also applies to all network switches from other manufacturers. Furthermore, if possible, it is recommended to also activate IGMP Snooping."

@bitracer The Swisscombox 21 can also be connected to the router via WLAN, at least with a Swisscom router, while with the external router it must be tested in the conditions described above.

@bitracer I use TvBox21 partly with wifi. And others do it too. It’s not recommended and it’s even unstable at times, but it works.

@bitracer I’m a test user, sometimes I have the box connected via wifi, sometimes via cable.

Then it is a specific feature that only works with the Swisscom router.
In all Swisscom commissioning examples, the SB21 is connected via cable to the router or again via cable to the Wlan box.
For the use that @Rabbit74 wants to make of it, we can conclude that the only option is the network cable.
Should simply set up the TV box with Ethernet on the external router and if it works, then disconnect the cable from the TV box, then the following screen appears (in German for me), where you can select Wlan, let’s see if it works, I have never tried this with an external router:

Support supports it…. The problem is that the monopoly is not over yet and we continue, for reasons related to security (and not marketing as in my opinion), to want to use only “certified” Swisscom devices. Which have absolutely nothing more (except configuration restrictions) compared to the other much more renowned ones 😀
