Hello again everyone

Just out of interest. Does anyone know when it will definitely work with g.Fast or when?

the new booster platform starts?

According to Swisscom there should have been more speed for a year…

@“x”#223975Perhaps you can help me or give me information?


Unfortunately I can’t. Unfortunately, there are technical delays because not only do you have to integrate the new backend, but you also have to change the router firmware. It looked easier than it really is (which is actually normal). I expect the rollout in Q1/24.

Okay, thanks anyway.

Then I will no longer connect the booster until the new platform is available.

And thanks to Swisscom for a recommendation that was actually unnecessary.

Then let’s see what happens next.

Thank you for your support 👍 and see you next time 😊.

Hello everyone

What does this topic currently look like in January 2024? At my home, around 400 Mbit/s down and 90 Mbit/s up should be available via g.fast. In reality it is around 10 Mbit/s down and 2 Mbit/s up. I would therefore like to ask whether it will be possible to combine an Internet Booster with g.fast in 2024?

Thanks for your answers!

    It should happen sometime in 2024…

    The year has only just begun and will last 51 more weeks…

    Although I’m assuming “sooner” rather than “later” until that happens. Although “earlier” could only be in Q2….

    Are the 400/90Mbit/s the information from Swisscom Checker? Because if this is the case, you will have very big problems with your installation, because it is certainly not G.Fast. Your speed test is incredibly slow and the latency is way too high.

    Can you upload a screenshot of the InternetBox statistics?

    You have to access the IB via the browser http://192.168.1.1 and then click on the first green dot. It should then look something like this:

      Hi @Wiflieya80

      There’s something not right about your management

      @Wiflieya80 @TomatoTec I suggest we discuss again in [Unknown Anschluss (DSL)](https://community.swisscom.ch/t5/Festnetz/Unknown-Anschluss- DSL/m-p/801772#U801772) further - can me It’s easy to imagine that something went wrong/was broken from the start.

      Wiflieya80 I don’t know what kind of screenshot this is at which address, because the Anschluss that is registered to you has a measured speed of 584/134!! And that without a booster (which is not available there).

      But you have connected all devices and also the WLAN-Box wirelessly to the IB3 (i.e. as a repeater not as an access point). This is anything but optimal.

      The screenshot from the router doesn’t seem to come from this Anschluss, does it?

      Hello @Roger G, thank you very much for your answer, but this is a photo of my Anschluss. It turned out that the UP is defective and needs to be replaced. The order is already out. Unfortunately I can’t connect the WLAN Box 2 as an AP because I don’t have any LAN sockets, so I can only use it as an amplifier.

      • Roger G has responded to this post.

        It is no problem at all to use a WB2/3 as a repeater. That’s what it was designed for. With Wifi 6 and 4*4 Wifi, data rates of over 200 Mbit/s can still easily be achieved.

        You just have to place the WB2/3 correctly. Always halfway between the router and the place where the end device needs WiFi.

        When I look into the router I see:

        RogerG_0-1704711582375.png

        This does not match your data. A current speed measurement and in-house analysis also shows that the UP and the line are completely fine. And how can a UP be defective? These are simple screw terminals that can eventually corrode, but then we would see this in the form of malfunctions. I don’t see anything here, everything is absolutely fine. Only yesterday and on December 20th, 2023 someone simply unplugged the cable or did something else and thus provoked an interruption. As a result, the router was offline for a while yesterday. So nothing that indicates a UP defect. But if it helps, then that’s ok (even though I don’t see a ticket either… that’s strange)

        Hello Roger, thank you for your message. What makes you think I provoked an interruption? I wasn’t at home at all on December 20th, 2023. It’s funny. If you would like the ticket number from the construction service, please feel free to get in touch.

        I wish you a nice day.

        @Stifu_77 RogerG works at Swisscom and has confirmed that it works for at least some customers and there is no reason why it shouldn’t work

        I think the difficulty is that the booster simply can’t do much at higher speeds (well over 100 Mbit/s, like all gFast lines).

        No, it is currently only activated for a few customers. It may never happen, as FTTS/B locations will be migrated to FTTH in the foreseeable future.

        Hello

        In my opinion he has to go. I recently had several phone calls to the hotline and technology because of a problem with the TV-Box 5 (constant picture dropouts on Replay and BlueSport). 4 different people have told me that the booster and g.Fast work.

        I think Swisscom is just looking for an excuse because they don’t want to continue supporting the booster platform. According to the hotline, we already have enough problems with Box 5 😂.

        I have now put the Box 21 back into operation and no problems
