It would make sense if the web portal indicated that this is a beta version or a release candidate. Expert mode or not.
Unfortunately, the two messages in the web portal do not indicate your beta version and not every user wants to have a beta version in operation:
- “New firmware is available. Please check the firmware page.”
- “New firmware available: 14.20.24”
If Swisscom were to stick to the usual international practice in its naming, you are of course right, then the 14.20.24 would actually have to indicate the “still before release status”.
In reality, 14.20.24 was the release candidate to be rolled out at the beginning of May, was passed again by selected testers and nothing was changed in the firmware afterwards.
What always confuses me is that Swisscom only declares a firmware version to be an official release very late, namely only when the automatic productive rollout, which is carried out in stages, has already been largely completed.
In principle, you can assume that Swisscom will never release a real, risky “beta version” for general use for the vast majority of customers, regardless of what is stated on a website somewhere as the name of a firmware version is currently being addressed.

This version is potentially unstable. Unfortunately there is actually no indication of the beta status and I installed this version last Friday. Yesterday the internet via LAN stopped working. Unfortunately I’m just a few hundred kilometers away from the IB4 and can’t offer any further information. According to people on site, switching it off/on helped.

If strange problems arise after a firmware update, a cold start usually helps. This does not mean restarting the software, but rather briefly disconnecting the Internet box from the power supply for around 5 seconds.
In any case, I used this firmware myself for over 15 days without any problems, of course there can always be exceptions.
I have also activated it for older neighbors in the last few days and no additional restart had to be carried out there.

Hi
The deleted devices no longer appear for me. Maybe (and I never actually recommend this) it can help in this case to do a reset and not import an old config file again. There may be things in there that are causing this. But if necessary. a bit of work if you have named many devices yourself. Many settings come back automatically. But everything without guarantee.
I’ve never heard of the topic of LAN no longer working and haven’t seen it in any testing. Does this mean that no device that is connected to a LAN port works anymore?

Thank you very much, I found the button, strangely enough it wasn’t available after the first reboot and my box needed a second one.

Hello zaeme,
14.20.30 is already installed on my IB3. Is there a change log for this?
In the future, the Internet boxes will be automatically updated to the latest firmware and there will no longer be any official information about what has been improved because errors will be fixed that may not be present for everyone.

So I think that Swisscom will no longer publish any release information in the future is not only nonsensical, but also very unlikely, which has always been the case with all Swisscom releases:
Unfortunately, the release information is only published after a rollout has been completed, and the rollout of 14.20.30 only started yesterday or today.
So you will have to wait a long time for the corresponding release information.

In the release notes V14.20.24 under Restrictions it is pointed out that the “Firmware is not compatible with Internet boxes with satellite access and Boosters”. Does this mean that you are not allowed to install the firmware when a Nokia 5G Booster is installed? Has anyone tested this yet?
Thank you very much and best regards.

That means:
If the Internet box is used with satellite internet access and you also have a 5G booster there, the firmware should not be used
The firmware can be used for normal DSL/copper applications with 5G Booster
