  • Please see @lucaberta ’s excellent post if you’re looking to re-purpose your old IB or IB2 to use as a wifi-access point.

    Key point is to disable DHCP by unchecking “Activate IP address distribution (DHCP)” in the “Network->Settings” page within the internetbox.

  • Thanks for this excellent guide @lucaberta

    I have the same settings as you and everything is working perfectly. 😀

  • Thanks for all the useful information Luca.

    Interestingly, my IB3’s connection became very unstable after I got the IB2 working.

    I tried to disable the DHCP server on the IB2 as you suggested but it didn’t solve the issue. I’ll tinker more with it tonight and report back. Need to get back to work 🙂

    The LED was still red and blinking. That is most likely because I haven’t set it up properly though.

    I’ll update my post if I can get it all sorted out.

  • Thanks Luca.

    I got it working now. I was plugging the ethernet cable to the purple port because I thought it was “Internet In”. I just plugged it to one of the yellow ports and it works now.

    Anyways, for anyone who might be looking to re-purpose an IB2 as a router. I took the following steps:

    1) Factory reset IB2

    2) Plug ethernet cable from wall socket (which is connected to IB3) to one of IB2’s yellow port.

  • Correct. Sorry if I was unclear in my original post.

    Essentially I was hoping that I can plug the ethernet port of the IB2 to the wall (which is connected to the IB3) and use it as a router. But all I’m getting is a red light and no internet access.

    I did check that the wall socket i’m connected to has internet connectivity.

  • Using internetbox2 as WLAN-Box

  • Hi,

    I have recently switched to InternetBox3.

    I was wondering if it’s possible to re-purpose my Internetbox2 as a WLAN-Box/repeater? I tried plugging the internetbox2 to the wall ethernet socket but it doesn’t seem to be able to access the internet.

    Thanks in advance!
