I have. Point 4 just now again. It also lights up green like before.

@gustavos

Ok, how is the 5G booster connected to the Internet box, directly via LAN, or via a switch, or via WLAN with a WLAN-Box?

Direct, everything with a cable. Just like in the instructions. The Ibox 3 is almost at the window to the booster. I’ll load the latest firmware onto the box today or tomorrow. Let’s see.

Edit: There doesn’t seem to be a newer one, which is a shame.

gustavos

According to your information, you have the latest firmware 12.02.48 on the IB3, where do you want to install another one?

Which Internet subscription do you have now, the “M” or “L”?

For example, the one below is: the subscription “M” with 5G booster, what will you see there in the Kundencenter.

I edited the firmware thing.

The subscription is M and brings about half of the possible price.

Max. 140 Mbit/s download and 30 Mbit/s upload availableMax. 332 Mbit/s download with the Internet-Booster 5G

gustavos

This is what it looks like for me with the subscription “M”, it is important to carry out the measurement with the desktop version of CNLAB, but first the 5G booster should be available in the IB3 menu.

If it doesn’t work, contact support tomorrow during normal working hours.

Important: the 5G booster speed is not displayed in the IB3 menu, and the IB3 speed measurement does not show it either.

Yes thanks, I just saw that the booster is shown as not connected. But can access it via IP.

Yes, something is wrong, it’s best to contact support in the morning.

Have you already unplugged the 5G booster from the power supply?

Uh yeah. Power is off in both cases, on off in different sequences, etc. Yes, support is probably the only thing.

gustavos

Yours also says something different than mine, see the picture below.

For me it says up to 650Mbit/s, so possible for the “L” subscription.

@ebu basically yes, this function is there for exactly that.

But: if the substructure is already shaky (WLAN-Box switching back and forth), even excluding individual or several devices from the bonding will not really improve the situation.

If you really want to work seriously with the booster, then it should first be connected directly to the router with a network cable; ideally without a switch or WLAN-Box in between.

@ebu

Yes, I only use this function on the base station for the ARLO Camera, otherwise it remains active on all devices in the network.

@kaetho

In fact, yesterday’s discussion prompted me to approach the matter with more effort and less plug & play thought.

Among other things, I will disconnect the speakers and gradually integrate the devices.

Feedback follows. But it won’t be implemented until the weekend.

@kaetho

Small note: The booster was always connected directly to the IB3 with a cable and without a switch.

What I didn’t consider due to a lack of specialist knowledge was the fact that apparently the signals from the booster and the Vdsl are not bundled into one (1) signal but are distributed separately in the network.

@ebu ok, I didn’t consider that. I was probably just triggered by the switching of the WLAN boxes that Roger mentioned 😉

In my opinion, not being able to fix the connection point manually is the biggest shortcoming of an otherwise very good product. This has brought me to the brink of despair several times, because under certain circumstances the WLAN-Box can automatically switch from AP operation to repeater mode and then address and block the ports on the switches involved (STP).

January, you have now looked into the matter in more detail and have seen that the whole structure is not entirely trivial to handle. If you can now get around this weakness of the WLAN-Box a little more consciously, the whole exchange here will have been worth it 😉

@gustavos: You don’t have to do anything at the moment (maybe check that there aren’t two devices connected to Ethernet port 2 and think of an alternative to Devolo). Otherwise everything is correct regarding the subscription and activated speed. The speed you measure and the pure g.Fast, booster doesn’t matter at the moment.

There was an activation problem with new activations that was identified and fixed. At the moment all affected boosters are being identified and the process is being restarted. I think that should happen during the day.

Sorry for the troubles

@gustavos And you shouldn’t mess around in the Fastmile Booster menu or look at the radio connectivity. If you don’t need 5G to fill up the few mbps, then the combined bands of 4G are completely sufficient.

@gustavos Booster is active and provides bandwidth 😀 Please do not plug the booster into a range extender or something like that. If so, then only a maximum of one switch between the router and booster, ideally only connected directly via Ethernet.

Hello,

Does anyone know why the IB5G shows such a strange IP address in my IB3 menu?
