Setting up your Swisscom Internet-Box

Internet-Box 3, 4, 5 or WLAN-Box: here are the steps to install it yourself. If the light stays red or nothing works afterwards, I can come to your home.

  1. Plug in the cable

    Optical fibre or phone socket (DSL), into the dedicated port on the back of the box.

  2. Plug in the power

    Wait 2 to 3 minutes for the box to start up completely.

  3. Check the Internet light

    It should turn solid green or white. Red or blinking = network connection problem.

  4. Connect to the Wi-Fi

    Network name (SSID) and password are printed on the label on the back of the box.

  5. Add a WLAN-Box if needed

    Connect it to the Internet-Box with a network cable to extend Wi-Fi coverage.

  6. Set up your Swisscom credentials

    When you first open the box's configuration interface.

If the light stays red

A red light that persists after several minutes usually means the line is not yet activated on the network side, or a connection problem at the fibre or phone socket. Before calling support, check that the cable is fully clicked in at both ends. If the problem persists, I can diagnose on site whether it comes from the box, your home's cabling or the Swisscom network.

Call 078 733 94 96 and describe what you see on the box.
