Connect your WLAN-Box 3 to the Internet-Box
If possible, use a cable to connect the WLAN-Box 3 to the
Internet-Box. Use the network ports in the rooms if available. In
the absence of network ports, you can install an Ethernet cable
(available from the Swisscom Shop).
If you use WLAN to connect the WLAN-Box 3 to the
Internet-Box, position the WLAN-Box 3 roughly halfway
between your Internet-Box and an area not covered by WLAN.
Your optimal WLAN network
The WLAN-Box 3 ensures an optimal WLAN network throughout
the entire house by means of «WLAN-Mesh». Your devices
(smartphones, tablets, etc.) are automatically connected to the
best WLAN signal - either to the Internet-Box or to a
WLAN-Box 3, depending on your location. When you move
around the room, the best connection is always created
automatically.
Connect devices via
cable
You can connect up to 3 devices via Ethernet to the WLAN-Box 3.
We always recommend a direct cable connection between the
TV-Box and Internet-Box for Swisscom blue TV (in same room). If
this is not possible, please connect the TV-Box to the
WLAN-Box 3 with the enclosed Ethernet cable (if TV-Box and
Internet-Box are not in the same room or there are no network
connections in the rooms).
WLAN-Box 3 setup
(Extend your WLAN using 1-4 WLAN-Boxes 3.)
Tips for good WLAN
• Position the Internet-Box in a central location
• Place all devices in a free-standing position
• We recommend you use a cable to connect the WLAN-Box 3
WLAN-Box 3 positioning
The WLAN-Box 3 transmits the WLAN in all directions. You
should therefore position it as close to the centre of a room as
possible. Place the WLAN-Box in a free-standing position on
a piece of furniture, not in the direct vicinity of other objects
or metal casings. You will obtain better WLAN coverage if you
maintain a clearance of around 20 cm to walls and do not
position a WLAN-Box in the same room as the Internet-Box.
