What is firmware?

The programs/software that provide the basic functions on electronic devices are referred to as firmware. Swisscom regularly updates the firmware of its own devices to fix bugs and implement new functions.

Firmware updates for your devices are performed automatically, usually at night, as soon as a new version is available.

Internet-Box

You will find the current firmware for your router on the Web Portal(opens in new tab)Select Expert mode and click on Internet-Box  Firmware in the menu.
Please note that you only have access to the Web portal when your home network is connected to your Internet-Box.

Release Notes (Version 14.10.30)

New

  • A new power save function has been integrated into WLAN-Box 3. When there are no Wi-Fi 6E capable devices connected to the WLAN-Box 3, the 6 GHz WLAN is automatically turned off.

blue TV

Automatic updates are regularly carried out on Swisscom TV-Boxes and the blue TV app to enhance your TV experience and add new features.

These updates cannot be managed manually and are rolled out gradually. This means that an update will target a small group of users in the first instance before it is gradually rolled out to a wider group.

For more information about updates, visit the Swisscom Community(opens in new tab).

  • The layout and the navigation structure (PDF)(opens in new tab) in the router portal have been revised and selectively optimized.
  • In the login window, the user can now select initially whether the access should be made via an encrypted https-connection or not.

Improved WPS settings in the router portal

The user can specify under the WLAN menu item, whether or for which WLAN exactly (WLAN 1, WLAN 2 or guest network) the WPS function should be available (for the connection of additional devices), if the WLAN key at the Centro Business is pressed for 5 seconds or WPS is started via the router portal. Important: for security reasons, the WPS function is deactivated after each restart or a router reset.

Outdated WPA encryption for the WLAN has been removed 

The interim WPA encryption standard is no longer supported. Older devices that only support WPA must be connected to the Internet as an alternative. All newer WLAN devices automatically connect to the standard WPA2 encryption.
