Internet Backup with stick & Internet failover
Internet Backup Stick
The Internet Backup stick backs up your Internet in the event of a connection loss. If you lose your Internet or fixed network connection, this gives you download speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbit/s.
Setup
You can set up Internet Backup yourself.
- Insert the Internet Backup stick in your router.
- Wait until the Internet Backup LED on the Centro Business lights up white.
- Internet Backup is now activated.
Test
You can test your Internet Backup at any time. Simply simulate an Internet or fixed network fault by disconnecting the network cable (DSL or fibre optic cable) from the router. Internet Backup is now active and automatically provides Internet access via the Swisscom mobile data network.
