Check the connection, eliminate interruptions and improve the speed.
Quick Check allows you to automatically check your line and eliminate Internet and connection problems when there is no connection or when the connection is interrupted or slow.
If your device is not connected to the Internet there can be several reasons for this. If Quick Check does not eliminate the problem, check the following additional solution options:
Check router and reboot
- Is the power cable connected and is the router switched on?
- Is the cable for the Internet connection correctly connected? Is the LED light on the router white?
- Is your WLAN activated on the router.
Can you answer all the questions with ‘yes’? Reboot the router and your device (laptop, PC, smartphone or table) to restore the connection.
Create a temporary connection using the Ethernet cable and set up WLAN again
- Connect the computer and router with the Ethernet cable
- Set up the WLAN connection step by step with the My Swisscom Assistant: Download
- Select the function "Connect WLAN” on the desktop
Is the Internet connection interrupted on some or all connected devices? If Quick Check does not eliminate the problem, check the following additional solution options:
Band steering: check activation
Your router offers two parallel WLAN networks – in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges. In the event of WLAN issues, it is useful if the two networks are combined and band steering activated. Your devices are then automatically connected to the better WLAN network.
N.B. Band steering is automatically activated on all routers. However, the two WLAN networks (2.4 and 5 GHz) need to be combined for it to work.
How to make sure that band steering works on your router:
Enter http://internetbox.home or 192.168.1.1 in your Internet browser and log in with your router password. This lets you access the Internet-Box web portal.
- Select "WLAN" in the menu on the left.
- Click on “WLAN view combined”.
- Select "Activate WLAN band steering".
- Click on "Save".
Check the router position
Try to place your router where you use WLAN most regularly. For more tips on the best place to locate your router refer to your Internet-Box user manual.
Can't change the location?
The WLAN-Box extends the WLAN of your Internet-Box 2 and creates a new WLAN where there is none currently or where the existing WLAN is not sufficient.
Problems with speed are very complex and can have many different causes. In general, a distinction is made between the Internet speed (dependent on your Internet subscription) and the WLAN speed (the connection between the Internet-Box and the computer/laptop). Both factors can influence the speed of your connection.
If Quick Check does not eliminate the problem, check the following additional solution options:
Improve automatically
Analyse your WLAN and improve the quality of the connection with the help of My Swisscom Assistant.
Improve manually
Experienced users can also pinpoint the cause of a slow connection manually. Aside from some technical knowledge, you also need the results of the speed test and availability checker. You can use these results to isolate the cause and work out what to do next, like positioning your router in the optimum location. See the installation instructions for more details.
