Folks, good evening

I have acquired an old Internet Box Light router and woudl like to know if it can be used as a WLAN Repeater ?

Also: how can the old password be reset on this unit? I currently have a fibre connection using IB3 - would I have to do the long route by disconnecting IB3 and then connecting the IBS to the internet connection and re-setting from there?

Thanks for your help on this one.

NO, this is not possible with Swisscom Internet-Box Light

 

For WLAN Repeater or Access Point use Swisscom WLAN-Box 2 or 3

Many thanks @Black Mamba for the confirmation 👍 

 

Will just have to seek another option  if I can, but is frustrating that the IBL doesn't support this!

 

Appreciate your assistance and reply.
