Question about Swisscom WLAN Box 2

Yes, in principle you can connect the WLAN-Box 2 to the Zyxel AX7501 router, but the exact procedure depends on how you want to use the devices:

🔌 Connection options

1. as a WLAN extension (access point or repeater):
- The WLAN Box 2 from Swisscom can be used as a WLAN extension.
- You can connect it to the Zyxel AX7501 via LAN cable to get a stronger Wi-Fi signal in another area of your home.
- Prerequisite: The Zyxel router must have DHCP activated so that the WLAN Box 2 receives an IP address.

2. pair via WLAN (if supported):
- Some versions of the WLAN Box also support wireless connection to a router.
- However, this only works reliably with Swisscom routers, as automatic pairing via the MySwisscom app is designed for Swisscom hardware.

3. manual setup:
- You can also configure the WLAN-Box 2 manually by setting it up via the web interface and giving it a fixed IP.
- Important: Make sure that there are no IP conflicts and that the SSID (WLAN name) and password are set correctly.
