Question about Swisscom WLAN-Box 5
Does this work only with Swisscom internet box or can you configure it to work with any router/switch e.g. from another internet provider?

The WLAN-Box 5 is compatible with the Internet-Box 2 and all more recent models, but can also be connected to any LAN network via an RJ45 Ethernet port, even if the provider is not Swisscom.
However, optimum compatibility and certain advanced functions are guaranteed mainly with Swisscom Internet-Boxes from version 2 onwards. The Internet-Box plus and Internet-Box standard are not compatible with the WLAN-Box 5 because they support the older Wi-Fi 5 standard and do not support the latest encryption standards, which can lead to incompatibilities.
If you connect the device to a non-Swisscom router via Ethernet, it will function as a WLAN extender to expand your wireless coverage, but you may not have access to all advanced features that are available when used with compatible Swisscom Internet-Boxes.
