I have recenty been "forced" by my internet provider and cable TV provider (COMHEM) to swap my older cabel modem/router for a never:

  • Manufacturer: SagemCom
  • Modell: WiFi Hub C2

Since the swap I can see constant "red lights" in the BeoTool app , telling there there are a number of inconsistancies (e.g products seeing others as offline) as well as that some products cannot access Beoportal.

These "redlights" come and go, so its not consistent.

I´m not using the built in Wifi. For the Wifi I use two Ubiquiti accesspoints.

Any advice?

Are there ports I need to open? I´m not that good with routers, and I did no reconfig the other router that worked fine with my equipment.

Are any of them wired that throw the red lights? Seems strange to me if they’re al wiresless and you don’t use your isp’s wireless at all

Moment and BV11 are wired straight to the router.

M5, M3; A6 and Beosound 1 are wifi via the access points.

So Moment also get red lights (occasionally) in the BeoTool with indication like it cannot access Beoportal, and viewing other devices as offline.

I recently switched all my internet stuff to Ubiquiti. I started 2 years ago with just 2 Ubiquiti AP's and it's iCloudKey and after that I slowly switched all the switches/router (Linksys) with their own PSU's to UniFi switches powered by POE (power over ethernet).

The UniFi USG router is rather easy to install behind the modem. It hasn't WiFi, but that's not needed.

My network can controlled by App and pc.

The network works flawless at a maximum speed between the 250-300Mb provided by my provider. I get this maximum on my iPhone through the AP as well.

 

But. Even with this sophisticated network I also get the same faults (Beoportal on Moment and Essence seen as offline

Just a example:

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Nice feature with the Ubiquiti app, some inside info from your network.

Maybe I just have to stop looking into the BeoTech app  🙂

 

Nice setup and a much more sophisticated network than mine. I dont have managed switched from Ubiquiti  that I think are required to get such nice stats.

Looking into the Beotool app let's us know that there are updates available.

Just start with the UniFi USG and an 8 port switch with 60W POE (4 ports with POE). That way you can eliminate the powersupply of each AP.

And you will have the same information as the above picture shows. Adding an iCloudKey makes that it stores your settings for each AP. Adding any future AP will be done within a few minutes without the hassle of configuring. Same WiFi-ID is broadcasted with the same credentials at every AP. (Unless you need a devoted different WiFi )

Green lines are 1Gbs, orange lines are 100Mbs. Dottes lines are WiFi.

Will the USG replace the router functionality in my existing cabelmodem/router? Meaning I should set it in bridge mode?

Main problem currently is that the other units seem not to see my tv/Moment on the network.

That was never a problem with the old router.

“Vardagsrummet” is my Beovision 11 with the Moment integrated.

Nothing have changed other than that the router has been swapped....
