Your Wifibri InstallationInformationUnderstanding Your Installation

What Does a Typical Installation Look Like?

A typical Wifibri installation usually consists of:

  • a WiBiBox
  • a network connection
  • a Wifibri sticker containing the Wi-Fi details
  • a QR code for quick and easy connection

Most WiBiBox devices receive power through the network cable (PoE) on port 1, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.

In some specific installations, or when a fibre-optic connection is used, a dedicated power adapter may be required.


Example of a GEN 5 Installation

This photo shows a typical GEN 5 installation:

  • a WiBiBox AX
  • the network cables
  • the Wifibri sticker with QR code
  • the connection to the Wifibri network

With GEN 5 installations, each home or apartment receives its own private Wi-Fi network.


Where Is the WiBiBox Usually Installed?

The WiBiBox is typically:

  • mounted on a wall
  • installed inside a technical cabinet or utility room
  • located close to the (Wifibri) network connection

Depending on the building and the hardware used, the installation may look slightly different.


What Should I Not Disconnect?

Do not unplug cables unless necessary.

Always leave the following connected:

  • the network cable(s)
  • any fibre-optic connections

Disconnecting cables may interrupt your internet connection.

If you experience any issues, please contact the Wifibri helpdesk.


I Don’t See a Sticker or QR Code

Some older installations still use the Wifibri GEN 4 platform.

With these installations:

  • there is usually no sticker present
  • shared Wi-Fi networks are commonly used
  • you will typically see network names such as:
    • Wifibri
    • Wifibri Public

My Installation Looks Different

No problem.

Wifibri uses different hardware models and customised installations at certain locations.
