Sunrise Smart Wi-Fi Pods for optimal Wi-Fi reception
The smart solution for stable high-speed Wi-Fi that reaches every corner of your home: With our Connect Pods, you can easily expand, boost and optimize your Wi-Fi.
Websites are taking too long, and your files take forever to open. You can optimize your Wi-Fi with our Connect Pods.
You're getting a signal in every room, but the connection is too slow. You should think about changing up the position of your moden or check if there are other electronical devices interfering with your Wi-Fi. Find out how to optimise your Wi-Fi in our Sunrise blog - perfect Wi-FI.
You're living in a big apartment or on several floors. You're not getting a connection in rooms that are far away from your modem. This is where our Connect Pods can help you out and extend your Wi-Fi to every room.
If you’ve stored your modem in a multimedia or distribution box, you’ll generally also find a «patch panel» there. This allows you to directly connect your modem to the LAN ports in the rooms. You can then directly connect the Connect Pod to the port in the room.

Our Connect Pods for optimal reception
A Connect Pod is a Wi-Fi amplifier that can help increase the range of your Wi-Fi and improve the quality of your connection on all devices. It fits into a standard 3-pin socket, connects to your modem and provides ultra-fast, full-coverage Wi-Fi throughout your entire home.
Smaller apartment with up to 3 rooms and 70m2 The strength of your modem should usually be enough.
Mid-sized apartment with 4+ rooms and about 100m2
For good coverage, we recommend setting up Smart Wi-Fi Start with one Connect Pod.
Larger apartments and houses with up to 150m2 To ensure good Wi-Fi coverage and fast internet speed in every room, we recommend setting up Smart Wi-Fi Start and Smart Wi-Fi Extend with one additional Pod.
House with multiple floors With up to 70m2 on each floor, you should set up Smart Wi-Fi with one Connect Pod per floor, to ensure a stable and fast connection in every corner of your house. Smart Wi-Fi can connect up to four additional Connect Pods.
Smart Wi-Fi
Smart Wi-Fi Start
The smart starter package for best Wi-Fi reception.
The perfect extension to Smart Wi-Fi Start with extra Connect Pods for larger households with multiple rooms and many connected devices. Upgradeable up to 4 additional Connect Pods.
We integrated the Smart Wi-Fi Technology from our Wi-Fi Partner Plume directly into our Connect Pods and some of our modems. Our Pods create a seamless network throughout the household, using Wi-Fi Mesh Technology to constantly monitor and improve the connectivity between the Pods and all connected Wi-Fi clients to ensure the best signal at all times.
How much does a Connect Pod cost?
The first Connect Pod is included with Smart Wi-Fi Start and costs CHF 5.- per month. Each additional Connect Pod is available with Smart Wi-Fi Extend and costs CHF 2.50 per month. The costs will be listed separately on your monthly bill. You can order up to a total of 5 Connect Pods.
How can I order a Connect Pod?
You can order the pods directly in the My Sunrise app, by calling one of our agents using the number 0800 707 505, or by going to your local Sunrise store.
How many Connect Pods do I need for my apartment?
This depends on the size of your apartment. You can find more detailed information here.
Do Connect Pods work with all internet modems?
The Pods work best with our Connect Box Family of modems, as the service is fully integrated into the modem software. If you have a "Sunrise Internet Box" type of modem, we also support the Pods by providing 2 Pods as part of the Starter Kit to replace the existing Wi-Fi modem.
Important: The Connect Pods are not compatible with Fritzbox and 5G modems.
How do I install a Connect Pod?
Depending on your modem, the installation is slightly different. For our new Connect Box family of modems, installation is plug-and-play, and you can just plug the pod into a wall socket. It will automatically connect to your modem. If you have a "Sunrise Internet Box" or "Sunrise Internet Box Fiber" you can download our Smart Wi-Fi App which will guide you through the installation.
How and where to correctly place Connect Pods in my house?
Pods should be free from obstacles and about halfway between your modem and a location with bad Wi-Fi.
What do I do, if I move into a smaller home and don't need Sunrise Smart Wi-Fi anymore?
You can cancel Sunrise Smart Wi-Fi anytime with a notice period of 2 months.
