Whatever happened to BOX?
I bought a BitDefender BOX, (network "appliance" supposedly intended to firewall a LAN). Tech support at Bit Defender was never able to get it into bridge mode, and I declined to use it as my router, so there it sits. BTW, the main reason it is useless is that it is configured ONLY through a "wizard", and when the wizard…

New firmware release notes?
Looks like a new firmware just hit my Box 2 this morning, version 2.1.16.13. Any release notes before I upgrade? I’m particularly waiting for the ability to select our own DNS servers rather than use my router’s, which is set to the ISP and can’t be changed.

LAN IP Addresses
Is there any benefit from using 10.x.x.0 or 172.x.x.0, or 192.168.x.0? Just curious is there are advantages of using one convention over the others? Thanks

Easiest install ever
Installed Box 2 today. Easiest install ever! Arris modem —> Box 2 —> eero (bridge mode). Install made easier because Box used 172.* IP set automatically, thus no double NAT problems. Suggest that users put their own router in bridge mode and restart it prior to beginning rest of install. Good work, Bitdefender! .... and my…

Double NAT
Hi all. Will receive Box2 in a few days and have a few Q for the group ... 1. My Arris dg3270 modem must have dhcp enabled to work TV set boxes connected through MOCA. Its IP address is the usual 192.168.0.1. I have disabled wifi on the Arris since I have an eero router handling this. 2. Eero router IP is 192.168.7.1 thus…

Box 2 few months in
Not sure how everyone else feels but I have mixed reviews on box 2 after using it for a while. While the software is pretty good minus a few features that are severly missing, the hardware needs to go to a recycler. Yes I am aware it was never meant to be a firewall replacement but with the configuration of it being…

Unable to download Netgear firmware
Tech support has suggested I go to Netgear interface and enable the DHCP server option, however I am unable to login to my router. Can I login to my Box and temporarily disable the DHCP server option there? Thanks.

Work flow for family members
Hi, I have a family of 4 with two teenagers. They are the hackers of my network. I would like them to install bitdefender protection on their devices but I do not want to share my email/password with them. That way, I can use the app to control access when necessary via the box. Akin to Amazon, can there be family sub…

How to integrate BitDefender Box 2 into my network
I need to use BitDefender box 2 as bridged device, but can't seem to find a way to do it. My current setup is, I have dual WAN coming into my Fortigate 100D then that goes into Open Mesh switch. Even if I can put Fortigate 100D into bridged setup, but Box 2 doesn't have a 3rd RJ45 port to handle it. Thank you

Multiple boxes in multiple locations with different subnets
Is anyone using Bitdefender boxes (boxi?) in different locations? The app is lacking in separating devices by location and by not giving traffic data by location. All my devices are listed in the first box and my second box has no data. I've placed the bitdefender boxes between my ISP modem and my network switch. Anyone…

Nord VPN
I have the first generation Bitdefender BOX. I plan to get the second generation BOX when it's time to renew my subscription. In the meantime I want to subscribe to Nord VPN. Will having this VPN interfere with either of the BOXes in anyway?

BOX 2 -- does anyone know any more?
I have a BOX 2 "up and running", but it only configures with a "wizard", so there are a lot of things I can't make work. Does anyone have any idea when new firmware will be released that will let us configure BOX 2 directly (without the wizard)?

Internet Connection (WAN) Firewall for Box 2
I am curious if someone from Bitdefender could answer my question. I took a look in the documentation and wasn't able to find any information regarding how the Box 2 firewall works for the Internet Connection. I am curious of what the settings are for the Box 2, does it deny/block all incoming requests from the Internet?
