<title>[ fiber tech] best router for FiOS</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23325726</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just got my Verizon FiOS installed and am using my own personal router in lue of the Westell.  I have the 25MB/15MB package.  I have two different Netgear routers to choose from. 1st router is a FR114P using that I was able to achieve 15MB download and 6MB upload speeds testing to speakeasy.net,. Using my 2nd router a Netgear FVS318v3 I was only able to get 6MBdownload and 5MB upload.  So it looks like I&#146;m in the market for a new router, my main requirement is that it have a SPI firewall.  So what would be the best router to take full advantage of the high speed FiOS internet connection?  Thanks much!  Please reply to messenger@verizon.net]]></description>

<title>[southwest] new to fios, some questions and observations</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23407913</link>
<description><![CDATA[So my FIOS is setup with a Westell router, connected to a DSL modem.  The TV boxes are using coax.

I linked up my Linksys WRT150N so I could get better wifi throughput to the router and all was fine, but it seems when playing Left 4 Dead 2 (in particular, have not tested much else) my ping is obscenely high.  Sometimes I've watched it jump to >1000 ms! And I'm not playing on servers in Europe or anything.  Right now I have the Linksys off and I'm using the Westell for wifi.  My local ping times are all 1-5ms and I used this wireless setup on RR just fine.

The first time this happened it was pinging >1000ms to the first hop. I rebooted the Westell and modem and it was fine, but now it is still >200ms to most game servers.  I still see occasionally spikes to 500-700ms.

Coming from road runner where I had 50-70ms latency on almost any server, this is quite annoying.

Does anyone know if I use my Linksys as the main router (not sure how that affects the TVs) would it be better? It has DD-WRT on it currently.

Are there any settings I can put in to improve it? Anything I can ask VZ to do to improve my latency?]]></description>

<title>[southwest] Upgrading from VZ DSL, would like to keep MSN Premiu</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23408773</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone,
My family currently has the Verizon HSI DSL service. We got it back in 2004 with MSN Premium and as a result still have the addon. We have linked 3 Hotmail/Live accounts to it and are using the premium features (which you can apparently purchase separately for $10/month).

We would like to upgrade to FiOS *without losing the MSN Premium subscription*. Is this possible? I called VZ business office today, the FiOS folks said that I should be able to do it but to check with HSI; HSI said it can't be done because it is no longer offered and when you activate FiOS service, it gets put in as a "new" activation and so they cannot add MSN Premium to it since it is no longer offered.

However the general gist that I got from these convos was that no one actually knows if this is possible because there are so few customers that would actually care.

So, does anyone here know for sure? Are there any folks here who had MSN Premium with DSL and were able to keep it with a FiOS upgrade *after* MSN was no longer available as an add-on for new activations?

Thanks so much!]]></description>

<title>Netgear WGR614v9 as wireless repeater for Actiontec MI424WR</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23408848</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just purchased a WGR614v9 and trying to set it up in wireless repeater mode.   I have the Actiontec MI424WR ver C connected to my FIOS and I want that to be the base station.  I have configured the WGR614v9  in wireless repeater mode, with the same SSID, different IP on same subnet, same wireless channel, and entered the MAC address of the MI424WR.  I am unable to get the two to communicate with each other.  I am unable to ping the WGR614 when I am connected to the MI424 and vice versa.  I have looked all over google and haven't found anything that is helpful.

Are there adjustments that I need to make to the MI424 for the two to communicate with each other?

Thanks,
Duc]]></description>

<title>Is there a recent spike in poeple getting copyright infringe</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23383530</link>
<description><![CDATA[Is there a recent spike in people getting copyright infringement letters?  I never got a notice from any downloads before.  I use utorrent maybe once every 2 weeks for like 1-2 hours.  Even then after the file is downloaded i move it out of the shared folder.  I downloaded a Harry Potter movie just yesterday and today i got an email from verizon with the exact name of the movie.  How the hell did they find out so quickly??  I thought they only come after people who upload??]]></description>

<title>Port Forwarding Stopped Working.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23236679</link>
<description><![CDATA[wireless function of my router wasnt working properly(due to signal interference) so i called in verizon help service. 

she asked me to reset the router and i did. after setting wireless channel to 11 every thing works fine.

however, PORT FORWARDING STOPPED WORKING ANYMORE.(it was port forwarded for past 7 month)
i did everything i did when i first got the router.
Set Static IP, Port forward, and set DMZ when that didnt work.

however no LUCK. i asked someone who had same router to give it a try and he cant get my router to port forward. (his router is port forwarded fine)

does resetting removes firmware or something?
i currently have 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.11.6 
Hardware Version D

 (for some reason when i go to advanced-firmware update and click on "Current Version 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.11.6" it shows hardware version as 9A)
and ofc the router is MI424WR

PS. do not link me portforwards.com. thats the first thing i tried.)

it will be greatly appreciated if someone can help me out.

i struggled for past 2 weeks]]></description>

<title>[northeast] Cancel svc, get new router!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23391605</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just had to post this -- 

My mother in law just canceled her FIoS service because she's getting ready to move out of state.   She didn't get a fight; VZ canceled the service as requested.  Fast forward 10 days.  UPS guy arrives at the front door with a package from VZ.  She opens it.  It's  a new ActionTec!

She calls Verizon, and initially got caught in that loop where if you don't have a VZ telephone number, they don't know how to help you.  --Forget mentioning those account numbers on the invoice - they won't help you.  Then she got caught in the next loop where person #1 forwards you to person #2, who forwards you back to person #1...

Then someone asked her what state she was in - upon hearing the answer, he forwarded her to the correct person for that state.   After a few more forwards, she asked the person (out of sarcasm) "aren't you going to ask me what state I'm in?"  to which that person replied, "Uh, what difference does that make...?"

My wife hasn't relayed the rest of the story yet, but I can't wait to hear how it turns out!]]></description>

<title>New FiOS on its way. Question on IP range with VPN</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23360431</link>
<description><![CDATA[Brian asks:

new feedback for &raquo;Verizon Online FiOS FAQ &raquo; - (Actiontec)

First, thank you everyone for this guide it has been very useful.

My question is below and I&#146;m assuming I&#146;m not the only person to have this question so wondered if it could be covered in a potential update:

Question:
Are there any issues with using a different IP range from 192.168.1.x and anything to consider or be aware of? I&#146;m assuming based on my network knowledge that this should work fine but I know nothing about the FiOS STB and Ethernet to Coax pieces of the puzzle.

Background:
I&#146;m happy (very happy) to be having FiOS installed a week this Friday and want to keep my existing Draytek 2930Vn router for all sorts of reasons (SSL VPN, VoIP, etc etc).
I&#146;ve read the instructions and based on my circumstances (with MediaShare DVR as part of the order) it looks like I want broadband data connection as Ethernet and then to follow Part 4 LAN-to-LAN option.
The instructions make sense to me but I want to use a different IP range. The reason for wanting to change the IP range is I&#146;m currently using 1.1.1.x with 255.255.255.0 subnet mask and I want to keep this for a couple of reasons: 1) I use a couple of LAN-LAN VPN tunnels to friends and one is already using 192.168.1.x 2) My company VPN is configured to route every thing through the VPN tunnel except 1.1.1.x so this allows me to talk to my local LAN without having to disconnect from the VPN.

Please let me know if I should have addressed this somewhere else or if you have any questions/comments.

Regards
Brian ]]></description>

<title>ActionTec MI424-WR Rev C Issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23405257</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a FTP Setup on Computer A using ports 62000-62050 for transfers.  Computer B connects to Computer A's FTP.  When Computer B proceeds to download from Computer A at a estimated 12mb/s all outbound activity seems to die on any Computer on the network.

I cannot ping/resolve addresses on the internet.
I can ping computers on the internal network.
I cannot access the routers admin page, but it responds to ping.
My webserver on the Computer A responds to Internet requests and Internal Requests.
My ftp on Computer A responds to Internet requests and Internal Requests.

If you ask why Im using FTP, I feel I get better speeds and progress information by using FTP to transfer large amounts of data.

Is this normal?  Im inclined to think no, becuase a router should compensate when another Computer starts sending requests.

Both Computers are Gigabit, however the Router is indeed 10/100.  The FTP Client is FileZilla for transfers.  And it is using 1 connection to the FTP Server.

Any help would be nice, or to at least know if this is normal.

So far i've done.

Take all switchs out of the equation (just 1).
Reboot Router

Thanks]]></description>
