Actiontec MI424WR Gen3 Rev.I - Firmware 40.21.10.2

Greetings:
I contacted Actiontec for the official release date of Firmware 40.21.10.2. They indicated that it was released at end of October 2013. Does anyone know or have any experience when Verizon began updating its Users after they receive it from the MFg? Does Verizon release it a month later after certification tests? Was it mid- to late November perhaps?
According to Actiontec, they are only a hardware Mfg and that Verizon creates the Firmware. I was on Verizon Chat and they (Efrain) told me that Actiontec created the Firmware. My only concern is that I would like know what date my Router was upgraded to see if it coincides with an issue I am having. Thanks for looking!

I have 40.21.10.2 on my Actiontec Rev. I. I do not know for sure when my router was updated, I don't really pay any attention to that kind of stuff, but I just checked and the router says it has been active for 801 hours, 28 minutes, which is somewhere around 33 - 34 days. So early Nov. it appears for me.
What kind of issue are you having? I have a pretty simple setup - 3 STBs, 2 Ethernet connected PCs (1 via coax and NIM), 1 Android phone, 1 iPhone, and one Android tablet. But all work well.

Login into your router, go to Advanced, on the upper right is an option for Firmware upgrade.
To login into your router:
the address is 192.168.1.1
username and password are on the router label ...
A caution: others (myself included) have reported that the firmware update available at ...
https://upgrade.actiontec.com
... is not necessarily the latest version. E.g., my router reports the current version as 40.20.1 while the upgrade site reports the available "upgrade" as 40.19.36 ()obviously an earlier version). I once mistakenly forced the upgrade and messed up things, until I finally reverted to the prior version.
I seem to recall that the explanation for this is that the latest firmware is usually pumped by Verizon and not Actiontec, which means all you have to do is let the router itself handle the chores. Check this thread for more details:

BTW what version are you showing at this time?

Port Forwarding for L2TP/IPSec VPN Behind Verizon Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 Rev. E v20.21.0.2

I've got a NAS setup with various services running on custom ports to help minimize exposure (especially to script kiddies). I've tested everything both internally and externally to confirm they all work, and even had someone at a remote location confirm accessibility as well. Port forward configurations performed on the Actiontec are working well.
I installed an L2TP/IPSec VPN server, tested internally and it connected successfully. So for all intents & purposes, this validates that the VPN server is correctly configured to accept inbound connections and functioning correctly.
I logged into the Verizon Actiontec MI424WR router, setup port forwarding for UDP ports 500, 1701 & 4500.
Note: I added the AH & ESP protocols based on what I saw on the built-in L2TP/IPSec rules
With the port forwarding in place, I tested VPN externally but it didn't connect.
I've done the following so far to no avail:
Double & triple checked the port forwards, deleted & recreated the rules a few times to be sure
There are no other pre-existing L2RP/IPSec port forward rules or otherwise conflicting port forward rules (e.g.: another rule for ports 500, 1701 or 4500)
There was an L2TP port triggering rule enabled, that I toggled on and off with no change
Verified the firewall on VPN server had an exclusion for L2TP, or that the firewall is off. (Firewall is off to reduce a layer of complexity, but it worked internally to begin with so I doubt that's the issue.)
Since it works internally, and there are no entries in the logs on the device indicating inbound connections, I'm convinced its an issue with the Verizon Actiontec router. But unfortunately, I'm not sure what else to try or where else to look to troubleshoot this. For instance, is there a log on the router that I can view in real time (e.g.: tail) that would show me whether or not the inbound connection attempt is reaching the device, and whether or not the device allowed or blocked it?
My router details:
Verizon Actiontec
MI424WR-GEN2
Revision E
Firmware 20.21.0.2
Verizon Actiontec built-in L2TP/IPSec rule templates. They're not currently in use, but are baked into the firmware for easy configuration/selection from a drop down menu.
Solved!

normally a vpn on that router, will have a GRE tunneling protocol as well.
two ways to build the PF rules,
Manually
Preconfigured
I know the preconfigured VPN rules will do the GRE protocol as well, but if you do it by hand you can't get it.

Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I with ChangeIP dynamic dns

I'm trying to configure my router (Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I, v. 40.21.10.3) with ChangeIP.com dynamic DNS. It's listed in the provider drop-down in the Dynamic DNS section of the router GUI, so i figured i'd be all set. I setup an account with ChangeIP, and then got a hostname from them.
In the router i'm configured as follow..
Hostname: MyHost.changeip.com (<-- actually MyHost.onmypc.org; "onmypc.org" being one of the domains ChangeIP offers for free.)
Connection: Broadband Connection (Ethernet/Coax)
Provider: changeip.com
Username: My changeip username
Password: My changeip password
Dynamic DNS System: Dynamic DNS
Offline: (not checked)
SSL Mode: None
In the status area it just says "Error - Unknown changeip.com error". There's nothing in the changeip knowledgebase. Has anyone tried configuring changeip on their router? I know they have something called homeing beacon, but really i just want this to work as configured without having to install anything extra.
Thanks!

Hello, I had the exact same problem. It seem Verison FiOS router is not very flexible. You can't enter another Dynamic DNS (DDNS) and can only use one on the list. The only two free one I found was no-ip.com and changeip.com.
The no-ip.com came back with a host not found cause they've changed the name to noip.com (without the dash) so the dumb router is not able to find it.
The changeip.com is no help either as you've found out. I keep getting Error but it does not say why. Fortunetely I did found a solution. You can download changeip.com's DDNS Update Client (for Windows, Linux, or OSX). The called this software as Homeing Beacon.
http://www.changeip.com/accounts/downloads.php
In Windows it runs as a self startup service so you don't to remember to run it but you will need a Windows PC to be on for the update to occur. Basically instead of updating changeip.com's DDNS entry from the router, you have a Windows client that somehow figures out what the router's IP and act as a proxy agent and update your DNS entry on changeip.com. This is a workable workaround, I think. The drawback is you need a PC running every so often on your home network so updates occur. But, the price is FREE and you can't beat that.

Actiontec MI424WR Gen2 router (revision E) firmware bug

I just received a new Actiontec MI424WR Gen2 (revision E) router. It works fine, but I encountered a software bug when editing Parental Controls.
If you remove a website address from a rule, it deletes it from website list, but it also adds it to keyword list. If you save the rule and then try to edit it to remove the keywords, the keywords are not deleted. The firmware version is 20.8.0
If there is newer firmware which addresses it, I cannot find it, as this model router is not listed on the
firmware download page http://www2.verizon.net/micro/fios_router_update/

You were told correctly. Even though the Wireless G does not support the 35/35. Rev. E is is what most everyone is getting. But I have heard of some Rev. F going out at times. I guess it depends on availability, when the Rev. E runs out of production, perhaps when there is no more Rev. E in stock. I know even on a wired connection the Rev. C is prone to locking up when playing multi user games such as X Box. Now if you were having problems with the X Box App for FiOS TV, I would demand a new one. Even Gen 2 Rev. E is better than C. Will not help wireless much. If you have your router plugged into the Rev. C, I would say the Rev. C should go. Option I used. I use the Hawking HWABN1, but there are cheaper ones available.
I would say that Rev C is very old, and you should qualify for a newer version, since it is locking up intermittantly. Rev. C will probably be told to send to the recyle bin.

and I tried valiently for months to get it replaced with a Rev F (or is it Rev G - I forget) wireless N router. I was even told that I would get a new Wireless N router when I upgraded my service to 35/35 from 15/5. I even had a date/time set for a tech to do the install of the new router.
But in the end Verizon would not do it, and told me that the Wireless N models are only for business accounts and only for the 125/50 service.
As a result of this I bought a separate N router which I have set up as an N access point. This works OK but is an annoying (and costly) alternative to what could have been a clean solution.
I'd rate this level of customer service as poor.

Actiontec MI424WR rev e frequently drops connection with Skype

My Actiontec MI424WR unit drops its public i.p. address while using Skype. It was a lot worse before I routed all wireless traffic through my Linksys WRT54GL router. This wll be the 3rd replacement Actiontec I've received from Verizon. I've requested a newer model but they'll only send the rev E which fails the same. Calling Verizon only gets me another rev E so it could fail the same within 1 month. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
This problem occurs whether connected wirelessly or wired. Hard resetting & powercycling isn't helping.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm connected to the ONT via coax, and the MOCA speed is greater than 200. I know I'm losing my public IP because it displays "connecting" under Broadband Connection while looking at the Main menu under My Router. "Connecting" is displayed in orange. Normally, it'll display my public IP address and the status is CONNECTED. Luckily, by using my own wireless router, it doesn't take as long to obtain my public IP address again. Also, when I lose my public IP address, I can not ping 192.168.1.1.

Guest Network access issue on Apple Airport Extreme 802.11AC router and Actiontec MI424WR Rev.1

I contacted Apple because I am not able to create any guest Network on my Airport Extreme because I was told that my modem needs to be simple. Per Apple: "The Guest Network feature will not operate correctly unless your "main" AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem........not a modem/router (such as the Actiontec MI424WR Rev.1) or gateway type of device that is often furnished by Internet Service Providers to their customers."
So is it possible to make this version of Actiontec a simple modem. Is this even possible or will I need a new modem?
NOTE: I disabled the wireless functionality of the actiontec.

Do you have FiOS TV ? You can completely bridge the ActionTec or take it out of the equation entirely if you don't have TV to worry about. Or, you can make the Apple router your primary and put the ActionTec behind it, with the trade-off that things like Remote DVR and Caller ID on TV won't work the best.

Actiontec MI424WR Router Revision I - Having a problem

Background:
=========
I am running FIOS Triple Play service since January 6 (20 days). I have the Actiontec MI424WR FIOS N Router REV. I with the latest firmware. Connected to the MI424WR is an Netgear WNDR4500 (via LAN to LAN connection), which serves as Access Point. WiFi is completely turned OFF on the Actiontec.
I had Internet/Phone only package for 18 months without any problems, service downtime or slowdowns. The connection was from the ONT directly to Netgear WNDR3700 router via Ethernet. There was no Actiontec(s) used.
Issue:
=====
The problem desrcibed below is happening on my HARDWIRED PC (meaning, connected via Ethernet to LAN), so this has nothing to do with WIFI.
On four separate occasions I noticed that after running for about 48-72 hours, that the internet pretty much stops working. Some pages stop loading (cannot be found) but some do load (VERY SLOWLY), but do not display graphics, or the text is misalligned and in weird fonts. In addition, my Outlook 2010 starts getting "stuck" in trying to retrieve email, and PING'ing sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Bascially, it's like my whole internet goes down, but not 100%. Maybe 95%.
Testing:
======
Going to 192.168.1.1 (IP of Actiontec) and/or 192.168.1.26 (IP of Netgear WNDR4500) shows that both are connected to the internet. However, those same pages load (if at all) "very slowly".
I initially thought that thep roblem may be within my PC or the Netgear WNDR4500, but I am 99% sure it is not related to either. First of all, I have been running the same build of Windows 7 SP1 for at least 6 months and I never have any problems. Additionally, when these internet issues start, the rest of the computer continues to run just fine. REBOOTING the PC (numerous times) does NOT resolve the issue.
I then went on to see if rebooting the WNDR4500 helps anything. Nada. Same issues remain.
Only when I reboot the Actiontec MI424WR FIOS N Router REV. I (running firmware version: 40.19.22) does the problem get completely resolved. This is done while the the is PC on and without any reboots. After the Actiontec goes back online, I am able to just refresh any of the "defective" webpages, and they re-load fast and looking just fine. All of he four times I have had this happen all I needed to do is turn off and then back on the Actiontec.
This lasts for about 48-72 hours, and then the same exact problem arises.
Conclusion:
========
Something must be happening to the Actiontec that causes this scenario. By the way, the STB's work just fine during this whole ordeal. I have checked the log file of the Actiontec and cannot find anything abnormal.
I would love to hear opinions from others, or especially if you think you had something like this happen to you.
I just can't imagine what it can be. I do have Verzion giving me a replacement Rev. I (RED case) router later this week. Perhaps ithe one I have is flaky.

Well, my replacement Rev I lasted for the same 48 or so hours and then the same exact problem appeared.
I have decided to flash my WNDR4500 with the BETA firmware as the next step of trying to solve my issue. It is : Version 1.0.0.103 - BETA
In the mentime, here is a copy of my Actiontec LOG file from the moment the replacement Rev I. was installed to the moment I had to turn it off/on manually to fix thing (at 9:44:05 on Feb 2). I don't see anything wrong anywhere.
I have redacted my IP address for privacy.

Swap Actiontec MI424WR Router

Verizon needed to swap my Actiontec MI424WR router for performance reasons. However I had a significant amount of time invested in my configuration so I was reluctant to agree. Fortunately I had 7 versions of my configuration saved. It was my understanding from talking with Verizon that I should be able to load saved configurations into the new router. However when I go to do this I get ...
The configuration file that you are trying to load does not match this device I could save a configuration file from the old router and load it into the old router.I can save a configuration file from the new router and load it into the new router.I cannot save a configuration file from the old router and load it into the old router. I can save a configuration file from the new router and load a configuration from the new Has anyone successfully swapped an Actiontec device or solved this issue? There are the specs for the new router ... unfortunately I don't know the specs for the old one as Verizon took it. Firmware Version: 20.10.7.5 Model Name: MI424WR-GEN2 Hardware Version: F Got a response from Verizon and Actiontec and it's not a good one. Configuration files are specific to device therefore new devices must always be configured manually. Does this make any sense?

This got off topic real quick but I have the same issue as the original poster, A LOT of time invested in configuration especially for VoIP QOS as that is not documented very well nor do the Verizon techs understand anything in that arena much less general networking and always respond with we don't support QOS. Really? Better get w/ the rest of the world if you want to keep customers Verizon!!! I was actually told by a tech that if my speeds are in the kb's for a 150/150 plan it can only mean I have some malware or a virus on my system. His claim was that a higher level tech had told him this is a factual rule. He stuck tight to this claim even after I told him I atached a single, "flashed-to-factory" tablet with a direct ethernet connection directly to the router with no other devices connected and wireless disabled, had the same exact issue as the other PCs. Yes, a virus or malware *could* be a problem in some circumstances but this guy was clinging to it like it was always the case which is rediculous. I went on to prove that if what he was saying was true, why would my mobile devices experience this horrible connection speed when *ONLY* connected to the FiOS router and not other networks??? Idiot. Back to the config file. I've checked both routers and they are identical in model, version, firmware and both are gen3 I. The details under System Monitoring > Router Status is identical (except for obvious serial # and MAC of course). So it appears that this actiontec feature was intentionally hacked by Verizon which really gets under my skin. I am sure they do this so people don't load corrupt or misconfigured configuration files into the new router and still complain about the same issue they were having. But this is a very shoddy way to NOT have to provide the proper support where a real qualified technician should be able to identify BEFORE changing out the router if the config file is the issue or not. My biggest gripe is the techs that work at Verizon that I have dealt with have a very poor understanding of common networking concepts, troubleshooting methods and how routers actually work and I don't agree with Verizon's blatent decision to remove this capability as if they know better then their cutomers whats good for them. Now I have to go through and screen shot every config page and manually key in everything. What a PIA especially when I'm absolutely certain the issue is the chewed up fiber strands I can visually see with my eyes in my yard from gophers but the verizon tech still thinks it's the router!!! Idiot. POOR MOVE VERIZON.

Mi424wr-gen3I no internet access from secondary subnet / router

All,
I am looking to provide internet access to my internal LAN / WLAN devices on another router. I have configured my second router to connect to the 192.168.1.0/24 network on the mi424wr LAN.
Static routes: 192.168.2.0/24 next hop 192.168.1.254 (secondary router interface connected to m1424wr LAN)
Firewall policy filter: Network Home Inbound and outbound allow access sourced and destined to both subnets.
I have layer 3 conectivity between the routers but I am not able to browse the internet from secondary router 192.168.2.0 network. My default router on the 192.168.2.0/24 is the 192.168.1.1 router.
I tried to modifiy the DNS setting for devices on the 192.168.2.0 net but nothing works. Used 192.168.1.1 (mi424wr interface which the setting for the 192.168.1.0 net devices. Even tried using verizon's DNS server 68.237.161.12 but no internet access. The mi424wr does have a dns server setting which I tried to statically add 192.168.2.x host but that did not work.
So I am not sure if the mi424wr DNS server is not allowing any other subnets beside the 192.168.1.0/24 to access its DNS services or some other policy is needed to be created. My secondary router is not NATing and at a loss.
Tried to research other methods of using my secondary router to connect to internet with the mi424wr-gen3I but nothing seems worth trying. Setting the mi424wr-gen3I to bridge mode would be an option but have not seen any configuration for the REV I router vesion. My last setup worked in bridge mode and STB were functional but VOD was always very choppy. Seem there are some QoS setting the mi424wrI has configure to improve traffic priority for video.
Any assistance appreciated.
Rich

As STX said. All you need to do is to connect an ethernet cable from a lan port of the Verizon router to the wan port of your own router. Your own router needs to be configured with an address on the 192.168.1 subnet, either dhcp or static, yours is you say at 192.168.1.254 as is mine. Then you should have configured the dhcp side of your router with a subnet other than 192.168.1 which apparently you have done. You do not need static routes or anything else for devices on the 192.168.2 subnet to access the internet, other than valid DNS server addresses - did you set valid dns servers addresses in the static ip internet connection on your router? You could set it to 192.168.1.1 and pick up whatever dns the vz router is using or you could set it dns servers of your choice, personally I set mine to opeDNS server addresses.
What kind of router is the second router?
Your description of your setup sound OK and the only difference I see between your setup and mine is that you say your second router is not NATing

ActionTec M1424-WR Rev F Router USB port

Does anybody know if Verizon ever plans to support the USB port to connect prionters, hard drives, etc?
The Verizon Installer hooked up my printer to this port, then called me from his truck after leaving my house to tell me that it wouldn't work!
Last traffic i saw on this from the verizon forum was related to Rev E firmware in March of 2010 (almost 2 years old) that says that they "don't ever" plan to support it.
Thanks!

I've heard rumors that the latest version of ActionTec's firmware is supposed to add USB Functionality to it. Perhaps when Verizon gets the firmware, they may start pushing it out with USB support. Hopefully it requries nothing more than basic Samba shares. Don't need to install crappy, proprietary software to do file sharing over a network.
But yeah, otherwise for now the ActionTecs just give power via the USB Ports. Nice if you wish to have a light or something in a networking cabnet via a USB LED Light, but that's really it.

The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

Concurrent users on Actiontec MI424WR

I have an Actiontec MI424WR (Rev A) router and I can only get 10 connections to it. I see an option in the Advanced -> System Settings to configure number of concurrent users. It is a drop-down box that only allows a maximum of 10. Am I missing something? I can't believe that I'm being limited to 10 connections.
Thanks in advance, Ron

I think the gentleman was trying to explain an actual problem that I am also having. That is, only 11 concurrent devices can be connected to the router (not the GUI or man-machine interface, the router connections). It is being limited somewhere and whenever I try to connect a 12th device, it either fails, or sometimes knocks something else off and it gets connected.
I am disabled and aside from Netflix Devices, Chromecast, the Samsung Smart TV, my Router Extender, I need several computers so that I don't need roller skates to answer the phones and get information from a computer. It helps me to have several networked. It would help me immensely if I could connect more than 11 devices to my router. This includes both hard and wireless connections - 11 total.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Kind regards,
Paul
P.S. Let me add that you can have probably 254 devices in the device list, but only 11 active and with assigned IP addresses. Maybe a DHCP limitation on number of active devices? I don't have 11 kids playing WOW, I promise. I just need to have the devices sitting there and available to me. I live alone! Thanks!

Actiontec MI424WR revisions -- which will work and why?

I ordered Verizon FiOS tonight, and during the checkout, it told me I needed specifically an Actiontec MI424WR revision I router. The person I chatted with during the order told me only Rev I would work as well. Regardless, will other revisions of the router work? I'm looking on eBay and there are plenty of older revisions that are cheaper. I'm ok with a Wireless G router since I'm only ordering 15/5 anyway. If other revisions will not work, what's so special or new about Rev I?
Thanks!

Swapping Actiontec MI424WR's

I just installed another router after one died, and asked the technical support guy that helped me get another one ordered if I could buy a backup router to plug in so I'm not without the Internet while I wait for a replacement router. He said I could.
I've been looking around and have seen that there are various revisions. I currently have a Rev C, but have seen Rev D & Rev E for sale.
I have two questions:
1) Will the other rev's work OK if I buy one of those?
2) Does Verizon match the MAC address of my unit to my account and allow only that MAC address to connect to their service, or can I plug in any Actiontec MI424WR and it will work?
Solved!

Verizon FIOS router Actiontec MI424WR not working with bonjour printing

Running OS X ver 10.9.3. Have a HPLaserJetP1102w. Just upgraded my Verizon FIOS router to Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I. Now my Mac can no longer find the printer wirelessly (it does, however, work thru USB). I see others have had this problem- and apparently some have solved it by changing settings on the router- but those settings options do not appear under 'advanced' for me. Verizon technical support, including the version one must pay for- was totally and utterly unable to help. Any suggestions for how to rescue this? Was all working perfectly with older Verizon router.

>It's amazing to me that talkting to 4 or 5 Verizon Tech's, they all say "This is new to me, I've never heard of this." Ugh...
I've had EXACTLY the same experience. Phone support and the techs who come to my home apparently have no idea this has been happening for months and months. Clearly, this issue hasn't filtered down from the network engineers to support.
