FIOS Actiontec M1424MR Version F Router

I have a RJ45 5E cable running from this router to my desktop and it works fine.
I would like to know if I take the current input desktop cable and wire it to the input another " N "
router and use 1 of these ports to wire to my desktop will it work. The other router would be
used as a bridge between the laptop and VZ router
Thanks

Yes...that should work.
For the simplest setup, disable the DHCP feature on the second router and connect the Cat 5 from the Actiontec to a LAN port on the second unit. Then connect another LAN port on the new unit to your PC.
You didn't mention what you want to do with wifi. You can turn off the wifi on the Actiontec and just use the new router as a WAP, or turn off the wifi on the new router, or run both of them.
If you want to run both of them come back for additional suggestions of configuring SSIDs, channels, etc.
edit: I have a simliar configuration. I suggest you assign your second router a static IP address, something like 192.168.1.10. You'd do that in the new router's setup. You should also configure the Actiontec's DHCP range to avoid where you have the static IP set. I have my Actiontec DHCP range set to 192.168.x.100-150.
Having the second router on a static IP will allow you to easily manage it from anywhere on your LAN.

What ports need to be open in a version fios Actiontec MI424WR router to share Mac files os 10.7os

I need to share Mac Lion files over the internet through a Verizon FIOS Actiontec MI424WR router. I don't know which ports need to be open.

Configuring E3000 to work with Verizon FIOS actiontec cable modem / router

Hi all, I've read knowledgebase Article ID: 3733, which seems to get me on the right track, but the router menu screens shown do not match the E3000's screens.
I have a FIOS cable modem / router in the basement that I need to keep since it drives all the FIOS guide and on demand features. I have a NAS drive in the basement and all the house hard wiring runs to the basement as well.
I wanted wireless n and a better location for the wireless access point, so I bought the E3000 and put it in the kitchen on the main floor
When I wired a numbered LAN port on the E3000 to a numbered LAN port on the ActionTec and brought the router up all worked fine, but quickly found that wireless clients could not see the NAS. I suspect that this is because the E3000 uses a different address range(192.168.0.1) than the actiontec (http://192.168.1.1/). I ended up moving the NAS upstairs to temporarily fix this, but my wife would like me to get it out of her kitchen ASAP :-)
I tried just about every setting imaginable (setting IP of E3000 actiontec range, disabling NAT, disabling DHCP, enabling/disabling RIP) to get the E3000 to simply become a wireless gateway and wired switch and let the actiontec do the routing but never could get it to work.
Could someone post a version of Article ID: 3733 that works for the E3000???

Go to Solution.

Press and hold the reset button on E3000 router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle E3000 router.
Now connect one computer to Ethernet port 2 on the router ( Do not connect the cable between modem and E3000 )
open the setup page of E3000. Change the wireless settings of E3000 router.
Go to Setup tab and change the IP address of E3000 router to 192.168.1.2.
Disable DHCP server on the router and save the settings.
Do NOT change any other settings ( NAT firewall ).
Connect the cable from modem to the Ethernet port 1 on E3000 router. power cycle the router.
Now try to access the Internet through E3000 router.

FIOS Actiontec Router "Range" Question

I was one of the first FIOS internet customers in LA.
Will replacing my Actiontec M1424WR (rev A) Router to a newer (rev E) or( rev F) of the same router model increase my WIFI range?
Thanks

Probably only if the new router has wireless wireles-N capabilities. Very doubtful that VZ will do that for you. You'd be better off purchasing your own router, not actiontec, and connecting it to the VZ router.
Thanks, but won't adding (daisy-chaining) a second router (wireless N) cause IP address issues? And . . . can you recommend a good wireless N router/

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2. Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

Setting up New Airport Extreme with Verizon Fios Actiontec MI-424-WR Modem

I just purchased the new Airport Extreme to run my network at home. My internet provider is Verizon Fios. With their installs, they use an Actiontec MI424WR modem/router. I would like to disable the router part of the Actiontec and use the AEBS for my router. Any advice on how to accomplish this? Thanks.

ufbrad24, Welcome to the discussion area!
FiOS does not require a modem. The Actiontec device is a router only.
You could replace the Actiontec completely with the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). Many have discovered that this can be done by a quick call to Verizon.

Fios ActionTec

Ok, so I looked around before posting this regarding my crappy actiontec router and the airport extreme base station (AEBS). I have followed the instructions of placing the AEBS in bridge mode and allowing the actiontec router to take care of the ip's etc. My only issue is of course speed. When using my old cheap router, a linksys WRT54G, I would see speeds around 15-16mbs. With the AEBS on the other hand, I am only seeing about 5-6mbs. I have checked channels of local networks, and placed the AEBS in channel 11 as it is the furthest from other networks. (Most of them are on channel 6) I think the problem lies in the actiontec being the one in charge of distributing IP's. That is the only difference I can see. Is there a way to have the AEBS distribute IP's and have the actiontec play dumb again? Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone have any experience with fios, actiontec, and an AEBS? Thanks for all the help in advance.

Login to your router. Then, click here:
http://192.168.1.1/index.cgi?active_page=6059&req_mode=0&mimic_button_field=goto%3a+6059..&strip_pag...
Then, set "IGMP Proxy" to disabled.
Yes, this is a hidden page on the latest firmware.
Enjoy!

FiOS, Actiontec, MBP, and 10.5.5 wireless problems

I've posted a couple of threads, prior to realizing that the problem I'm having is likely an interaction between my MBP and the FiOS actiontec blocking NAT. Anyone else having wireless problems with FiOS on an MBP?

There are over 23000 compatible Mac hardware and software titles on http://guide.apple.com/ Even if there were only 64 compatible Mac and hardware titles, that would take longer than the age of the universe to test every possible combination of software and hardware, based on a single test every second with 64 factorial equaling greater than the age of the universe in seconds. Somewhere even old items are going to drop off in terms of compatibility. That's why there are specs. That's why Apple sets developer guidelines at http://developer.apple.com/
Your $1000 router, is probably only worth $10 today, if it doesn't meet today's current standards. Apple makes an effort to follow the standards of present day. If you spent $1000 on your router, I sure hope the company that makes it has a good support system. If it doesn't, it sounds like you made an unwise purchase then, and should sell it and get a better router. Apple's Airport Extreme base stations are only $179. You can setup a wireless distribution system with them, and Airport Express base stations which are only $99 that probably will cover just as many machines as your $1000 router.

Linksys WRT54GS Version 6 router help

Hi all! I have a Linksys WRT54GS Version 6 router with Firmware Version: v1.50.6 and I was wondering if anyone could help me find a free log viewer, since the log viewer that comes with the router just gives the last few sites outgoing and incoming, and it doesn't time it either. Anything that will work with my router that will record all day info as well as put the time? I'd also like it (if possible) if it could identify which websites those IP's belong to; sometimes I will put an IP in the address bar and nothing happens or I get an error.
Also, I can't seem to be able to telnet into my router. I put the right IP 192.168.1.1 8080 which is the port that shows under Administration/Management "management port:" 8080. When I telnet (I'm using vista and I installed the telnet client and server) it says connecting and then just sits there for a long time and then asks me to push any key and says connection timed out. I also tried with port 80 and 23, nothing.
Thanks!

*BUMP*
I gathered from what I read on the 'net that this particular router pretty much sucks in terms of putting 3rd party firmware, of telnetting into it, etc. So, is it basically true that there is no way to telnet into this? Also, no one knows of any monitoring or log viewer that works with this version?? Please?

Difference between production version and routing

hello pp experts,
                        why do we create production version, and what's the difference between production version and routing?

Dear sarfaraz lodhi ,
Production version is a combination of BOM & Routing in the case of Discrete Manufacturing and it's a
combination of BOM & Rotuing/Rate Routing in the case of Repetitive Manufacturing.
Created either through MM02 by selecting MRP4 view or else through C223
A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material.
It defines the following information:
·        Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
·        Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
·        Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
Routing contains the set of operation that's required for producing a product either a HALB - Semi-
Finished product or else a FERT - Finished Product.
The T code for creating Routing is CA01.
Regards

Weak Wi-fi signal from Actiontec GT704WG B modem/router - need help troubleshooting!

I have been using a Verizon-provided Actiontec GT704WG B modem/router for a few years as my Verizon DSL connection. I connect my main computer to the GT704WG B via one of the Ethernet ports - no problem with this. I also have a laptop that (usually) makes a wi-fi connection to the GT704WG B. However, the wi-fi connection frequently slows down enourmously or dies entirely, at random times. The laptop is located downstairs from the modem/router, which is about the farthest physical location in ther house from the GT704WG B.
This may be a distance problem that might be solved by bringing the modem physically closer to the laptop, but I'm puzzled why the problem is intermittent. It's also possible that there is something wrong with the GT704WG B, that is causing it to transmit a weak signal.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting this problem appreciated.
I'd also like to know if anyone can suggest a router or range extender that might relay a stronger signal downstairs. Or should I try getting a more current modem/router from Verizon? That GT704WG B is a bit old...

You're welcome. I suspect there may be some confusion on which is which going on here. Repeaters and Access Points are two different things. Repeaters are single radio devices in most cases where the repeater takes the signal it is receiving from your router, and then re-broadcasts it. When this is done, half of the radio bandwidth goes towards receiving or sending data to and from your router. The other half of the radio bandwidth is spent transmitting to or receiving data from your devices that are connected to the repeater. It's similar to the game of Telephone. A direct connection to the network is faster, but if you must repeat the message over a medium you introduce delay. So, in more technical terms, a Wireless connection that operates at 20Mbps download or upload (Wireless is half duplex by nature) will operate at 10Mbps download or upload when attached to a repeater, since 10Mbps of the 20Mbps the repeater's radio can do is being used to transmit the message to one end.
In some additional terms since this part of my post got chopped off, what an Access Point is would be essentially another wireless radio with a direct, wired connection to your network. It can be thought of as an Expressway. Each device chooses the best wireless signal to use in your network (Router or Wireless Access Point) and then has a connection directly into the network. Both radios can run at 20Mbps and a single device will be able to get 20Mbps from either unit. These require more work but in heavy wireless usage environments, it makes sense to use access points.

Thanks for the advice re. changing the channel. I'll try that. Since there seem to be about a dozen networks around here that mayne causing interference, that might help.
Verizon tech support advised me that an access point would cut my bandwidth, but that a range extender would not. (????) I have installed a range extender but I'm not sure it has made any difference. The problem has not happened since I did that, but since it is intermittent, I don't think that proves that the problem is solved. AFAICS, the wireless speed has not changed in any significant way.

Airport Express and Fios Actiontec router compatible?

I have multiple Airport Expresses and an Airport Extreme. Verion FIOS supplied it own Actiontec router which hooks into their Optical Network Terminal. Since the Actiontec router took over, I've removed the Airport Extreme and the Airport Expresses work only to receive iTunes music from my computers. The Expresses do not extend the WiFi signal anymore. The Actontec router is powerful but at the far end of the house, I no longer get a WiFi signal. Previously with my Extreme and Expresses, I could extend the signal wherever I needed it.
I wonder if I can plug my Extreme into a hardwired LAN terminal from the router and use it to create its own WiFi network in the areas of the house where there is no signal?

Yes, this is possible if the AirPort Extreme stays permanently connected using an Ethernet cable.
If you want to create one "big" network, use the same wireless network name and password on the AirPort Extreme that you use on the Actiontec router. Setup the AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network". The Extreme must be in Bridge Mode to do this.
If you configure the AirPort Extreme with a different wireless network name, then you will need to log on to that network separately each time that you move your computer close to the AirPort Extreme.....then log back on again to the Actiontec when the computer moves back near that router.
If the AirPort Express devices are located where they can receive a good wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme....and you need even more wireless coverage.....,the Expresses could be reconfigured to "extend" the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme like you were doing before.

Connecting linksys to fios actiontec router

About six months ago my family got verizon FiOS. They came in and set up everything and even took the liberty to remove the linksys router I had before. Well, their Actiontec router doesnt really satisfy me as well as my linksys router did before and I would like to use my linksys router instead. Unfortunately, I am not tech savvy and was hoping someone here could help me.
I tried to connect my linksys directly to the actiontec one through an ethernet cable but that did not yield any results. I have also looked on other forums but to no avail - mainly because the explanations given are way above my head and involve words like coax and throwing around abbreviations for things which I do not understand.
If someone who has maybe had a similar predicament to mine or is just knowledgable to this sort of thing could give me a ste by step explanation, it would be greatly appreciated!
please remember I am not very savvy in the technology area, so please dumb it down.
Thanks in advance!

Hi... 1st plug a PC directly to the Linksys router alone. Then on this particular PC... open up internet explorer (it's ok if it says "page could not be displayed")... and type on the address bar just the following numbers: 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin)...
This process should bring you to a Linksys page... look for something labeled as the "Local IP Address" or the LAN IP Address... if the value is 192.168.1.1.. change this to 192.168.5.1... then save the settings... (page would not be displayed after this.. again that's ok).....
Then go to the DOS prompt (start---run---type in cmd) .... and type the command ipconfig/release (hit enter)... and then ipconfig/renew (hit enter).....
Next connect the Actiontech router to the internet/WAN port of the Linksys router. Then do a powercycle. That is turn off all of the devices... router - modem and PC's.. then turn them on in the order of modem--routers-and PC's.......
After this process, you should now hopefully be online on the PC connected to the Linksys router.......

How can I get my Cisco wireless router to wirelessly connect to my Verizon Fios Actiontec router?

I have Verizon Fios for internet, tv and phone. The Verizon Actiontec router is connected with a ethernet cable into my desktop and the internet is up and running. Now I bought a Cisco Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router, and I wanted to connect it to another desktop two floors up. I set up the Cisco router according to the instructions, but I'm not able to connect to the internet. It shows that my computer was able to get a Local Network connection, but internet connection keeps failing.... I tried changing the IP address. But I'm confused about the whole thing. Is the Default gateway number suppose to be the same for both routers? Is it possible that the Actiontec router isnt giving off a strong enough wireless signal? I'm open for suggestions! Thanks

Mac or Windows machine?
Is the WRT connected directly to the upstairs computer? I don't think you can use the WRT that way?
Have you had a look here?:http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/General-Linksys-Router-FAQs/td-p/4286
I THINK you would have to have a WETxx (Ethernet Adapter) instead?
If it connects to the Internet even breifly then I suppose that means your connected but it may be losing the signal and failng. You would porbably have ot get a WAP(Access Point) and use it as a repeater.
I'm a bit rusty on the names so I hope i got them right, hope it helps.....
