FIOS Internet connection reset on the verizon side

I am a new subscriber of the FIOS internet after having Comcast for years.  I like the service speed, etc.. but I have one nagging issue that I can't seem to get any help with.
I have the ethernet from the ONT plugged directly into my firewall (same one I used for years with comcast) and every 1 hour 55 minutes and 3 seconds it immediately drops the connection and then restarts it.  This is a problem as there are many times I am in the middle of a vpn session and once it kills my connection I lose what I was doing, etc.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Here is a snippet of my FW log showing the drops:
This is repeated every 1:55:03 in my logs.....
Primary Cable Modem connection terminated after 1 hour(s), 55 minute(s), 3 second(s).
Primary Cable Modem connection established, IP address XX.XX.XX.XX assigned.

Wondering if it has to do something with renewing the lease?  Getting a new ip addy each time?
Perhaps the firewall you have the internet running through isn't working well with the renewing of your lease -- seems like it since it appears it happens on set intervals.  Maybe there is something you could modify in the firewall settings?

  • How do I change the room that my FiOS Internet connection is wired to?

    My FiOS Internet connection was placed in my office but I am now renovating and need to remove my computer ( wired ) as well as router to another room during the renovation .
    I have coax outlets in 4 other places throughout the house but they were not wired to get the FiOS signal.
    I called and was told that if I am able I can connect one of those to the FiOS splitter or I can get verizon to come out to do it for me ( but I don't want to spend the money , particularly since this is temporary )
    Can anyone tell me how to do this?
    I checked out the wiring and can see that the Box in my basement is connected to a splitter with 6 other plugs of which 2 are used.
    Then there is another splitter attached to the wire that is coming in to the basement from outside. That is a splitter with 4 plugs..
    Any ideas? I can attach a picuture of the splitters if anyone is willing to take a look. ( tho I'm not sure if this post will take images since I dont' see an ' attachment link '
    Thank you!
    Susan

    The four plug splitter I assume is from a previous Cable company installation. If by "Box" you mean the ONT Verizon installed when you had FiOS put in, just connect a Coaxial cable coming from a desired room to the splitter the ONT is connected to and move the router over. Things should connect right up.

  • Fios Internet connection is very bad! Please help!

    Hello,
    I play an online game called Final Fantasy XIV.  I use a program called WTFast in order to have a solid gaming experience, one without or very little lag or disconnects.
    Recently, within the last 3-4months, I have noticed I get EXTREME lag and DISCONNECTS.  I contacted WTFast with a tracert that they analyzed, and here is their response:
    "Your internet connection is very bad. There is a "plateau" spike. This will cause WTFast to spike as well, and for such a long "spike" it is not surprising that the connection was dropped.
    The previous report showed a very unstable internet connection as well (the one where you got a 30 second freeze).
    Present the same reports you sent to us to your ISP (Verizon FIOS) and ask them to try to make their connection better. The report will help them see the quality of the current connection."
    Here is the information in the more readable form (except for the last four as I figured you would probably get the idea by then). Yes, 4 shows 100% packet loss, so the connection dropped then. Also, in 5 the standard deviation is high (16.35 ms) which indicates a huge fluctuation in the signal. The flux column also shows large numbers, which indicates a large variance in the signal speed. Finally, there are a lot of hops just within the ISP, ie rows 2-8, and all this data is for the ISP itself, not the WTFast connection. In fact, that connection is the last one, and there you can see good numbers. Hope this helps.

    I did a tracert from my computer to sites like MSN.com; Verizon.com etc, and EVERY SINGLE 4 shows a 100% loss.  I did the same tracert from my computer at work that uses a different IP provider, and those same sites show a response from 4.  
    Can anyone help me out with this please!  Thank you for reading!

  • FIOS internet connection drops 20x daily

    I was an original FIOS customer 5 years ago and had no problems with the internet connection at that time.  However, since returning to FIOS in May 2012, the WIFI connection consistently drops 20x or more a day for no reason.  It will reconnect itself but it takes 5-6 tries.  All equipment is EXACTLY where it was 5 years ago when there were no problems.  This is extremely frustrating, especially when I'm working.  Every time I call customer service, the wait/hold time is over 45 minutes - same as with talking with support on-line.  Can anyone help with this problem? 
    FYI - the connection is never lost on the desktop computer - just the laptop on WIFI.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hopefully you mean you have a rev I (letterr i) router.  This is the lastest model and supports gig e wired and wireless-n (2.4 only).
    You should consider WPA2 unless not all your devices support it.  Basic instructions on changing security are here http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/security/125521....
    To logon to your router http://192.168.1.1 .  You will be asked for the routers id and password.  If you didn't change anything the router's id is 'admin' and the password is printed on the sticker on the router.  For the most recent routers its listed seperately, while older routers use the serial number of the router (in caps for serial number).
    The channel is listed and changed under wireless settings, basic security settings.  You may want to try changing channel to avoid other traffic.  Some people suggest trying 1, 6, and 11 in that order.

  • Is there any way to schedule an Internet connection reset?

    Hello.
    I live in a three-story house and have a Wi-Fi network set up using a Time Capsule and a couple of AirPort Express units. The Time Capsule, which is connected to the modem and is the initiator of the network, is on the second floor and there’s an AirPort Express each on both the first and third floors.
    In India, we do not have the luxury of high speed unlimited access to the Internet. We can either opt for a 2Mbps connection (yeah, +scorching fast+, I know) that is capped at 2.5GB and allows unlimited access between 02:00 AM and 08:00 AM each day, or a 512Kbps unlimited connection.
    Right now, I’m subscribed to the latter, but I made the mistake of traveling to the USA recently and, after having gotten used to the 16Mbps speeds for a month, I just cannot tolerate the incredibly slow speeds anymore.
    Therefore, I’m thinking of switching to the 2Mbps connection. Since I download a lot of stuff though, I need to find a way to have the Internet connection automatically disconnect and reconnect at 02:00 AM and then get disconnected at 08:00 AM. Is there any way to get this done?
    Putting my Mac to sleep and have it automatically wake up at 02:00 AM won’t work because the Internet connection will still remain connected on the Time Capsule and I will still get charged for the nighttime downloading. Is there any way to have my Time Capsule do the job for me—some Automator script or something, perhaps?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    How would that help though? I need the Internet connection to be reset, so that a new session starts after 02:00 AM, which will then be counted among the happy hours and won’t be chargeable. Restricted my Mac from accessing the wireless network is not the solution here.
    Thanks for trying to come up with a solution though. Do let me know if you think of any other alternative.

    Is there any way to do this in windows not Linux.
    Thanks and looking for you response, quick response will be highly appreciate.

  • ASA 5505 - 2 Internet Connections, Problems with the Default Route

    Hey there,
    i have a Problem at a Customer Site at the moment. The customer uses an ASA 5505 with two internet connections attached to it. On the first connection (which is the only one in use at the moment) he has some Static-PAT's from Outside to Inside where he translates different services to the internal servers. He also has a site-2-site VPN terminating there and AnyConnect.
    He now wants to switch the Internet Traffic from Inside to the new Internet Connection. Therefore changing the default route to that new ISPs Gateway. The problem now is, that no traffic recieved on the old "outside" Interface is transmitted back out of that old "outside" Interface. And this happens although the "same-security permit intra-interface" command is set.
    Can you tell me what's wrong here? For every Static-PAT from outside to inside there is also a dynamic PAT from inside to outside. But the ASA seems to ignore this. I have not looked into the Logs yet, was too busy finding the problem because i had no real time window to test on the productive ASA.
    Can it be achieved in any way? Having a default route on the ASA which leads any traffic to the second internet connection while still having connections on the first internet connection where no explicit route can be set? Because connections arrive from random IPs?
    Many thanks for your help in advance!

    Phillip, indeed , I have as well read may comments,it all depends on your environment as they all differ from one another, you best bet is to have a good solid plan for upgrade and fall back. You do have a justification to upgrade for features needed, so I would suggest the following:
    1- Do a search again in forum for ASA code upgrades and look at comments from users that have gone through this process and note their impact in fuctionality if any. I believe this is good resource to collect information .
    2- Very important , look into release notes for a particular version. For example version 8.0, look into open CAVEATS usually at the end of the link page, reading the open bugs gives you clues what has not yet been resolved for that particular code and if in fact could impact you in your environment, it is possible that a particular bug does not realy apply to your environment becuase you have yet not implemented that particualr configuration. Usually we all try to aim towards a GD (General Deployment) code which is what we all understand is most stable but not necesarily means you have to be stack in that code waiting for another GD release, in my personal experience I have upgraded our firewall from 7.2 to 8.0(3) long ago and had no issues, and recently upgraded to 8.0(4)when it was first release in August this year.
    Release notes
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/prod_release_notes_list.html
    3- AS a good practice precaution -
    a-Backup firewall configs in clear text as well as via tftp code.
    b-Backup running code and ASDM version code currently running in firewall.
    c- Save the output of " show version " to have as reference for all the feature licenses you currently have running as asll as activation keys - good info to have to compare with after upgrade.
    d- Ensure that the code you will be using to upgrade also uses correct ASDM version code.
    I think with thorough assesment and preparation you can indeed minimize impact.

  • My iMac drops the internet connection but mantains the wi-fi network.

    I have a late 2011, 2.7GHz Intel Core i5, 27" iMac with 4GB Ram. When I power up the computer everything goes great, but after 3 or 4 hours (top) the internet connection stops working; and by this I DO NOT MEAN that the network utility turns off, or that it doesn't detect any netwoks. On the contrary,  the computer stays connected to the wi-fi network and detects everything, but it simply has no internet connection; it even stops communicating with my iphone through itunes (with the wi-fi sync option), and crashes LAN games when i try to play at home. When this occured for the first times I just turned off and back on the network utility, but the problem continued and I had to keep turning off and on the network (it wouldn't stay connected for more than 5 minutes). I  checked with my laptop (the last alluminum macbook ever available, as well as with my mom's black macbook) when the internet stopped working in the iMac (just to check that there were no issues regarding my ISP) and the internet connection just worked great in it, and it didn't drop at all! It also worked perfectly with my dad's windows XP dinosaur laptop.
    At the beggining I thought my wi-fi router had gone bad, so I changed it for a brand new wireless-n ready router (it turned out that i wasted 180 dollars, because this wasn't the issue, and I had already trashed my old router). At first, I used the wireless-n feature, but other gadgets stopped working with this type (a play station 3 and a nintendo wii). I then configured it with a mixed mode, and everything has worked perfectly (including both macbooks, an ipad 2, an iphone 4s, 4 blackberries, a play station 3, a nintendo wii, 2 network printers, 1 network scanner, a 3TB network hard disk and 3 led tvs that come network ready, along with their respectives network ready surround soundbars).... EXCEPT FOR MY IMAC! So DEFINETELY MY ROUTER IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
    I've been an avid apple user for almost 10 years now, and this is the first time I encounter this type of problem (it's my first iMac), so I'm pretty much out of logical options. I've already moved my router closer to the computer, I moved my wi-fi connection to the top of the list in the network utility.
    I even had to re-write this whole message again because i clicked on "Post message" and it had no internet connection, so it displayed a no-internet alert in my browser.............
    PLEASE! HELP!!!!
    PS: all my apple gadgets are always up to date.

    I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
    New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
    Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
    When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi  issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
    So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
    *PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

  • WRT54G Router - Internet connection issues using the Ipod touch

    Ok, first - here is my setup. I've got the router hooked into the modem, with the desktop computer hooked directly into the router.  I've got my laptop running off wireless internet, and I've got an ethernet cable connecting through my laptop to an xbox for xbox live connection.  I recently just got an iPod touch, and I've come to realize that whenever I'm on the iPod, it messes with the internet on the desktop computer and on the xbox, but not the laptop really.. it makes the internet really slow, or sometimes it doesn't work at all, especially on the xbox.  Is there anything I can change to make these all work at the same time?  Or is this too many connections or what? Please help. thanx.
    (running windows vista home premium, WRT54G router, pretty much beginner status, though I can follow directions easily : ] )
    Also, the internet always works on the ipod, it seems as though the ipod is 'taking over' the internet.. it doesn't lose it while in the area, yet the other computers and xbox does at times.. 
    Message Edited by jmaxey0122 on 12-16-2009 05:27 AM

    You might be facing the problem, because the Ipod and your Desktop computer must be having the same IP address thats the reason whenever your IPod is connected to your Network, your Desktop must be getting disconnected. Check the IP address of your IPOD and of your Desktop Computer.
    First thing which you need to check, if the Physical connections are done properly. Connect the Modem to the Internet Port of the Linksys Router and then Connect the computer to the LAN Port No.1. On your Desktop computer login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Status tab and check "Internet IP address" 
    If required you can Re-Set your Router and Re-configure all the settings on your Router from the scratch. 

  • I have tethered my ipnoe 4 to my pc. i no longer have any other internet connection, just through the iphones 3g. do i still need to update my pc internet security, antivirus, firewall ect.? (there are no other computers/devices connected to my computer)

    I have tethered my iphone 4 to my pc. Do i still have to update my pc security, antivirus, firewall ect.? the phone has not been jail broken and it is the only device or means of internet connection, connected to my pc.

    iT is good practice to keep all your security software up to date, remember your phone is just a source to access the internet, the vulnerability reside in your computer not on your phone.
    Only if the phone had a very good firewall blocking access to your computer, but a think thats no the case
