FIOS routes through Washington DC for West Coast S.F. Servers on Titanfall

after doing trace routes this is what happens... VERIZON PLEASE FIX THIS! I pay for high speed internet mostly for GAMING! and this makes absolutly no sense when it comes to gaming!!
EVERYBODY else having this problem, or will have this problem, please ask them to stop doing this!!!

good luck, it's worse here in florida. It routes from tampa, FL (middle of FL) to miami (south tip of florida), then to atlanta, georgia, then to wherever it needs to go. i never see sub-38ms ping. there are some florida game servers out there (from gameservers.com usually), and i get 90ms to them..

Router and access point connected to FIOS router

Here's my situation. Just installed Verizon Fios which supplies their own Actiontec Wireless router. I have an existing network which comprises a WRTG54Gv6 which was connected to a DSL modem for internet access originally and a WAP54G accesss point as a Repeater to extend the network wirelessly. I have quite a few wired and wireless connection to this netwrok and wish to retain these devices. My question is, based on where I had to connect the new FIOS router(which is where the access point is) can I connect the WAP54 to the FIOS router(through a switch) and allow the combined WAP54/WRT54G network to still provide my network services and deactivate the wireless service from the FIOS router. How do I configure the FIOS router, the WRTG54 and the WAP54(if change neded).
Thanks in advanced if anyone can help.

Easiest way to configure the Verizon FIOS with Linksys is - Leave the Verizon FIOS unplugged from the Linksys Router and disconnect it's power cable.
1. Connect a computer to the Linksys Router it's Internet Port...
2. Access the web interface of the Linksys Router, change it's default address to 10.10.10.1 and leave it's DHCP Server Settings 'Enabled'. Once done you should Power cycle the Linksys Router.Don't change the Router Mode.
3.Connect Verizon FIOS from it's Ethernet Port to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port.
4. See if you can access the Internet...
You can also have a look at this link to connect two routers.However, both the router's used in the link are linksys routers but you can still follow the link.

FIOS not good ISP for gaming in North East, bad routing to canada and west coast.

Yes the same thing has been happening to me. It also appears it was a problem back in january according to this thread....

Here is a past MWO thread started at the same time by a verizon customer. I believe almost all of thise users have quit fios or quit MWO.
http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/91680-higher-ping-times-after-patch/page__st__80
Many people in the game believe its due to MWO patches, but I think thats just a placebo. I believe it is to do with the cold winter months and verizon not being able to handle the load. Speedtests to any west coast, specifically vancouver server, have the same results.
I have called verizon, gone to live chat, spoken to many different supervisors and technicians and have gotten no help with this issue. They basically tell me its not their problem.
After doing many traceroutes and speedtests. It appears I am getting routed through europe to get to canada from NY, which just doesn't make any common sense. First verizon claims the link router sending us to europe is not owned by them. Then we have to prove to them that it in fact is with public business records and WHOIS reports. Which also seemed to be the case for others in that thread back in january.
IT seems the issue in january might of been that particular router was geting overloaded they might have fixed the circuit on that verizon link/border router in question. But now it seems the issue has been passed up the line to the next link router and now that next circuit up the line is getting congested.

Going from 20 ping to 100 depending on time of day, which seems to 24 hours a day now! is a real tease and frustrating, and when there is packet loss or excessive spikes, thats when we lose the connection, session lost messages, black screen issue...etc...
When reading that past thread, The problem server back in january was tinet-gw.customer.alter.net [152.179.72.122] (the one that routes us through europ) but now it seems the burden has been passed up the chain to the next link/border router and circuit internap-gw.ip4.tinet.net [77.67.70.94].
Maybe the guys back in january were able to pressure verizon to increase bandwidth on the tinet circuit on tha verizon router in NY because they actually owned that server, even though they originally tried to lie and claim they didn't. Even if not part of FIOS, and after the 6th hop. Its obvious it was theirs cause it ends with alter.net, was right here in NYC, WHOIS reports gave verizons email, and business records show they bought it in 2006.
Fios doesn't contact DSL, residential doesn't contact business...etc.. Its like this company doesn't remember how 9/11 happened!!!
BUt Now the burden is on the the next link router which routes to internap. And that is a german server and part of tinet.net and is a different company that verizon does not have direct access to. Verizon would not even email the admin for me, which many feel is unprofessional.
You can try emailing that admin yourself or doing some trace routes your self and calling and pressuring verizon to address the issue themselves.
It seems verizon fios can't handle routing people to canada, especially in the cold months of the year. They must not be able to handle their load. It seems verizon fios is really a scam, and fiber optics is just a pretty name, but in reality is no different then any other network, except locally. The only difference we need to look at when buying bandwidth, is pricing period. The fact it is fiber optics means diddly squat! And the more people that get fios, i predict the worse their network is going to get.
I have sent an email to the admin of that german server {edited for privacy} but I would be shocked if I got any reply. Ridiculous for verizon to suggest I do that in the first place.
People with timer warner in the same area are getting constant 20-40 ping to MWO, while verizon fios customers are getting terrible connections right now.

What you are seeing here has nothing at all to do with what your speed is. Latency has nothing to do with speed, it has to do with distance and network congestion. Your local ISP, no matter who it is, can not directly affect how another company (in your case Internap Network Services Corporation) routes data. Now if there was a problem in a link directly connected to your local ISP, for example:
4 94 ms 12 ms 10 ms ae0-0.NY325-BB-RTR2.verizon-gni.net [130.81.209.110]
5 9 ms 15 ms 12 ms 0.so-4-0-1.XT2.NYC4.ALTER.NET [152.63.10.29]
*from your tracert
The above link is leaving Verizon local control and entering Alter.Net control, if there was latency on a regular basis there then this should be reported to Verizon as your local ISP and that will filter up to their NOC group who will contact Alter.net and figure out the issue with that link. If the issue is a faulty link it will get fixed, if the issue is a link undergoing to much traffic its ability to handle the traffic will either be increased where possible or routed around where possible. The whole issue of peer-to-peer networking is very complex (which is what the Supreme Court was reviewing by the way) and a number of issues come into play. If the connection point only experiences high traffic sometimes on a very limited basis then generally routing some traffic to different connections is what is done.
Now in your later postes you show the following:
8 38 ms 39 ms 39 ms xe-8-2-0.tor10.ip4.tinet.net [141.136.107.98]
9 100 ms 104 ms 103 ms internap-gw.ip4.tinet.net [77.67.70.94]
10 97 ms 99 ms 98 ms border1.te7-1-bbnet1.tor001.pnap.net [70.42.24.132]
11 103 ms 103 ms 96 ms relay-1.mwtactics.com [70.42.29.65]
That clearly shows the problem is inside the tinet.net (Internap Network Services Corporation) network. This network is also the network providing the link into this game server. What does this tell us? From what you are seeing it tells us that either Internap does not have enough bandwidth to server the amount of traffic down to this server or the game company has not purchased a high enough link. The latter is unlikely. Most likely the issue is that Verizon's Fios product is growing with more and more people are trying to reach that game from the Fios network. This causes issues at the link point, which Verizon apparently has taken steps to fix as well as those internal links going down to the game servers. Now your local ISP (Verizon) cannot help the latter half of that. One can hope the end user ISP (in your case Internap Network Services Corporation) will increase their internal bandwidth or router traffic around problem areas.

Configuring QoS for FIOS Router MI-424WR: Traffic Priority and Shaping

Please only read on if you are an experienced internet user familiar with setting the advanced QoS and Firewall settings for the MI-424WR and make use of wireless adaptors from a PC to provide connectivity.
This is my first post and my first week since I moved from Time Warner Cable over to FIOS for iNet (plus HDTV and phone).     While all my services work, the router as delivered and setup is not optimum for internet quality of service. Instead it was probably out of the box optimized for HDTV and telephone to satisfy most customers and reduce support overhead.   The average FIOS consumer is multimedia sensitive, but that is not so in my genre of internet consumer.   Here in lies the core of my reason for seeking help from like minded and experienced users in this community.
One of the main driving forces in my switching to FIOS was to improve my multiplayer gaming experience where ultra low ping latency and high upload data rates dramatically affect the quality of connection and thus gameplay.    The cable internet service from TimeWarner was providing solid 2MB/1MB down/up data rates with no issues like what Im having now with FIOS.   Again the reason for the switch was both financial and in hope of gaining better data rates and quality of service.   Now with FIOS Im getting about 24/15 down/up data rate on the Extreme FIOS 25/25 plan when measured from my house to Los Angeles server (50 miles away) via Speedtest.net or DslReports.com/tests.     Latency wise, the ping has gone down from 150 to 50ms when measured to my friends who I connect to online that are on the East coast.   The data rate and latency has greatly improved in going from Cable to FIOS.   So far, so good.
Where the problem shows up now, is that now I get an internet "hiccup" every 5-10 minutes that lasts about 1/2 to 2 seconds.   For the average internet user that just streams multimedia or cruises on the net; this is probably undetectable or noticed.   I never had this problem over the same PCs connected wirelessly to my DLINK DGL-4500 Gaming Router when my ISP was TimeWarner's cable service.    Now, using the FIOS and MI-424WR router with everythings being the same; Im experiencing this degregation in quality of service.    Even putting the PC's IP into the DMZ doesnt make any difference, so it is not related to port forwarding.    The issue is squarely in the lap of FIOS and this router as delivered and configured.    This is where the "game" is a foot, and where I need expertise in an area Im new to.
I am not new to being hands on with inet trouble shooting asI have been setting up my own home network (I work from home over VPN to work) for decades; I would like to leverage the skills of those who are experts in the area that I think can address this issue.   That being QoS and the other device class mechanisms of this router.   Its my guess that this periodic hiccup can be minimized and even eliminated using these advanced features of this all-in-one TV/iNet/Tele router.
With that context being laid down, this hiccup doesnt show up if:
a. I connect two PCs connected to the same ethernet hub of the MI-424WR (traffic just over the LAN and not WAN)
b. When I was on Cable with my own gaming router wirelessly DHCP connected to my PC and using port forwarding or using the DMZ.
The hiccup does exist when:
a.  Going from internet through the MI-424WR to the wireless DHCP connected PC with port forwarding
b. Even putting the wireless DHCP connected PC into the MI-424WR's DMZ has no effect
I did read the manual and tried some QoS pritority and shaping and managed to reduce how often the hiccup occured, but I was just making guesses at the settings.   I put in the IP for the PCs I use for my gaming applications (which are very ping and jitter sensitive) into the QoS priority (value 7) and shaping GUI.    Im hoping someone with experience can tell me exactly how to use it and what settings to input.   Im not clear on the device and connection types offered in the QoS menus.
Another thing, is I couldnt find settings for the turning on/off the ICMP echo.   But I assume this is on because it can be pinged by folks on the net to my WAN IP.
Here is the manual for the Verizon provided M424WR router (Current Version of firmware: 20.10.7)
download link
Here are the QoS traffic priority and shaping values Ive been experimenting with:
Click to view QoS Traffic Priority
Click to view QoS Traffic Shaping
And why it matters to have a solid and stable inet connection for internet gaming? The hiccup causes slewing or jitter which equates to positional errors in the 3D world that ruins the smooth gameplay that is needed for high end gaming.
Heres a snapshot of me flying the wing of another flight simmer who is on the East coast and me on the West coast.

That's not accurate. VZ telephone service does not go through the Actiontec. Also, there are no default settings for QOS in the Actiontec since QOS is rarely needed with FIOS upload speeds.

   You should not be experiencing periodic "hiccups". Something is clearly amiss.

Lets see. The issue shows up on a wireless connection, but not a wired connection. You think this is a QOS issue and not a wireless issue why? Have you tried changing the wireless channel? It very possible you have neighbors on the same channel. Is the DGL-4500 wireless still on? Could that be interfering?TMAS wrote:

The settting to enable/disable ICMP echo is on the Firewall/Remote Administration page.

The traffic proirity settings you linked are applied only to your wireless connections. QOS between the router and your wireless PC will only serve to prioritize traffic between the router and that PC and have no affect on your internet traffic. Assuming you are not running browsers, VOIP and other traffic from that PC while you're gaming, then that will not accomplish anything. i.e. You're giving your only traffic highest priority, but that traffic is not competing with anything (except other nearby wireless connections on the same channel).
On the traffic shaping screenshot, you have broadband ethernet checked, but according to your other thread, your WAN connection is Broadband Coax, not Broadband ethernet.

Connecting Wireless N Router to Existing Fios Router for NAS Access

What I'm Trying To Do:
    I have a 1TB Western Digital MyBook Live as my new NAS for accessing music, photos, video. Accessing this data through the Actiontec MI424WR Wireless 802.11b/g is not the best performance. I want to add in a wireless-N router to the mix but know I have to keep my existing Fios Router in the mix.
    Understanding that the Gigabit part of a wireless-N Gigabit router is for the wired speed increase, do I need to get a gigabit router for when I plug in my NAS, or does that not make a difference.
     Basically, I know that the wireless-N will get me better access wirelessly, but will connecting the NAS via Gigabit give me an extra boost as well?
According to most posts, getting a wireless-N router directly from Fios is near impossible, so bridging a new router to the existing one seems like the best bet.
Thanks for any help anyone has.

I bridged an N router to my MI424WR,which is also an N router and really did not notice a big performance jump,i am satisfied with the MI424WR.even though my linskys N router is more expensive.

I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets. Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router. I currently have a Verizon FiOS router. I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV. However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box. No HD, no DVR. Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand. Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
Not sure what you are asking here. The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area. But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.

HT1692 Set my outlook calender appointment for 7am but when i went to the west coast it changed my appontment to 4am on my i phone 4s

Set my outlook calender appointment east cost time for 7am but when i went to the west coast it changed the appointmnet to 4am

You have Time Zone support turned on. 4 AM on the west coast IS 7 AM where you were. You need to specify the time zone for the appointment if it is different from the one you're in when you create it.

Solution for loss of DHCP with Win7 Home Group issues with FIOS Router

Apparently the FIOS Router (Westell 9100 in my case) doesn't like the IPv6 that Homegroup uses. I lost DHCP service on all three computers that have Win7 installed. I could manually set the IPv4 addresses in the Network Connector options on my computer and every thing worked fine. If I tried to use DHCP for IPv4 I wound up with a private network address (169.xxx.xxx.xxx).
DHCP for IPv4 worked fine adfter I disable IPv6 and the associated topology services. I also removed the HomeGroup option from our network setup.
If you want to use home group be prepared to manually set the IPv4 addresses in your network devices.
Good luck

Interesting, thanks for posting.
Are these Windows 7 PCs that you installed 7 onto yourself, or ones that came with it? I have an HP laptop that came with Windows 7 already installed, no issues at all about IPv6 that I know of. IPv6 is still activated, works just fine on my FiOS Actiontec router, but maybe the Westell is just enough different to be sensitive to that.
Strange.

BEGGING for any help w/ FIOS router problem.

Hi All,
I am a noob at networking and in desperate need of help. I just got FIOS installed for phone, TV, and internet.   I am at my wits end, and the wife wants me to return it all and get cable back. The internet connection they set up is via coax, and I was given the Actiontec modem/router. Since my issue is complex, and I know people will need all the info to help me, I’ll try and break this post down.
My problem: I need to use my Linksys WRT600N wireless router.   All of my laptops have draft n cards, and I also need to connect my (networked) hard drive to it (the Linksys supports a usb connection). I also have many things I need to connect to it. FIOS said I could do this when I called to order, but the techs who arrived said they didn’t know how.
My set up: I have 4 wired electronics, 1 network USB hard drive, Vonage, and several wireless g and n devices that I need to connect to the router so I would really like to keep mine. However I am willing to buy a new item (bridge or access point) if anybody knows one that will definitely work and meet my needs (4 LAN ports, a usb port, and n access). Somebody suggested the “D-Link DAP1522 Xtreme” claiming it won’t have any of the problems I am facing now. If anyone can confirm that please let me know.
What I have done so far: As suggested earlier, I just plugged my router into one of the LAN ports but that didn’t work. So then I tried making the FIOS router a bridge, and that ended up making the TVs not have guide data, or widgets, or VOD (but my router worked). I also followed the directions here… ( DSL REPORTS TOPIC: www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.0_Networking#16077 ) but nothing has allowed me to use my router, and keep the TVs getting the guide, widgets, and VOD. It also resulted in me having to call FIOS b/c even after restoring the router defaults, I couldn’t get back online and they had to “reissue me a new ip”. I don’t know what else to do, or even what I’m doing wrong. I have read so many conflicting posts and would just like step by step “noob-ish” instructions that can solve my problem. (Or if anybody knows something I can buy that will just work when I plug it in).
I have been told FIOS won’t support this and not to bother calling tech support.   I’m extremely mad that they lied to me to get me to agree to the install, then only told me this router info after all my lines have been cut. I am posting my FIOS router info below, along with the Linksys router. If anybody could help me, or send me in the right direction id be forever grateful.
My FIOS info is:
Router: Actiontect
Firmware Version:   4.0.16.1.56.0.10.11.3
Model Name: MI424-WR
Hardware Version:   D
Physical Connection Type:   Coax
Broadband Connection Type:   DHCP
My Linksys Router:Linksys WRT600n info located here: LINSYS ROUTER: www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT600N
Thanks in advance-
Best-

Here is how I would set it up.
Since you already have your linksys router setup the way you want and some of the equipment may have static IP's I would change the ip of the Actiontec.
Your linksys is most likely 192.168.1.1 which is the same as the actiontec. Change the IP of the actiontec to 192.168.2.1. You now have two networks so to speak.
You plug the wan of the Linksys into one of the LAN connections on the actiontec. Your linksys now should get an ip like 192.168.2.2 on the wan side and hand out 192.168.1.x ip's on the LAN side. The linksys doesn't care where it gets its WAN ip from. You will most likley have to reboot any STB's so they get a new IP from the Actiontc.
I had to do such a setup when I was setting up an Xbox for someone who also had a home medical business. They had a firewall that wouldn't let the Xbox connect to the outside world and no one knew how to configure it. I hooked up a linksys wireless router before the firewall and had the xbox connect to that. The new linksys then fed the firewall.
I would also disable the wireless on the actiontec just because it may interfere radio wise with the linksys. Also do not disable DHCP on any of the routers with this setup.

New FIOS router, VIsta Laptop Cannot Access Internet

I too have the new FIOS router with 75/35 speed. I have just been trying to install the router and have been successful in getting wifi connected on two devices (Win 7 laptop and Kindle), but I cannot get my Vista laptop to access the internet. It shows the wifi being connected but no internet connection.
Does this have something to do with the Vista OS?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Anyone at Verizon who is paying attention would realize this problems is many years old with no solution. People are literally begging for help in dozens of online forums, to no avail (Google search usually provides me results faster than any tech support). I have the exact same issue. All my wireless devices connect to the internet through the Verizon MI424WR router with no problem. My Vista laptop connects just fine via Ethernet cable, but not the wireless. I can make a wireless connection to the router, and the router admin page shows it is, in fact, connected, but absolutely NO connection to internet is possible.
BTW, the laptop had no problem for years connecting to the internet via a Linksys WRT54G connected to Verizon DSL.
All that the troubleshooting "guide" provides is the usual basic "plug in, turn off, turn on, reset" nonsense that might help only those who can't stop their VCR clock from blinking.
So please, Verizon, bump this up to a FAQ (because it is VERY frequently asked), and help us find a solution.

How can i use a second router to replace verizon fios router?

Okay so just as the title says how do i use a second router? I got a cisco valet router... I don't know how to use it because the verizon router/modem is wierd i know how to use a router if i only had a modem but fios gives router/modem so how can i use my 2nd router? The current verizon fios router/modem is b/g mode and i wanna change to b/g/n so i can get a better speed from my internet... SO how can i use my 2nd router? I tried this http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.0_Networking#12506 but i don't get it can someone guide me better or make a video explaination on how to use a 2nd router? I have it connected with see as in pic i connect from my router Internet port to wan port and the ethernet lan port to the ethernet lan port on verizon fios and no work please help...

OK, so with this, we have a few options. You appear to have a MoCa connection to the ONT, hence the coaxial cable being present.
1: The ActionTec can be bridged to the Valet router. This will not require any additional cabling, however it will require a small amount of work to have working. You will also require the ActionTec still in the mix, even though it will not be acting as a router anymore with this configuration.
Visit http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077 and look at Option 4. There is a thread linked that will allow you to set up the ActionTec as just a MoCa bridge, and will pass the Public IP to your router. You will, in order for this to work once the ActionTec is bridged, need to connect the cable from your Valet router's Internet port, to the ActionTec's LAN port and nothing else goes to the ActionTec. From this point, your Valet should run as your primary and everything should connect through your Valet. If you are adding another router, a Netgear N300, you should perform the LAN to LAN setup, which we will talk about once you've got the Valet working correctly. LAN to LAN configs require a custom setup, so do not set up the Netgear for now.
2: This is my preferred method, which would be to run an Ethernet cable to the ONT. Option 6 in the FAQ. This will require spaking to Verizon to have them move your ONT to Ethernet, but once they do this, you can disconnect the Coaxial Cable from your ActionTec router, and plug in your CAT5/CAT6 cable from the ONT to the ActionTec's Internet/WAN port. Use the ActionTec to ensure everything is working after the switchover, and once off the phone, log into the ActionTec, perform a DHCP Release, and then prompty power off the ActionTec. Once this is done, plug the CAT6 cable into your Valet router's Internet port. You should from this point, be able to connect to the Cisco, and if the DHCP Lease was broken successfully, the Cisco should begin serving up your Internet connection. If it does not, leave the Cisco powered off for a few hours to break the DHCP lease, and then power it up. If the Valet does not work, still, give the Valet a factory reset and set up this router again, with the Ethernet cable from the ONT connected to it.
I would just take a good luck at the FAQ linked above again, and see what would work the best. Easiest thing to do is to get the ONT moved to Ethernet, which allows you to eliminate the ActionTec unless you need it in the future for TV service, and also allows you to use any router with ease.
Once the Valet is up and running and holds your Public IP address from Verizon (use http://whatismyip.com/ to determine this) , and also serves up IPs to devices on your network, post back and we can help you set up the Netgear. If you have any issues while setting this up, fall back to the ActionTec. It's factory reset will work without configuration needed, regardless of you being on Coax or Ethernet.

Router in front of Fios Router

I would like to put a router in front of the Fios router (to take advantage of 1000mb capability) Does anyone have procedure on how to do this? Verizon--> Cisco Router --> Fios Router --> TV

It works fine here. But you will not be able to use some of the FIOS TV features, such as remote access to the DVR. You will need the Ethernet IP port enabled on the ONT.
I have my Actiontec used as a bridge only for MOCA to the STBs and for wireless. I have set my Actiontec with DHCP off and an address that does not conflict with my Router. Connected LAN to LAN between my router and Actionetc. My router is a Linux Box running IP-Cop Linux. OLD PC with 512meg memory, 80gig drive, and two network ports. Works great.
You can connect Wan on the Actiontec to LAN on your router, but then you have two networks that will not allow your router to talk to wireless items or the STB.
There are many ways to do this. But remember these items.
1. DO NOT look for Verizon to support this.
2. You must have Ethernet turned on at the ONT with an Ethernet cable to your router.
3. If switching routers around. Make the Actiontec work with Ethernet WAN port first! Test and retest everything.
4. If you are in and area that issues IPs to your router through DHCP, great. If your area uses PPPOE then password and user name is verizonfios.
5. Your STBs must still have access to the internet through the coax. NIM-100 or Actiontec.
6. Always be ready to put the Actiontec back to the Default configuration and connections if calling for support.

FIOS Router & Cable

I'm on the FIOS 35/35 internet plan. I have been using WIFI on my
laptop but I am going to add a new desktop using a hardwire. I need
a 25' cable to do this so is CAT5E OK or should I use something else.
Where do I find what Version my FIOS router is.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

An ethernet cable from Category 5 through Category 6 is fine. The router does not care what category the cable is as long as its an ethernet cable. Without getting into any great detail most places will sell you a Cat 5E cable which will work for your application.

Verizon Fios Router

My Internet connection is wireless to a Verizon Fios router. The router has 4 LAN connections and 1 WAN connection. The WAN connection is used for some purpose (I think it may have something to do with TV on demand). Can I connect my Time Capsule to this router through its LAN connection, and if so, what port should I use on the time capsule side? I can't seem to get an Internet connection to work from the time capsule.

You would connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the Fios router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule.
The key setting in this configuration is to put the Time Capsule in bridge mode. With AirPort Utility - Manual Setup, click the Internet icon. Look for Connection Sharing at the bottom of the page. This must be set to "Off (Bridge Mode)".
