FTP setup with Actiontec MI424WR router

I've been banging my head against the wall for a few hours now.
I have a FTP server/device on my network (which I can access just fine internally). However, I'm not able to access it from outside my network.
I've forwarded ports 20 & 21 (TCP/UDP) to the device. It prompts me for my credentials (and will re-prompt me if I type an incorrect username/password), but once I enter valid credentials it gives me error messages (IE says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage").
I also have disabled the firewall software on my computer, and set the firewall on the router to "Low", which supposed allows all inbound/outbound traffic.
But it looks like inbound gets there, it's just a problem w/ the outbound (since it gets to the FTP server's authentication process).
Any ideas?

Probably because it's in passive (PASV) mode and using a random port.
You'd be better off to use something like Filezilla server that allows you more control of the ports that are in use. You could then define a range of ports to be used in passive mode and forward them too. Better still would be to use a Secure Ftp server
I'd also suggest that you don't use the standard FTP ports of 20/21 as you'll find your bandwith width being chewed up by the streams of hackers attempting to break into your server.

Problems with FIOS with ActionTec MI424WR

I have had FIOS for a couple of months and am having major problems with the internet and the actiontec MI424WR Router:
   I cannot get port forwarding to work. I have setup several previous routers to do port forwarding to my Windows web server, never had a problem. Nothing I try on the Actiontec works, all incoming requests are rejected. Checked Dns, server, everything.
   Wireless works well at first, then slowlly degrades until after a week or so the signal is so weak that wifi traffic slows to a crawl. Turning off the router and turning it back on fixes this problem.
   Wired Ethernet traffic becomes flaky. browsing works for a while, then gets flaky, IE and chrome both report that they can't reach web sites, but other apps can still get to internet. closing browser does not fix issue, rebooting machine does.
This is the most problematic router I have ever seen.
Is there a different brand of router from one of the more respected router compnaies, like Dlink, linksys, or netgear?

Port forwarding is a little odd the way it's setup. Took me a couple of days to work it and then it was only by looking at one of the canned protocolsand then emulating it for what I wanted that I made it work.
For example, if you go into port forwarding and select New Entry and under Protocol select FTP it will display the canned setting for port forwarding to an internal FTP server, all you need to do is add the internal IP address of the local host that has the server. The confusing thing is that what you see for FTP is TCPany -> 21 whereas I expected it to be TCP21 -> 21. Means that when you set up your forwarding you typically would be selecting protocol User defined and under that protocol TCP (or whichever you want) the leave source port at ANY and change destination port to Single or Range and enter the value. Then save it
Your other questions appear to say that your router maybe not working correctly.

Windows 7 64 bit has problems with Actiontec MI424WR while wired with wireless radio off

I have discovered an issue with Windows 7 64 bit OS. My attempted set up was to havea 802.11n Belkin Play router connected to my Actiontec MI424WR router as a wireless access point with the MI424WR wireless radio turned off. This worked fine for my XP 32 bit PC, my Windows 7 32 bit PC, and my 2 Windows 7 64 bit laptops using wireless. A problem arose when I tried wired connections on the Windows 7 64 bit laptops and a Windows 7 64 bit PC.
While wired, internet would drop either completely or intermittently but too frequently to be useful. Tech support had no idea what to do or what caused it. It was reproducible after a reset of the router and then turning off the wireless radio.
I could fix it by turning on the wireless radio again, but I had hoped to turn it off and only use wireless from the 802.11n router.
Any ideas?
Brian

Did you disconnect wireless on the 2 Windows 7 64 bit machines while testing wired?
What is the connection between the Actiontec and the Belkin? LAN-to-WAN or LAN-to-LAN?
If the connection is LAN-to_LAN, the wireless connection on each machine would have obtained a DHCP address from the Actiontec. When you connected wired, you would have gotten a new IP address based on the different MAC address of the wired NIC, resulting in the machine having 2 IP addresses. This may not be readily apparent on the Actiontec main status page as the second connection will get a generated name of "new-host-xx" (the router can't reuse the same PC name for 2 different IP addresses). Windows should be able to keep the two connections on the same subnet straight, but I've seen WIndows do stranger things.
If the connection is LAN-to-WAN, the Belkin must have a different subnet address than the Actiontec (e.g.. 192.168.2.x). Now, if you connect both wired to the Actiontec (192.168.1.x) and wireless via the Belkin (192.168.2.x), Windows is going to have connections to two different subnets with two different gateway routers. Without explicit routing rules, Windows won't know which gateway to use.

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.

What WiFi extender is compatible with the MI424WR router?

My house is larger than the MI424WR router can service with wireless connectivity and I'm looking at adding a wifi extender, but want to be sure it will work with the Actiontec MI424WR router I have with FIOS. I'm thinking of the Linksys RE1000. Anybody know if that (or any other extender) would be compatible?
Thanks.

You're not adding a "second line," you're just extending your LAN.
The key point to understand is that the primary router provides LAN access on three different media; wired Ethernet, WiFi and over the coax (using a system called MoCA). Normally, the only coax clients on the LAN are set-top boxes. However, the coax LAN is available to anything that plugs into coax. Thus, all you need is a device that converts the coax LAN to something more useful, like Ethernet or WiFi. This is called a "bridge," and is a different function than a router.
There are several devices that can be used to bridge coax MoCA to Ethernet and/or Wifi. Actiontec routers can be run in bridge mode, and are suggested by many folks on these boards.
Here's a link that explains how to do it:

Actiontec MI424WR router failure to power up/boot up

When I power on the Actiontec MI424WR router, all that happens is that all the lights just blink rapidly (including the little green one on the power pack plugged into the wall). After a short period of time, everything just shuts off. I have tried a hard reset, as well as leaving off for a few minutes and disconnecting all network connections. Has this router bit the dust?

Communicating with Actiontec modem/router

I have an Actiontec MI424WR Rev. F, working fine and serving a few devices.
One of them is a linksys E1200 router
Looking at:
advanced > IP Address Distribution > Connection List > DHCP Connections
I can see all devices except the Linksys E1200 router.
Embarrassing - but I know why I don't see it.
I (by mistake) 'clicked' the 'Remove' button just after making it 'static'.
The Linksys E1200 router is functioning. It is 'known' and recognized by Actiontec
as evident from: Main > My Network (as "192.168.1.7" )
And: My Network > Network Status
I was trying to 'clean' the setup and to this end,
I'm seeking expertise in communicating with this Actiontec modem/router,
so I can 'ask' it to redisplay the E1200.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did you assign the Linksys a static IP address in the Linksys WAN interface?
If so, it won't appear in the DHCP connection list, but will appear on the main status page and the network status page.
If you didn't assign the Linksys a static IP address in its WAN interface and it is getting its WAN IP address via DHCP, then it should reappear in the DHCP connection list the next time it renews its DHCP lease with the Actiontec, which could be as long as 12 hours since the Actiontec's LAN DHCP lease interval is 24 hours. You can force the Linksys to request a new DHCP lease by rebooting the Linksys.
BTW, the Actiontec is a MOCA capable router. It is not a modem.

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.

How do I set-up Linksys E3000 with Actiontec MI424WR

Hi,
I recently purchased a Linksys E3000 so that I could use it as my primary router instead of the Actiontec MI424WR. I want to use the Wireless N functionality of the new router since the MI424WR does not support that.
I've researched many forums and have attempted many changes. But, it seems that the instructions available online are geared towards a different FiOS connection than what I have. There were details about setting up the MI424WR as a bridge, ect, but I could not get any to work.
My Actiontec MI424WR is connected via a coaxial cable, I know there are others connected via a CAT5 cable. I've also read about VOD or CableTV service being disrupted by changing the settings on the Actiontec MI424WR, but I don't think that is the case with my service. This has been part of my confusion with everything I've read.
Could someone please explain to me, in simple terms, how I can get my Linksys E3000 set-up to work as my primary wireless router?
Thank you in advance,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What revision of the Actiontec do you have?
Do you have FIOS-TV? Your post is not clear about that.
Is it practical for you to run cat5 to the ONT?
If you want to keep the coax WAN connection, then you must bridge the Actiontec in order for your router to be primary.
If you can switch to a cat5 WAN connection, then you can connect your router as primary with the Actiontec behind it as a MOCA LAN bridge. You will not lose VOD, guide data or widgets. Remote DVR and on-screen caller-id will not function properly if your router is primary.
See this FAQ for different ways you can connect your router.

Replacing Westell 9100EM with Actiontec MI424WR??

Hi,
i have fios with westell router, but lately the wifi keep dropping/disconnected
i have spare actiontec MI424WR, could i replace westell with that? if yes, how to do it? just change it? any config or call to make?
thanks before

should be plug and play, but you will want to release your ip to the westell before you disconnect it. otherwise your actiontec will never get online.
use this walk through for that

IBook G4 WPA compatibility with Actiontec Modem Router

Installed Actiontec modem/router on my XP desktop, and enabled WPA encryption for wireless security. Strong signal on both the desktop and iPod Touch. However, my iBookG4 won't pick up signal unless I disable WPA security option. It should be compatible with WPA... Any options other than creating a WEP 26-digit key?

Hi halfbacks, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Is this the original 802.11b only card, or the extreme b/g card?

Automatic reset of ActionTec MI424WR router

Has anyone experienced an auto-reset of the MI424WR router? Two days ago, my router stopped connecting with the wireless devices on my home network, and I ultimately determined that the router had reset --- on its own --- to the default settings. I had to input my security and other settings again to enable my wireless printer and laptops to access the network and the Internet. What could make this happen? We did not touch the reset button on the back of the router or use the web interface with the browser to reset it to the default configuration.

or it is not unheard of for a power outage or power surge to cause a reset. I save a copy of my configuration file (regularly) to my computer (I just overwrite the last one) so that if that happens I can easily restore it in just a few clicks of the mouse.

Wake on LAN with Actiontech MI424wr Router

I posted this by mistake in the DSL forum, sorry.
. I've set up Wake on LAN for the purpose of powering up a media server that handles all my video and picture files. I have it working fine within my LAN but I've run into a problem when I use it from outside, meaning the internet or my cellular network. The Actiontech MI424WR router does not let me port forward the broadcast address so I worked around this issue by creating a static entry in the ARP table that passes the "Magic packet" to the broadcast MAC of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. See http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16041 for the details.
This technique works fine but unfortunately, the ARP entry will not survive a router reboot or power down. From what information I've been able to find, it may be possible to create a startup script in the router that will re-create the ARP entry upon bootup. I've contacted Actiontech but they said I needed to speak to Verizon support. I contacted Verizon support and they gave me a number for the Verizon Expert Care Team. I'm kinda smelling a runaround so I figured I'd post the question here before I made any more calls.
If you read that link I posted, theres an interesting alternative using a second router and changing that router's MAC address to all "F"s but not many routers will allow you to do that, at least not the two I have. Anyway, if someone knows how to create a startup script or has an alternate solution, I'd be most interested in seeing it. Thanks in advance.

By the way if you are still interested here is my solution...
Just change the IP, username and password. Save this file to filename.vbs and Schedule a trigger (Daily Task, on PC startup) to run this script and you should be good to go
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.run"telnet 192.168.1.1"
WScript.Sleep 1500 WshShell.SendKeys"username"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"password"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"system shell"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"arp -s 192.168.1.254 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"exit"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys"exit"
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.SendKeys("{Enter}")

Fixed wifi problems with Verizon FIOS' Actiontec MI424WR router

My FIOS router was setup for 64bit WEP with support for b and g. It had worked great for years with my iPhone, iPod touch, and other computers in my home. Then came the iPad. The iPad would lose the connection, prompt me for the password, etc. several times per day. I first tried changing to g only support. It didn't help. Then I changed to WEP 128 and all of the frustrating problems appear to have gone away.
Hope this helps some of you love your iPad more because I was really starting to hate mine...

I went into the router and set a static IP address for the ipad (in the low 200's dont use the 100's its for your fios cable dvr's). You will first have to shutdown the ipad (not just sleep). Then delete the ipad from the connection list in the fios router. The instructions from the fios router pdf are below. I am on 24 hrs and even with wep and no fixed channel I have had no problems.
To define a new connection with a fixed IP address:
1. Click New Static Connection in the DHCP Connections screen. The “DHCP Connection Settings” screen appears.
2. Enter a host name for this connection.
3. Enter the fixed IP address to assign to the computer.
4. Enter the MAC address of the computer’s network card.
5. Click the OK to save changes.
☞ Note: A device’s fixed IP address is actually assigned to the specific
network card’s MAC address installed on the network computer.
If this network card is replaced, the device’s entry in the DHCP Connections list must be updated with the new network card’s MAC address.
To remove a host from the table, click the appropriate “Delete” icon in the Action column.
