Trying to set up second Actiontec MI424WR for MoCA

I've been struggling to figure out how to set up a second MI424WR via MoCA upstairs in my house, and have gone through several different forums seeking answers. I had a Verizon technician in today and information he provided conflicts with what I've read on these forums so I was wondering if someone could set me straight.
I have 2 MI424WRs, my original rev D in my basement which works fine, but doesn't reach our second floor, and a rev F I'm trying to set up on the second floor. The rev D connects to the internet via ethernet, and uses coax for television. I have a 5-1000mhz splitter on the second floor between a cable box and the rev F router. I have reserved up to 192.168.10 for static IPs and released the rev F of DHCP. The internet works very briefly, and very unreliably on the rev F.
So my question is this: I was told that what I want to do is not possible. The technician claimed that switching my ONT's internet to Coax would still prevent me from doing what I'm aiming for. Is this the case? His suggestion was to use the Verizon Network Range Extender WCB3000N, which from what I understand uses MoCA to function... so if that's all correct then why won't my rev F also work?? Very confusing, I appreciate any help!

ONT REPLACEMENT and switching to Ethernet are totally unnecessary. The communication should be strickly over the COAX between the two routers if you configured this as DSL suggests. You must remember to configure the second router NOT to connect to the ONT which is described in those recommendations for disabling wan access. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15984
Possible problems could be not disabling DHCP and WAN access on the seceond Actiontec, bad coax, and bad splitters.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?). Not worth repairing.
If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt. So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect? For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor. Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed & I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

I am trying to set up a group contact for my golf league, but can't find a way to do this on the iphone

That's because you can't. You make the contact group on the computer application with which you're synching your contacts. Or you can find an app in the app store.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If your son is under 13, then you will need to set up an account for yourself and allow him to use it.

HT204053 how do i verify my icloud I've been trying to set up my iCloud account for the past two days and it's telling me to check my email to verify. There's nothing there. I can log in with my Apple id but that's where I'm at. It's driving me nuts.

how do i verify my icloud I've been trying to set up my icloud account...it's telling me to check my email to verify. there's nothing there. I can log in with my apple ID but that is it??? HELP

Have you tried your spam folder? it could have gone there by default. also, are you sure you put the correct email in for iCloud?

TS2976 i am trying to set up two email accounts for outlook, one for me and one for my husband. Does anyone know how to do this?

I am trying to set up icloud emails on outlook 2010. It only lets me add 1 email rather than two. One is for me and one for my husband.

Maybe you should ask on a Microsoft forum rather than one dedicated to the using the iPhone in an enterprise environment.

Need help setting up second actiontec router

Need step by step instructions to add a second actiontec router over coax to increase by wifi range to a different part of the house. I have verizon fios 73/35. I recently upgraded by router to the Actiontec rev I and I would like to use the left over router (also an Actiontech router) in a area with poor wifi coverage. My main router is an Actiontect rev I that I have my computer hooked up to. What is the procedure to make this work. I hear I have to make it a MoCa connection and use it as an access point. I'm moderately challenged when it comes to understanding all this computer jargon and need some help in basic laymens terms. (I do learn easily though and willing to get technical). THanks

I used this document myself when I did the same thing. Sounds like you'll want to start with step 2.

How do I accept the Terms and Conditions when trying to set up an Apple ID for the first time ( using my iphone)?

I am trying to create an Apple ID by using the Itunes icon on my iphone 5s for the first time. It opens up a screen with the 54 pages of Terms and Conditions and it does not allow me to even accept the Terms and Conditions... no Accept option or place to click!
The only option is to Send the terms and conditions via email... which also does not work...it keeps asking me to "try again"... Has someone else had this problem?

After updating to ios7, my iPhone can't sign in to iTunes when trying to set up iMessage. Notifications for apps also cannot be turned on

I updated my iPhone 5 to ios7 and are now experiencing problems. I cannot set up iMessage because when trying to connect to my account it says that it cannot connect to the network. Also, for apps like mail, whatsapp, facebook etc, i can't set up notifications because it always says that I have to connect to iTunes, which I already am.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

I tried to set up a new library for my old ipod nano so i could update songs on it however when i tried to import songs from a cd it crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting to sync the new songs with ipod nano. now i cant find old library

However during the process of adding new songs itunes crashed and i had to end task therefor not getting the chance to sync the new songs onto ipod nano. later when i plugged in my current ipod touch all my songs have disappeared and i cant find the original itunes library i had for it! is there anyway to get it back? i have tried pressing shift when opening itunes but still cant find the original itunes that i had!!

Since all of your music came from your computer in the first place, then it should still be there and should be included in your backup copy of your computer.
" it told me when i pluged hers in 2 ipods could not use the same account"
This is not true. You have misunderstood.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one one library.

I purchase a ipad from a friend. I set up an apple id on my ipad. Iam trying to set up a itunes account for this ipad, i have had a itunes account in the past, but my apple id is the same only with a 36 at the end of my apple id. When I log into itunes to

create a new account, it tells me that I already have an account and it won't let me create a new account, how do i cancel that old itunes account and create a new one with my new apple e-mail address?
Also when I select on my ipad free apps, it pops up with the previous owner apple id on it, how can I change that to my apple id?

From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled. You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.
