Verizon MI424WR router and Netgear WN1000RP wifi range extender

Not sure if anyone has configured this before. At face value, it's simple but I cannot get it to work. I'm able to creat a new SSID <AccessPointName_EXT> and connect to it. But once I connect to it, I can't get any Internet activity at all. I don;t have any ACL\MAC filtering set. I'm sure I need to change something on my verizon router but haven't figured it out yet. This is becoming the bane of my exstence! I've tried seeting things up through the wizard and manually...same exact results. Ugh!

FOUND THIS IN THE WN1000RP wi-fi range extender manual.

My Verizon MI424WR router resets and drops all client connections without my intervention

I have noticed my devices lose their Verizon MI424WR router and Internet connection (wired and wireless alike) for some time now (months) on a regular basis. Sometimes multiple times a day and at different times of the day. You typically have to be actively using a device to notice these events. I have one client that will display an "Internet Connection Restored" message until I return to view it and I can see that this happens quite frequently overnight when there is minimal Internet usage. During a recent "outage" I quickly ran to the router to find it was in the process of rebooting, however, I did not perform any direct actions (e.g., cycling the power or applying admin config changes) that would have caused it.
What is/could be the cause of this? Is Verizon support pushing silent router maintenance updates that require resets? Am I exceeding the maximum TCP connections the firmware will allow before faulting to reboot? I require high availability and uninterrupted connections and would prefer to know the routers limitations or when any remote automated maintenance requiring resets will be occurring if that is in fact the cause.

My router routinely runs for months between resets, which are caused by me needing to move a cable or a similar. Only once did I notice a reset due to a Verizon update, and that was when the firmware was updated a year or so ago.
You can check the router's up time on the "system monitoring" web page. This will let you know when the last reset occurred.
You should not see resets unless you cause them. The symptoms you describe are not typical. You might need a new router. If you think so, contact Verizon support.
Good Luck.

Trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?

I am trying to connect a NetGear Wifi Range Extender to my existing Wifi. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I am also connected to a Vonage Phone Router. Any help would be appreciated?
The Apple update Firmware for my Airport Extreme Base Station does not update for some reason? Help?
Additionally, I have an older version Airport Express that does not update with the newer Airport Utility Version 6.3 and asks me to download 5.6 to update? Is this worth it?
Thanks

The netgear is not going to work very well.. and not at all unless it is universal wireless extender.. you cannot use WDS method.
If it does support universal wireless then make sure the airport uses a rational SMB compatible wireless name.. not an apple name which is 35 characters long with spaces and illegal characters like apostrophe.
So nice AE name.. AEwifi and actually while you are trying.. fruitlessly to do this.. use AE24ghz and AE5ghz (so different names on the different bands)
Assuming your AE is gen3 or greater.
You should also fix the wireless channel at least for 2.4ghz since the netgear is probably only going to repeat 2.4ghz so use channel 11, as a trial.
And use no wireless security as a test.. if that works.. then use WPA1 & 2.. as often old equipment using WPA2 is not compatible.
If it fails with simple name.. fixed channel and no security. Sorry it is not compatible at all.. it happens.
If your AE is G wireless or earlier model.. really the time has come for replacement.
If your Express is G wireless model it is not supported.. and is too old to bother with expect I guess if you want to run audio to a speaker.
You must use older 5.6 utility to do this.. so do you have a computer running older OS.. up to Mountain Lion it is easy to install with a bit of manipulation.. later is much harder .. or windows computer anywhere or available to you.

Netgear WiFi Range extender Ipad sees it but does not open Web apps

Verizon MI424WR Router Randomly Stops Broadcasting

I have a Verizon MI424WR Router that I use to wirelessly connect several PC systems that run various operating systems. Randomly throughout the day the computers (at the same time) indicate they have lost connectivity to the wireless network. The wireless router doesn't indicate anything is wrong and the modem still indicates it is connected. The only way to fix this is to switch off the router then back on again.
Is my router faulty?
Thanks!
Sarah
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This exact same issue has been happening to my connection. Tech help continually asks me to "reset the router" and that does indeed usually clear up the issue. I've had to do it twice in a row the last two times and i'm quite frustrated with it. I presume my router is bad and I'm soon to call to demand a replacement because having to reset the router every 4 or 5 days to get reliable connectivity is silly.
Here's the other weird thing, when I reset the router then enter the standard 192.168.1.1 to administrate the network, change the SSID and WEP password, etc. It will let me do it on my older Power PC Mac, and my housemates' PC's, but my newer Intel macBook doesn't get any connectivity to administrate at all.
It's very strange.

Can i use airport extreme as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

can i use airport extreme base station as wifi range extender in conjunction with a Linksys AE4500 router

If you are trying to "extend" using wireless only......Apple tells us that their "extend a wireless network" feature is designed to only work with other Apple routers.
So, in order to use your AirPort Extreme as an extender, you would need to have another Apple router.....an AirPort Express, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Extreme as the main base station.
I haven't tested the specific Linksys model that you have, but have owned and worked with several other Linksys models, none of which were compatible with Apple for the purpose that you ask about....so I would have to say that it is extremely unlikely that your model would be compatible with the AirPort Extreme.

Wifi range extender and iPad

Which wifi range extender works with i-pad OIS7.0.4? Netgear WN3000RP does not. Tnx

Thanks to the Apple technician I reached by phone, we found the solution. The solution is to tell the i-pad to forget the main network. The i-pad then then uses automatically the extended network only.

How do I connect my new Iphone 5 to my Belkin wifi range extender?

I have upgraded to the Iphone 5 and now can not connect to my Belkin wifi range extender. When I go into wifi in the settings it is bringing it up, but when you click on it it does not give you the option to just put in the password. When you go into the details there is no IP address in there! It is connecting to the router downstairs, but this extender was to give me coverage in upstairs. What to do?!

You need OS X 10.6. Make sure your computer meets the requirements and get it here fir $19.99

I want to extend the range of my Time Capsule, can I use Universal WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter WN2000RPT?

I want to extend the range of my Time Capsule, can I use Universal WiFi Range Extender, 4-port WiFi Adapter WN2000RPT?

A universal may work but reliability tends to be poor..
You are much better using another airport .. extreme or express.. even a second hand older one.
Or do not use wireless bridge or repeater.. simply run ethernet or use EOP adapters to a second WAP run independently of the main router.. it is far more reliable and far faster solution .. wireless bridge/repeater will halve your wireless speed.

Using AirPort Express as a WiFi Range Extender

I have a Westell Versalink 327 W combination DSL Modem and Wireless Router downstairs hooked up to an iMac via ethernet cable. Can I use the AirPort Express as a WiFi Range Extender upstairs? Any issues I should be aware of?

I suggest that you check with DLink on this as using the same manufacturer will always give you the best chance at compatibility.
Maybe this would do it:

Can I use my extreme as a wifi range extender? my dsl is a westel madem/wifi combo.

can I use my airport exteme as a wifi range extender? my dsl is a westel modem/wifi combo.

You can use the AirPort Extreme to extend the wireless network if the network has been created by another Apple router.
The AirPort Extreme would not be compatible for the purpose of extending the wireless from the Westell gateway using wireless only.
If you could connect the AirPort Extreme to the Westell device using an Ethernet connection, you have some other options. Post back if you need more info on this type of setup.

My iphone has trouble connecting to a wifi range extender

I have a Virgin media wifi Hub and a TP Link wifi range extender and have intermittent connection issues.
Unhelpfully i have heard rumours that iphones and iPads don't react well to environments with range extenders.
I have checked the firmware of the extender (it's up to date).
I have checked the settings of the extender - going through a factory reset/clear all settings and initial set up - they all look fine.
The iPhone and iPad are both iOS7.0.2 and do not have any issue connecting to wifi within "well known high street coffee shops".
I've searched for any settings obvious or otherwise on the devices in order to resolve this.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I use an Apple Airport Extreme and two Apple Airport Express devices for my WiFi Network. The two Apple Express devices are set up as range extenders. This setup works well, with the exception of when I use my Microwave Oven the newer and furthest Airport Express drops the connection to any devices that were using it. I have to unplug that Express and then the devices reconnect. I am sharing this only to say that interference can play a part in Network issues with Range Extenders. My newer Airport Express is a Dual Mode supporting 2.4 and 5.0 at the same time. Any connected device capable of 5.0 will use the faster signal.
Don't know if your Network devices allow for manual Channel selection but if so you might want to try some various channels to see if that offers a reliable connection.

Port Forwarding not working between Fios Router and Netgear R6200 AT ALL

For the past two days I've been trying to forward port 80 and port 9000 from my Fios Router to my new NetGear R6200 Router and absolutely nothing is working. I need these ports open and forwarded as I need to forward them to my surveillance system from my R6200. The problem is that port forwarding is not working AT ALL. I've literally tried EVERYTHING. I turned my firewall off completely, enabled DMZ, changed my R6200 to a static IP, turned off uPnP on both sides, and reset my router to factory settings. I'm all out of patience and ideas. This is exactly why I went out and bought the R6200 in the first place, Verizon's Routers are atrocious.
Hardware:
First Router (Gateway): Verizon Fios Aciontec MI424WR
Second Router: NetGear R6200 Dual Band 802.11AC Router
Surveillance System DVR: Zmodo H9114 DVR
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit
At this point I'm willing to try anything. Fios customer support knew absolutely nothing and wasted my time and if a tech is sent to my house I'm sure the same exact outcome will occur. I recall someone saying that cloning the MAC of a different REV. worked for them but I don't recall the details. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#1 As addressed in http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12506
The DHCP Server in the secondary router should be off.
#2 You only forward from the main router directly to the computer that you want to host on.

Verizon FIOs router and Aiport Card slow performance

Hey all,
Yesterday I switched from DSL to Verizons FIOs. Everything is working great with my PowerMac G4 which is hardwired to the ActionTec M1424WR wireless router, and an old PC laptop which is wireless.
The problem I’m having is with an iMac G5 wireless connection to the ActionTec router. I can connect to the internet but the pages load slower than DSL.
I started by talking with Apple Care a couple of times with no luck. I emptied the Cashe and reset Safari. I’ve also checked for interference from other sources like other routers in the area. And it’s not a distance problem because the connection strength is as high as it can be. The speed tests I’ve run say the download speeds a great. (5.12Mbps) But it still takes 30 seconds for a page to load.
In talking to a tech guy at Verizon (who knows Macs and networks), we thought it might be the WEP or the transmition rate. We turned off the WEP and set the transmition rate to “Auto” in the router control panel. But still no luck.
The Verizon tech is checking with ActionTec. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know. And I will let you all know what Verizon says.
Thanks,
mekg4
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Several weeks ago I said I would let everyone know how things progressed with getting my slow FIOs connection issuse resolved. So here’s what took place.
The first Verizon technician I talked with had me turn off the routers WEP encryption, then I changed the transmition rate setting to automatic. After having no effect he said he would call me back after talking to Actiontec. I never heard from him again.
During my second call to Verizon, tech support set up a conference call with a technician at Actiontec. After a brief discussion the Actiontec technician was sure the problem was with the wireless card in my computer. So after getting no help from Verizon or Actiontec I decided to give up on the Actiontec router an go back to my Netgear router.
After reconnecting my Netgear router I discovered I had a new problem. My Netgear router would not automatically configure. So I called Verizon tech support a 3rd time. I spent a half hour on the phone trying to configure my Netgear router manually. But this was a waste of time because no one at Verizon was sure what the correct router settings are because routers are designed to configure automatically.
Next I called Netgear to find out why the router was not configuring automatically. After spending $32.00 to talk to Netgear tech support he had me eliminate the router by going straight to my Mac to see if I could get an internet connection. And there was no connection.
So I called Verizon tech support a 4th time. I finally got someone I felt could really help. He told me that in order to connect the new router he would have to clear the IP Address that was assigned to my Actiontec router. The other option is to leave the router unplugged for as much as 4 hours. This too, will clear the IP Address. Once he cleared the old IP Address I reconnected my Netgear router and it configured automatically and I was back on the net. Now, web pages on my wireless iMac are loading in 3-5 seconds instead of 30 seconds.
However, there is just one more thing. After a short time my Netgear router began to freeze when I tried watching a 480p HD movie trailer. Then again when I went to the iTunes music store. Each time I had to turn of the router, wait 30 seconds then turn it back on. I emailed Netgear tech suppport and their response was to log into the router control panel:
1 Go to the WAN Setup.
2 Reduce the MTU to 1400,1456,1484 or 1492
3 Deselect "Disable the SPI firewall"
I tried setting the MTU to 1400 first and that seemed to work for a while. Then it started freezing again. I have the MTU set to 1456 now and it seems to be working so far.
I hope this information will be of help to anyone upgading to Verizon FIOs Internet.

Got new Quantum MI424WR router and dropcam and IP cameras won't respond.

I just got the Quantum MI424WR router installed the other day. i have 1 Dropcam and 4 of the 'old' verizon wirelss ip cameras that they sold for HM&C. Now none of them connect to my Vera system that was working flawlessly prior to my install. I know dropcam only works on 2.4 and i think this router is 2.4 and 5.8 plus i have Verizon installed extenders at 5.8. None of the cameras will respond to this router. Any help appreciated.

Hi, those drop cams probably need to be configured manually in the new router. Do you remember getting the new router and configuring port forwarding for the camera's?   do you know what ports need to be forwarded?
I would recommend reconnecting the old router, so that you can get the settings you need copied.   The old router does not need to connect to the internet to do this, in fact simply turn it on (don't need to disconnect your new router, or even hook up coax to it) and then connect to your old wireless.
Go into the configuration pages and copy the settings you need from your port forward menu.
If you aren't familiar with how to port forward you can use these instructions here.
