Verizon sent me a 2nd Router. What shouls I be using?

I had fios tv for about a yesr and a half when I got internet added. My internet is working via the same router as my tv. However, I got a new router in the mail and directions for self installation. Was this a mistake? Should I use the new router? Should I use both?

You don't say what hardware revision the routers are.
Use the one that is the later hardware revision (rev. F, rev. I, etc).
You can find the hardware revision level on the service tag.

  • Verizon Sent My Replacemen​t Router to the Wrong Address; Now Saying They'll Bill Me for It

    On Saturday, my cable modem started rebooting spontaneously, every hour or two. When I called Customer Support on Monday, they said it was unsuccessfully trying to install new firmware, and would keep rebooting for the foreseeable future. Customer Support agreed to send me a new modem; I was to get it on Tuesday, 12/10.
    When I checked the UPS status site on Tuesday afternoon, it said the cable modem had been delivered to my house at 11 AM on Tuesday. It hadn't, at least not to my address. When I called Verizon, the agent told me they wouldn't send me another one as they'd already sent it to me. When I pressed the point because my home network still wasn't up, the agent told me my only option was to drive 20 miles to a Verizon Fios office and exchange my bad cable modem for a good one. I did that last night (3 hours of my time, $6 in gas). So after four days my home network is back up. That's good.
    The bad news is I was told at the Verizon store (and my earlier call) that I would be charged for any unreturned cable modem (my guess is $100). In other words, according to Verizon I have the missing modem ("We sent it to you, sir; and you seem to think it's not your job to track it down. If I were you, I'd find it."), and so will be charged for it. I called UPS this morning, and discovered that they delivered the cable modem to the wrong address -- it went to River ROAD rather than River STREET. They have started an investigation, and if it turns out the cable modem is lost, they will reimburse Verizon. My question is, How do I notify Verizon that UPS lost the modem, so that Verizon should be getting the cost from them, not me? Given the unhelpful nature of the Verizon agents I've dealt with (the common refrain is, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that, sir"), I know I will be charged for the missing cable modem unless I can figure out who in the Verizon bureaucracy to talk to. Any suggestions?
    The funny thing is, several weeks ago I was considering paying Verizon for the 100 Mbps Internet service. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to avoid paying $100 for a cable modem I don't have when I close out my Verizon service and move over to Comcast in the next several weeks. It's going to be a pain to move, but frankly, I have better things to do than deal with "that's not my job" people for hours on end.

  • Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 modem/router, and Airport Extreme

    Useful info so you won't have to go through what I did.
    Verizon ISP using the Westell 6100 modem/router & Airport Extreme.
    The Westell 6100 was configured during installation as a modem and router with a direct connection to the Mac. You can actually connect Airport Extreme at this point with an ethernet connection to the Westell and it will work, but you can't do any of the sharing things (remote login, personal web sharing, etc.) To do those things the Westell needs to be in the Bridge mode. In a nutshell, you have to edit the Westell's VC configuration to establish Bridge mode, and disable its DHCP server. Then you have to set up the Airport to connect using PPPoE using the Account Name and Password from Verizon.
    1. With the Westell connected directly to the Mac, access the device at 192.168.1.1.
    a. Under VC Configuration the first of seven configurations should already be enabled as VPI 0, VCI 35 using PPPoE. Edit that one and change it to Bridge mode.
    b. Under DHCP configuration, disable the DHCP server. You can also do this under the Private LAN Configuration page. If at the latter, do not attempt to disable the Private LAN (it won't let you anyway). Verizon tech support kept insisting I had to disable the Private LAN, which caused a great amount of anguish!
    c. Before leaving 192.168.1.1 (you won't be able to access it again once the Airport is connected and configured) make sure you know your ISP account name and password. This was assigned during my setup procedure with Verizon, a random selection of letters and numbers.
    2. Now hook up the Airport WAN to the Westell's ethernet port and the Mac to the Airport LAN. Fire up Airport Admin Utility.
    a. Under the Internet tab, select Connect Using PPPoE.
    b. Configure PPPoE using the Verizon Account Name.
    c. Change password to the Verizon account password.
    3. Restart and that's it.

    Thank you for your post. When I moved to another home, Verizon sent me the Westell 6100 and I had been having trouble staying connected to the Internet with my Airport. Last night, I loss wireless access and the Airport status in the menu bar read "Looking for a PPPoE connection". Verizon customer support was able to get me back online, albeit with only a direct Ethernet connection between my iBook and the 6100.
    I found your post and followed your instructions. Now all the iBooks in our household are back online via the Airport. Thank you very much!

  • How to use Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router(access point...

    Hi guys hope you can help; I am trying to add my Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router (ie an access point) to my home network and struggling.
    What am I trying to achieve.
    I have a fully functioning home network which is working great but the wireless range does not extend to the room above my garage, some distance away from the main house. I currently service it with an Ethernet link from my E4200 router, via the mains wiring, to link to a PS3 there. But I want to extend this to have a wireless network in the remote room so I can link multiple devices - rather than spend more money, deploying a 2nd router which I already have  is preferable.
    What have I got.
    I have a Linksys E4200 router (nice piece of kit) attached to my ADSL line via a Belkin N1 wireless modem-router set to  “modem only” mode (I was using a DSL modem until yesterday but that went AWOL and digging out the Belkin router I saw that it had a modem only function – and it/they worked first time )
    All of my gear in the house is attached wirelessly to the E4200 which is delivering circa 11.5mbps from a maximum of 12.5mbps for the line measured by BT onsite. So  all is  fine there.
    What have I done to try and use the HH3
    Linked an Ethernet cable between one of the Ethernet ports on the E4200 to a mains plug.
    Linked an Ethernet cable from a mains plug to one of the Ethernet ports on the HH3 router.
    Ie as the PS3 was linked.
    3.  Switched on the HH3 router: the power light is solid blue, the wireless light is solid blue, the broadband light is off
    4. Connected my laptop to the HH3 network and loading up a web page on IE9 displays a web page from bthomehub.home/etc etc with title BT Home Hub and a message “Can’t connect to Broadband”. It is the start of a self- diagnostic routine. Answering all the questions I eventually get a Home Hub Administrative Home Page displayed.
    Is there a quicker way of getting to this admin page??
    5.  I switched off DHCP
    I changed the IP address from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.200 as this seems to be what the other threads on this subject did.
    When I went to apply the change a message came up telling me that I might not be able to access the HH3. I ploughed on disregarding this and needless to say I could not then access the HH3 via the web interface and trying to access a web site nothing happened.
    6.  I did a hardware reset on the HH3
    7. Going through the motions again, when I got to the admin pages again, I switched off DHCP and this time left the IP address alone, ie 192.168.1.254.
    When I went to apply this  I got the message
    “After changing these settings you will need to renew the IP address of all devices connecting to your BT Home Hub. Please follow the instructions provided with your devices.”
    I applied the change – but have not yet done any fooling around with IP addresses on my laptop because I don’t want to start mucking around with my laptop
    I then tried to access a website, and failed, but on this occasion rather than nothing happening, the Home Hub website came up  again displaying the error message page.
    And that is where I stand. All looks so easy when reading other threads on this and other forums but it is not working for me.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    The IP settings on the E4200 are
    IP  192.168.1.1
    Range  192.168.1.100  to 192.168.1.149
    Also connection type on the E4200 is POE not POA – as far as I  recall that is what it needed to be to connect to the DSL modem and work.

    Thanks for the speedy reply!
    I have actually came across this page before - I seem to hit a snag when I connect the repeater hub (my HH3).  As outlined, I have at all times kept the repeater hub connected via ehternet into one of the regular LAN ports to my main HH5.
    But when I connect my laptop to the repeat hub (HH3), I am actually connected to the internet somehow (I assuem using the HH5 network) but under my network connections it says I am connected to the HH3.  As a result, when I go to the homehub settings page 192.168.1.254, it brings me to the main HH5 settings page and not the repeater HH3.
    According to the instructions it says I should "Ignore the not connected page", but I am connected and I cant seem to alter any of the settings on my HH3 while it is connected to the HH5.
    Any other pointers?
    Thanks!

  • WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VERIZON THAT THEY CAN'T DO WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO DO? HELP PLEASE!!!!

    Over the last month and a half I have called and spoke to 3 or 4 different Verizon customer service agents about a problem with my account & every time I am told that the problem will be fixed only to have nothing happen. What is going on here?
    Around the beginning of March I made the mistake of edging up & my account has been screwed up ever since.  I was using the iphone 5 & had only $130 left before the iphone 5 was completely paid for (I had been making payments on it every month through the edge program) and my contract was up in April. I stupidly decided to edge up & Verizon sent me the iphone 6+ & told me I was to send them my iphone 5. I decided that I would rather keep the iphone 5 so I could pay the remaining $130 left on the edge agreement & I would own the iphone 5 outright. I returned the iphone 6+ (yes it was within the 14 day window that Verizon gives you to return a new device) to a Verizon store and paid the $35 restock fee. I never activated the iphone 6+.
    Somehow or other Verizon started me on a whole new edge agreement as if I had kept the iphone 6+. Verizon says that I have $600 some dollars left to pay on my edge agreement. I've already made almost $600 total edge payments over the last year and I had $130 left to pay. Why is Verizon trying to charge me again for a phone I've already paid for??? My last monthly payment due was $185, it's usually around $110  & the extra charges were because of the "new edge device" agreement I was put on.
    I understand mistakes happen but this is ridiculous. I've called and spoke to at least 3 different Verizon customer service agents and they've all told me they would correct my account and I would see the correction on my verizon in a week or 10 days or something like that so I wait and nothing happens. I was told the extra $75 I paid last month would be credited & put towards my account, I was told by one of Verizons people I spoke with that I would be getting some form I needed to sign in the mail but it never came. I am so tired of wasting so much time on a mistake Verizon made but seems unwilling to fix. Why is it so difficult to remedy my account?

    We want to see this resolved once and for all, cem421! I have sent you a Direct Message so that we can work to end this frustration for you. I will look forward to working with you further!

  • How to install TC (4th gen) as 2nd router?

    Hi,
    I want to install my Time Capsule as a 2nd router behind the ISP modem/router. I want to do this because my ISP demands to keep the WI-FI turned on in the modem/router to enter the hotspots all over the country. I want to have my separated network through my TC, because this is much quicker. I also have an airport express to extend my network, wich doesn't work in bridge mode of the TC.
    I have enabled an IP adress in the dmz of my router, made a static IP connection with the same IP adress, but the TC is saying that I have double use of NAT. Internet is working, but I can't seem to find my airport express.
    Can someone help me?

    but the TC is saying that I have double use of NAT.
    You will have to put up with a Double NAT error if you want to run the TC as a router in the DMZ.
    The Double NAT error may or may not create problems for you, since Double NAT is unpredictable.
    What model number of AirPort Express do you have?
    Will it extend using a wired Ethernet connection or using a wireless connection?
    What operating system are you using on your Mac or PC?
    And.....Bridged does work on the TC to extend an Express....I am doing it right now. No special set up involved. Normal stuff.

  • Battery dead on ipod nano (2nd generation) What do I do?

    Dead battert on my ipod nano (2nd generation) What do I do? Should I get it replaced or just buy a new one?

    You have 1 of three routes if you want to get it replaced. Whether or not it is worth it is entirely up to you.
    1) Have Apple replace the battery in it for a flat fee.  See this page for pricinghttp://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ and this page for setting up the service request. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
    2) Locate and utiltize a third party service (there may even be some shops/service centers in your area).  I have no suggestions as to which one is better than another, so for now you'll have to Google for "iPod battery replacement" and you should get a number of results. This is slightly cheaper than the Apple route although a bit riskier in terms of having the job done right.
    3) If you consider yourself handy with small electronics you can purchase a new battery from an online retailer and use one of the numerous guides online to swap it out yourself.  I usually stick with http://www.ifixit.com for parts and step-by-step guides. Of course this route is the cheapest, but is the most difficult.

  • Internet Connection Lost Once 2nd Router Added to Network

    I am at a point of complete loss and frustration and absolutely cannot figure this out.
    About 4 months ago, I decided to add a 2nd router to my home network.  I have a large house and was having connection issues in certain spots.  My set up is:
    Cable Modem ---(ethernet)--> Airport Extreme --(ethernet)--> Time Capsule
    I have the network set up as a single network (Time Capsule extends the network).  I followed all the Apple instructions and everything set up with ease and worked flawlessly.  I was able to confirm that devices would switch from the Extreme to the Time Capsule depending on location.  It was wonderful.  Wifi bliss in my home!
    Yesterday morning, I showed that I was connected to my wifi network but I could not get any data.  Airport Utility showed Green Lights next to my 2 devices but an Orange light next to "Internet" with a status of Disconnected.  I assumed it was an issue on my ISP side and went through a modem reboot and some other steps before confirming that I did in fact have an internet connection (hard wired ethernet from modem to MBP).  I went through the same steps as before (after restores through the Airport Utility menu) and my wifi network comes back when the Airport Extreme is connected but as soon as the Time Capsule is connected, the Airport Utility shows that I am disconnected from the internet and I have no data transfer.
    After hours of soft resets, hard resets, and factory resets including changing the name of the network and resetting/unplugging the cable modem I became convinced that the Airport Extreme was the culprit (I bought it "new" open box on ebay).  So I bought a brand new Airport Extreme and the same thing happened.  I tried various configurations including taking the Time Capsule out of the equation and going Airport Extreme to Airport Extreme and absolutely nothing works.  Bottom line: Once I add a 2nd hard wired router to extend my network, I lose my connection to the internet and it says "Disconnected" at the top point of the Airport Utility.  When I have a single router connected, everything works fine (I am using it right now).
    Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this?  I did not do any updates or anything odd.  I just woke up one morning and something that worked for 4 months flawlessly is completely impossible to use.

    I figured out the issue and resolved the problem.  The Airport Extreme had WAN in from the Cable Modem and LAN out to the Time Capsule and to my DirecTV Home Cinema kit.  I re-set up everything with all unnecessary LAN connections disconnected and it worked.  I plug in the DirecTV LAN line and it all goes down again.  It looks like the DirecTV Cinema device was frozen and causing the issue.  Once I pulled the plug and rebooted it, everything went back online.
    I have no idea why a frozen DirecTV Cinema device would cause this problem but it was definitely the culprit.  Now I have an extra Airport Extreme.  Sigh.

    What Router Would Be Best If Using Two PlayStation 3 Consoles That  Are Connected To The Same Broadband Internet Connection? My Two Cousins Aren't Able To Connect To The Same Lobby Party Together As I Am To Play COD MW3. They Have Tried Having Both Consoles Hardwired to the Router But The Same Problem Of Having Only One Of My Two Cousins To Be Able To Connect To The Lobby Party While The Other One Can't Connect.  Thanks For Any Help With This Issue.

    My router easily handles 2-4 PS3s at a time during Uncharted multiplayer and its a few years old.  Its a Linksys Wireless N (model no. WRT150N).  Like I said, its not the newest but it handles all our consoles just fine.  My internet speed is 24mbps, maybe your cousins need a faster connection? Hope this helps.
