WD TV Live HD & Actiontec router/modem [FiOS]

I recently switched to Verizon's FiOS service and I can no longer connect to the internet with my WD TV Live HD box. I have an Actiontec MI424-WR router/modem. The WD box worked fine for the last year or so with my other ISP. I have a wired connection and can see the WD box when I go to the admin screen of the router/modem.
Can someone please help me out?
Thank you!

#1 What is the exact brand and model of the WD TV Live HD box?
#2 What is the hard version of that router?
For example Actiontec, MI-424-MI, Rev C.

Using an Actiontec Router/modem

Hi,
I am helping a neighbor hook up her wireless network.
she has cable internet (she just switched from dsl on Qwest which she had a dsl wireless router/modem from)
Can anyone tell me if we can use this on the cable network?
I was thinking :
Hook PC to Cablebox, cable box to Actiontec.
Actiontec wirelessly transmits to Macs.
Any help would be great!! Laura

Laura,
The new ISP will know better what hardware (cable modem) is compatible with their system. You can also check with the manufacturer whether their combo modem/router can be used with cable service. Without knowing what modem/router you have it's hard (for me) to research. However, in as much as you have the info you can do the research.

What is the latest current version of the Actiontec router for FiOS internet?

Hello,
I will be moving in a couple of months and I'm wondering if I should turn in my current router and ask for a new one when I get the service installed at my new house, vs taking my current router with me. I've had mine for over 2 years now. The main issue I have is that the signal is sort of weak. I will be moving to a much bigger place and I'm worried the wireless won't be strong enough to reach end to end or outside.
Can someone confirm the latest and greatest Actiontec model # of the router that they are installing, and I can check to see if it's something newer than what I have.
Thanks

The Verizon routers do have a good amount of range on them. I'm using an ActionTec MI424-WR Rev. D running DD-WRT on my DSL connection, which replaced an older and slowly dying Linksys WRT54GXv1. The ActionTec seems to broadcast just as far as the Linksys does. Transfer wise when I go out that far, I don't know how nicely it works yet but I've seen no issues with it in my home. Other homes with the FiOS routers, it is generally due to the positioning of the router (Basements are terrible places, signals don't go down nicely) or due to being on a noisy channel. In some cases, an antenna replacement is all that is needed, and additionally, disabling the Auto-Scan function and setting a channel manually on the router work wonders as well.
The Rev. G should be able to get better range by design, since it is N compliant and supports MIMO. The Rev. F and older routers do have two antennas, one internal and one external SMA antenna, so they do support Diversity as a result which helps with range and speed.
I do agree with you however with the routers needing a better design. More RAM for future proofing, more antennas (Maybe 6 Internal, two external?) with Simultaneous dual-band Wireless N, Gigabit and better firmware design would be nice. Wouldo also be nice to see the return of Ethernet installs comes around, instead of it being for only the 150Mbps connections. It'd be less headaches in the long run and better service quality despite some additional install time and more cabling.

Connecting linksys to fios actiontec router

About six months ago my family got verizon FiOS. They came in and set up everything and even took the liberty to remove the linksys router I had before. Well, their Actiontec router doesnt really satisfy me as well as my linksys router did before and I would like to use my linksys router instead. Unfortunately, I am not tech savvy and was hoping someone here could help me.
I tried to connect my linksys directly to the actiontec one through an ethernet cable but that did not yield any results. I have also looked on other forums but to no avail - mainly because the explanations given are way above my head and involve words like coax and throwing around abbreviations for things which I do not understand.
If someone who has maybe had a similar predicament to mine or is just knowledgable to this sort of thing could give me a ste by step explanation, it would be greatly appreciated!
please remember I am not very savvy in the technology area, so please dumb it down.
Thanks in advance!

Hi... 1st plug a PC directly to the Linksys router alone. Then on this particular PC... open up internet explorer (it's ok if it says "page could not be displayed")... and type on the address bar just the following numbers: 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin)...
This process should bring you to a Linksys page... look for something labeled as the "Local IP Address" or the LAN IP Address... if the value is 192.168.1.1.. change this to 192.168.5.1... then save the settings... (page would not be displayed after this.. again that's ok).....
Then go to the DOS prompt (start---run---type in cmd) .... and type the command ipconfig/release (hit enter)... and then ipconfig/renew (hit enter).....
Next connect the Actiontech router to the internet/WAN port of the Linksys router. Then do a powercycle. That is turn off all of the devices... router - modem and PC's.. then turn them on in the order of modem--routers-and PC's.......
After this process, you should now hopefully be online on the PC connected to the Linksys router.......

Settings for fios actiontec router using coax when adding time capsule as ac router

I would like to set up my new time capsule as my main wireless router on a fios coax-wan internet that is currently using the m1424wr revisiion I router.
What are the settings i should use for the actiontec versus the time capsule and what is the best way to set it up to take advantage of the AC wireless on the TC without losing set top box features providing by the actiontec router over coax?
I got the TC to conenct via WAN to LAN on actiontec but i think that may limit my ability to take advantage of the capabilities of the time capsule.
Any suggestions ont the best set up given I have multiple devices both iOS, OSX and need relaiable coverage of a 3 story town house.
Thanks!
Tim

Best setup is to bridge the TC.. which I think is how you set it up.
I got the TC to conenct via WAN to LAN on actiontec but i think that may limit my ability to take advantage of the capabilities of the time capsule.
You do miss the guest wireless network and BTMM on the TC itself... but otherwise it is the best for everything else.
Tell us if you need these functions.
To cover a 3 storey town house a single wireless router is not going to be adequate.. if you can place the TC on a different floor to the modem that could be very helpful, with ethernet to link the two.
Otherwise you need an Express or two so the coverage can be extended.

Using Westell 7500 DSL Modem as Secondary Router with Actiontec Router?

Hi, I had just recently switched to Verizon FiOS internet from Verizon DSL service, and I'm happy with the service so far. But I have found the range of the Actiontec router to fall short of what I need it to be. I was wondering whether anyone here has tried repurposing the Westell 7500 modem as a secondary router?
I spent the better part of two days looking up ways to do this and couldn't find anything regarding my specific situation. I know one can repurpose a DSL modem as a router to be used with a cable internet modem (have not done this myself), and I also stumbled upon this FAQ (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12506) on how to connect a secondary router to the Actiontec router. However I couldn't find anything specifically regarding the Westell modem. I've tweaked many settings in the modem without success.
Is this even possible?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

#1 You logged into your primary router, found the DHCP range, and re-adjusted it as need be (From step 1 to step 5) of http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12506 ?
#2 If not, do that first.
#3 If so, great.
If the Westell is using the Red and Black Firmware - In the Westell..
a) Select the My Network icon, then select Network Connections from the left menu.
b) On the Broadband Connection screen, click the word LAN
c) On the next screen remove the checkmark from Private LAN DHCP Server enable.
d) Where it says Modem IP Address, make that IP Address outside of the primary router's DHCP Server Range.
For exampe if the Primary router's IP Address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.11, the Ending IP Address is 192.168.1.254 - then you could make the secondary router's LAN IP 192.168.1.2
e) Click Apply or Save Settings.
As addressed on http://www.dslreports.com/faq/13600
there is also the White and Blue firmware.
If your Westell looks more like the sample screens that you see at
http://myplace.frontier.com/~paradise.cowgirl/6100.htm
Then
a) In the Westell select Configuration and select Private LAN Connection.
b) Uncheck Private LAN DHCP Server Enable
c) Where it says Modem IP Address, make that IP Address outside of the primary router's DHCP Server Range.
For exampe if the Primary router's IP Address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.11, the Ending IP Address is 192.168.1.254 - then you could make the secondary router's LAN IP 192.168.1.2
d) Click Apply or Save Settings.
Please note this only how to convert a router (including a DSL modem) into acting as a Hub/Switch/Wap.
This is not how to use this device as your primary router with any broadband type of device that is not (or can not be) configured to handle the public IP.
For example, not how to have a Westell 6100 be in bridge mode (bridge-bridge, not bridge-routed bridge or not PPPoE) and have your Westell 7500 handle the public IP (bridge-routed bridge or PPPoE).

Airport Express and Fios Actiontec router compatible?

I have multiple Airport Expresses and an Airport Extreme. Verion FIOS supplied it own Actiontec router which hooks into their Optical Network Terminal. Since the Actiontec router took over, I've removed the Airport Extreme and the Airport Expresses work only to receive iTunes music from my computers. The Expresses do not extend the WiFi signal anymore. The Actontec router is powerful but at the far end of the house, I no longer get a WiFi signal. Previously with my Extreme and Expresses, I could extend the signal wherever I needed it.
I wonder if I can plug my Extreme into a hardwired LAN terminal from the router and use it to create its own WiFi network in the areas of the house where there is no signal?

I wonder if I can plug my Extreme into a hardwired LAN terminal from the router and use it to create its own WiFi network in the areas of the house where there is no signal?
Yes, this is possible if the AirPort Extreme stays permanently connected using an Ethernet cable.
If you want to create one "big" network, use the same wireless network name and password on the AirPort Extreme that you use on the Actiontec router. Setup the AirPort Extreme to "create a wireless network". The Extreme must be in Bridge Mode to do this.
If you configure the AirPort Extreme with a different wireless network name, then you will need to log on to that network separately each time that you move your computer close to the AirPort Extreme.....then log back on again to the Actiontec when the computer moves back near that router.
If the AirPort Express devices are located where they can receive a good wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme....and you need even more wireless coverage.....,the Expresses could be reconfigured to "extend" the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme like you were doing before.

How can I get my Cisco wireless router to wirelessly connect to my Verizon Fios Actiontec router?

I have Verizon Fios for internet, tv and phone. The Verizon Actiontec router is connected with a ethernet cable into my desktop and the internet is up and running. Now I bought a Cisco Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router, and I wanted to connect it to another desktop two floors up. I set up the Cisco router according to the instructions, but I'm not able to connect to the internet. It shows that my computer was able to get a Local Network connection, but internet connection keeps failing.... I tried changing the IP address. But I'm confused about the whole thing. Is the Default gateway number suppose to be the same for both routers? Is it possible that the Actiontec router isnt giving off a strong enough wireless signal? I'm open for suggestions! Thanks

Mac or Windows machine?
Is the WRT connected directly to the upstairs computer? I don't think you can use the WRT that way?
Have you had a look here?:http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/General-Linksys-Router-FAQs/td-p/4286
I THINK you would have to have a WETxx (Ethernet Adapter) instead?
If it connects to the Internet even breifly then I suppose that means your connected but it may be losing the signal and failng. You would porbably have ot get a WAP(Access Point) and use it as a repeater.
I'm a bit rusty on the names so I hope i got them right, hope it helps.....

Direct Telephone Number to Call to Return ActionTec DSL Wireless Router Modem

The Verizon repairman repaired problem with our new ADT alarm interfering with our DSL internet connection. However, connection is very slow (like dial-up). He said we need to replace our Actiontec DSL Wireless Router Modem because it is "dropping packets". What is the direct phone number at Verizon to call to get info on how to return the modem and get a new one? We own the modem (bought it 2 years ago from Verizon).

I recommend calling 800-567-6789 and I believe it's option 1 for tech support, and option 1 for Windows, and option 1 for High Speed Internet (HSI).
A Verizon Online tech support consultant should be able to place an order to drop ship replacement equipment. I am unaware of any potential charge to do so. I believe with HSI modems and routers have a one year warranty under which Verizon will absorb the cost of a replacement.

FIOS/VPNs/Actiontec Router issues

I have been with Verizon for over a year now and am still no nearer finding a solution to my VPN issues. I connect to a VPN in the UK for work (in Media) and have major issues streaming video, downloading big files etc etc. From my research on the web I have narrowed the issue down to the following 1- Coax vs Ethernet - I understand COAX is unable to handle certain streaming scenarios, so I have had Cat5 installed running directly to my Actiontec router. This still has not solved the issue 2- Actiontec Router- apparently the router is unable to handle large packets of data and falls over, or in other words, it has ome inherent issues. I have read posts regarding bridging the router with another brand, but as you are still using the Actiontec surely the issues will still be present. Data still has to pass from the ONT into the Actiontec, then to the other router. In my mind as you still have the Actiontec in the loop the issues should still remain. 3- Speed / Quality - using standard Verizon im getting 25/25 no problem. Using VPN i'm lucky to get 2/1, plus a very poor quality and high packet data loss. Due to the above I am at a loss what to do next. My thoughts are.......................... Can I just run the ethernet cable directly into a new Router? Tried running it directly to my laptop but I am unable to connect to the internet. I take it the Actiontec also acts as a modem (great!). I would just use the Actiontec for VOD facets Are there any Quality of Service adjusts I can make to the Actiontec router to improve things? Will adding a second router and connecting a LAN output solve my issues as i'm still relying on the Actiontec? Any help would be great rgds Marc

Just a thought, why not hook it up in the reverse fashion.
Run from ONT to personal router. Daisy chain the Verizon router behind the personal router for the STB's and have all other devices connect to the personal router. All Verizon TV features will still work this way and take the Verizon router out of the internet loop.
Or try and find a Motorola NIM 100 and take the Verizon router out of the loop all together. With the NIM you can hook up ANY router to the ethernet and then connect the NIM to one of the ports. Then connect your coax to the NIM. Bingo, all TV services are fully functional (except possibly the on screen Caller ID and Remote DVR access) But otherwise the guide, widget, and VOD services all continue to work and you dont have to worry about any of the Verizon equipment at all. I personally have mine set up this way. I have a Dlink Gaming router with a Motorola NIM behind it and it works fine. I've not tried the remote DVR access as I've never need it and I dont have Verizon phone so I dont get the caller ID, so I cant check them. But all other Video services work perfectly with this set up and I dont have to deal with any of the Verizon software.

FIOS, Ipv6 and actiontec router

Hello,
As many of you have noticed there is very little information available about Verizon's plans to upgrade FIOS to Ipv6. I have the Actiontect MI424WR Rev C router which does not support Ipv6. Now, I don't even know if Ipv6 is available yet in my area (which is the Maryland Suburbs of Washington DC). So, does anyone know what the status of Ipv6 is and also what will FIOS do for customers who have older routers (which Verizon supplied us) that don't support Ipv6?
Thanks

My Actiontec router is over 3 years old but don't know what revC means? I just spoke to Verizon about a problem I'm having with a brand new flat panel TV that keeps losing the internet connection and the only way to get it back on-line is to turn off the router wait 2 minutes and turn it back on again. Should I be asking for a replacement/upgrade?
Model: MI424WR Rev. I is the newest revision right now, and has the redband around the front and not silver.
Rev. C means Hardware revision C. The Rev. A-D were Generation 1 routers. The in Model and serial number label. The newer routers have more memory among other things, a larger Network Address Translation table, and I believe a faster processor, thus Generation 2. Labeled on the Model Rev E or greater.
If you have one of the older routers Rev. A-D, I would contact tech support and ask for a new replacement. They should not charge for this since your router is obsolete and causing issues. The older routers are fine perhaps at 15/5 speeds, but as the speeds increased along with the number of simultaneous connections customers would make, the older routers started having issues.

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2. Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

Losing Connection to FiOS ActionTec router

I recently got FiOS, which came with one of the newest models of router from ActionTec (so new it isn't on their support site). I have the wireless router set for mixed (b & g) mode. I am able to connect with my iMac G5 and connect my AE in client mode for AirTunes, both on 802.11g, with the network secured using WPA.
The problem is my aging PowerBook 1 GHz; it sees the network, logs in, gets an IP, and can operate on the network for 15 to 30 minutes. After that, even if it is downloading something, it stops communicating on the newtork even though the signal is strong, and it shows that it is connected to the network. The ActionTec router control panel does not see it anymore as a network device. Turning off AirPort and turning it back on restores the connection. AirPort is currently the primary network connection.
I have gone through the ActionTec control panel looking for ideas. I have turned off the Ethernet port for this network location. I have tried interference robustness. Again, the machine shows a full strength connection and shows it is connected to my network. There is another network from one of my neighbors, but the other devices are not affected. Also, moving the laptop right next to the router doesn't improve the situation.
Problem started under 10.4.8, persists now. BTW, machine worked fine when AE was set up as the router when I had DSL.
PowerBook G4 15" Titanium 1GHZ Mac OS X (10.4.9) 784MB RAM

Just like the KB said, the only way to get reconnected is to turn AirPort on and back off.

It may also be in the developer tools. I can't remember where I got it. After downloading it. I modified it for my purposes and then had it launch when I logged in (Startup Items). It did the job, but every time the connection goes down, you do have to let the script do its thing, interrupting your work. However, at least it does it automatically.
I finally fixed the problem by getting a new Santa Rosa MacBook Pro. Works like a charm.

WiFi problems after changing from WEP to WPA on Actiontec router

I need some help/advice--I've searched the forums but am not seeing my exact problem described so decided to describe it to see if the community can help me figure out what to do now. The situation is this: After recently learning about the insecurity of WEP "security" I decided to change the security settings on our Fios router (an Actiontec MI424WR, Rev C). I first tried to change the settings to WPA2, but then my husband's elderly Dell laptop could not connect, so I changed them to WPA. At first everything seemed fine--we could connect to the internet from our computers (my MacBook Pro, his Dell, and various devices--phones, kindle, iPad).
But we soon noticed some strange problems that I was never able to resolve:
I could never get either of two Airport Expresses to connect to the network, even after repeated tries (with hard resets in between)
Within an hour or two after rebooting the router, I was no longer able to connect wirelessly to a NAS device that is connected to the router via an ethernet cable--I could no longer even see it in the Mac finder. I could see it in Windows Explorer from the Dell but could not connect.
Similarly, I lost contact with a Sonos bridge unit that is also connected to the router via an ethernet cable. In this case the loss of contact was sporadic--various devices that connect over WiFi to the bridge could sometimes see it, sometimes not.
Resetting the router would temporarily restore wireless access to the devices hardwired to the router, but I would always lose the NAS device completely after an hour or two and the Sonos bridge sporadically. The computers and devices, however, had no problems connecting to the router itself and from there to the internet.
I finally gave up and returned the security to WEP, and now everything is fine: the Airport Expresses connect, the NAS remains available, and the connection to the Sonos bridge over WiFi is robust (the Sonosnet mesh, if anyone is wondering, was never affected).
I can't understand why switching to WPA caused such problems, but it clearly did, since switching back to WEP eliminated them completely. The simplest explanation is that there is some problem with the wifi portion of the rev C router that only becomes apparent in certain circumstances, though it seems weird that both wired peripherals and wireless airport expresses were affected.
Whatever the causes of the problem, now I'm back to wondering how to improve the security of my network. Should I:
See if I can convince Verizon to replace the modem with a newer version? We have had this one for more than 4 years, since we first got fios.
Just go ahead and purchase the most recent version of the Actiontec router (rev G)? It's only about $115--worth it to me if I can use WPA with it.
Buy our own wireless router, perhaps an Airport Extreme, and turn off the wireless on the Actiontec.
Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy, and I really don't like feeling as if the network is vulnerable, especially given how extensively we use it.
Becky

This doesn't sound too uncommon. I had similar issues in the past with some networks I've worked with that were resolved by moving the router actually to WPA2 or by updating the firmware. The ActionTec MI424WR Rev. F, G, and I require the use of WPA2 since they have Wireless N radios in them so WPA wouldn't be of much use. My old Linksys WRT54GX also had similar issues, but that was a result of the Wireless Radio dying along with a mix of newer hardware not playing nice with the old, no-longer-supported firmware. I retired that router, only to bring it back into service as a Wired router at a friend's home (shutting off Wireless and setting up another as an AP) which replaced an old BEFSX41 which didn't have enough power to handle his Cable connection.
Besides a few software bugs at play somewhere, there isn't much that could cause the wireless to slowly stop working like that. I would suggest moving back to WPA2. For the older Dell laptop if it's running Windows XP, make sure at least Service Pack 3 is installed if it hasn't been getting updated. Also, check for updated drivers for the Wireless card since they may be needed as well. A bit of searching on the Wireless card should also indicate whether or not it supports WPA2 encryption. Anything from the mid-2000s should support it.

Linksys WVC11B wireles cam & Actiontec router

I have a Linksys WVC11B wireless webcam that's been a lot of fun to use to monitor my dog when I'm not home. It was working fine when I had Comcast and a Linksys cable modem/router combo. I switched to FiOS this week and am having some trouble getting this webcam to work wirelessly with the Actiontec FiOS modem/router.
I have a hunch, so let me share it.
The webcam has an ethernet port and is designed to let you first connect to the router via ethernet so you can get into the webcam's settings and enter the correct fields for wireless networking: SSID, WEP key, static IP address (or dynamic if you want), etc.
This wired configuration part works fine for me. But, when I disconnect the ethernet cable and power cycle the camera, I can't see it on my local network wirelessly. I've selected 192.168.1.9 as the camera's static IP, and that works fine via ethernet, but nada on wireless.
My hunch is that this is related to the router and its "device expiration rules". When I try to go wireless, I see on the router's main page, the Webcam listed as an "ethernet" device that is "inactive." My hunch is that because I had previously used this webcam via ethernet, the router is not allowing a change to wireless for that device. Maybe if I could accelerate the expiration of this inactive device within the router's settings, I would be ok. Can someone please share how? Is it as simple as power cycling the Actiontec router?
Two other alternatvies I thought of today and will try when I have time (I have a 2-year old, so I need time without her in the house) are: Just before powering down the webcam and disconnecting the ethernet cable for the first time, I should change in the webcam's settings its name and its static IP. Maybe this will "fool" the router into thinking this is a new device, so it won't get "confused" with this device which was formerly ethernet, and is now wireless.
#2, I still have my Linksys router, so I can use it to configure my webcam for the FiOS router's settings. Then, when I'm ready to go wireless with the FiOS system, it will "see" the camera for the first time as a wireless device, so this should avoid the confusion issue above.
Many thanks in advance for advice.
(Hopefully going the next step to port forwarding will be easier)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you set your camera to obtain an an IP address automatically it will show up in the device list in the router. Sometimes ARP will cause the device to register the static address with the Actiontec but not always. If the Actiontec issues the address it will always show. This makes port forwarding easier.
In the Actiontec under the advanced section. IP address distribution. Connection list will allow you to set an IP address to be assigned based on the device's MAC address. This will make the camera always get the same address even if it connects wirelessly with the SSID and key to make the connection. Doing it this way will reserve the address in DHCP and prevent any conflicts with the address range of the routers DHCP server.
Some people like a static address in the device, but I have found this also works well. A fixed lease in DHCP lets the router manage the address. This may work better with wireless. I am sure there are diferent opinions on this. I have all my wireless devices set this way in my routers DHCP.
Just in case you lost the manual. You will need to select the revision number, but it shows only 1.0, and the Page does not like Fire Fox. I had to use IE to pull up the PDF. Unfriendly scripting.
