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.

The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

  • What is the best router for mugs connectivity

                       i am looking for best networking institute in India, for optical networking please suggest, have heard about Networkers Zone (http://networkerszone.com/) , however needs suggestion and what is the best router for mugs connectivity.

    For training on the Cisco Optical I would rrecommend Fastlane http://www.fastlane.si/ they would be able to fullfill your training requirements either in India or at another location even at the Cisco Factory in Monza, they can tailor courses to your specific requirements and also do switching and routing courses too, I have know one of the instructors for over 10 years they are very good.
    As far as recommending the best router, that all depends on the application, not what you mean by mugs connectivity, I know what mugs is in English but not sure if thats what you mean or if it is an acronym for something else   in any case if you post in the router section of Net-Pro with your specific requirements I'm sure someone woule be able to help/advise accordingly.

  • What is the cheapest route for replacing an iphone?

    Super glue dripped onto my iPhone running in around my home button. It works half the time, when it don't it just keeps bringing up Siri.
    I just got my phone bill lowered with the new rates so I really do not want to be making payments on a new phone. I heard it will cost $200 to get it repaired at an Apple store. Is that correct? I looked on eBay for an iphone but I might be buying more trouble. What is the most economical route.  I've been looking on AT&T site it seems like they got you coming and going. What to do?

  • What is the best Router for Gaming?

    Alright, at the moment I have a "G" wireless router, which I bought it for pure gaming reasons, well I am thinking about upgrading 'cause I am having some lag and poor connections and I want to enhance my connection for online play.  I won't lie I am a addicted hardcore gamer, so I need a good router! ^_^
    Well I been looking at this WRT330N , which this one interests me a lot!
    http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859632665&...
    I know it's about $200 but I am willing to spend the money if it's worth it! If anyone can share anything about this router or a cheaper and better router please do so!

    I started shopping for a wired router to handle a claimed higher speed from my cable provider. I want something that runs at full incoming wire speed. I did not think I would care a lot about special gaming features. One of the techs at work uses the GamerLounge which is made by D-Link and he loves it for gaming. It runs a little over $100. It has a number of features to help automate the setup for gaming and to help debug gaming connection problems. I do not know if Linksys makes anything that is specifically targetted at gaming. You might want to read the various hardware reviews and decide which features you think will be important to you. Linksys has product documentation that describes the products but you will have to understand the terms used in the brochures to decide which device might be best for you. I have a Linksys for wireless support and it is rather slow compared to a wired connection because I run encrypted. If you want to run games on wireless, then published benchmark results may be the number one item on your list. Some routers may have much faster wireless performance than others. Cost will probably be a factor but more expensive does not always mean better. I have a WRT54G V5 and Tom's Hardware has a review discussing some of the serious limitations in V5. I stopped using it as a main router and went back to an old 10 Mbps wired router connected to the cable modem to get better performance. The WRT54G V5 sort of works when used as a wireless access point but Windows file and printer sharing do not work. So ... it all depends on which features are most important to you. Absolute best case is to talk with a friend who has a working setup that they like. Then you can decide if their priorities for choosing features match your priorities.

  • What are the new features for the latest version ...

    what are the new features for the latest version of N6300? can you cite me the newest features?

    The latest update was just bug fixes and improved stability, no new features. That is nearly always the case with series 40 phones like the 6300.
    Nokia do not make the changelogs available publicly but often they do appear on unofficial sites. Searching google may provide you with more detailed info that cannot be posted here.

  • What is the naming scheme for Versions

    V1_ON_JONAHS VISIT
    I get that "V1" is the version number
    and that "Jonah's Visit" is the title of my script, but what does the "ON" stand for?

    Thanks!  That makes sense, now that I know what it means.
    Perhaps this would be good information to include on your Help page at https://helpx.adobe.com/story/help/save-versions-document.html  or one of the others that talks about saving versions.

  • I currently am using ML 10.8.5, what's the best way for me to upgrade to Yosemite 10?

    Hi Folks,
    I am currently using ML 10.8.5. What is the best procedure for me to follow to upgrade to Yosemite 10.0?
    Is Yosemite stable enough to upgrade to?
    I currently am running MAC OSX on an Apple iMac 27 late 2012 with 24GB of system ram, and 1TB Fusion HDD
    I have as a back up drive an external 1TB FW800 using Super Duper as cloning of my current 10.8.5
    I also use another external FW800 3TB HDD running TM
    Many thanks for any helpful suggestions

    you can no longer send to a group and now have to look for a + in the right corner and click on each addressee
    I welcome that.  Mass e-mails have a downside:
    You get implicated in them when you least want to.
    You get blocked by internet providers preventing you from sending to your contacts who are on those internet providers even when you haven't sent any, because someone else has you on their address list who does send mass e-mails, and you get "blacklisted."
    You get summarily ignored by others if you are believed to be a sender of them, as they will probably use the fact you mass e-mailed as a means of blocking you.
    Use BCC when mass e-mailing.
    You can always make your list of e-mails in a comma delimited fashion, and copy/paste it to the field you want.   

  • What is the right update for Lion OS X 10.7.5 ?Is it Lion OS X Mavericks or Lion OS X 10.8 and above?

    I bought a Macbook Air 11" in 2011. It is currently running Lion OS X 10.7.5. What is the right update for this ?Is it Lion OS X Mavericks or Lion OS X 10.8 and above?

    10.7.5 is the latest version of Lion. The next operating system that was released by Apple was 10.8.x Mountain Lion. Apple have, in the last two weeks, released a newer version of OS X - 10.9 Mavericks.
    It is a completely new operating system, not an update to Lion.
    Mavericks is available as a free upgrade (as opposed to update) via the Mac App Store in the Apple menu, but before upgrading (if you choose to) ensure that any applications you rely on are compatible with the latest OS. Also, for Mavericks to run well 4gb of RAM is recommended.

  • What is the best replacement for iDVD

    I just bought a new iMac and found out that iDVD has vanished. What's the best approch for making slide shows from iPhoto and burning to a  DVD?

    Sorry, but I haven't found a way to burn a movie directly from iMovie since iMovie HD (6) (note: burn project to disk):
    Whereas, there are no options to burn in the current iMovie version:
    You can share it to online sites and you can export it, but you can't burn it.

  • HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    Is/was failing or has failed?
    If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.
