I was able to connect, but the connection was worse than having a 28k phone line connection. After several hours back and forth with Verizon support, XBOX suppor and Actiontec and no success I decided to take matters into my own hands. I started searching the web and finally came across this message board and found a post with the fix to this problem - I copied it for you below. **A note, if you changed the settings on your router, you will need to reset it for the patch to work.** Thank you Munkiez!

Upgrade Works!!!

THANK YOU BABY JESUS!

The upgrade has worked. What I did was download the upgrade file from the link provided by ColdWater:

www2.verizon.net/micro/actiontec/actiontec.asp

And saved it to my hard drive. Then i went to the router page (192.168.1.1) and went to advanced and selected Firmware upgrade. From there I did a force and browsed to the file from my computer. It took about a minute and I watched my router restart. Then the page refreshed and I had to login again.

Next, I went to my xbox and plugged in my wireless router. I had to edit my setting and redetect my wireless network. Reinput my WEP key and voila it worked! So great.

Let me know if anyone is having issues, I dont mind helping after all the help that has been given around here lately.

See ya on Live WIRELESSLY!

Ok once inside you will see a more detailed page of your broadband connection in if you scroll down you will see were it says ip distribution CLICK on it Ok now scroll down to DHCP server in press it in then a new screen pops up asking for a starting ip address in an ending ip address enter this fore your starting ip address 192.168.1.1 and for the ending ip address enter 192.168.1.254 Ok NOW IT ASKS FOR YOUR SUBNET MASK TYPE IN THIS 255.255.255.0 next you will need to put in a lease time type in 5000 in becarfull not to leve in spaces are else it will say incorrect same thing applys to the information at the top be sure to hit back space after you hit enter because hitting enter will add a space and the space will count as a number for some reason. anyways once you are done hit APPLY at the bottom of the page IF YOU DONE THINGS RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE THIS ON THE NEXT PAGE RUNNING A DHCP SERVER ON A LAN DEVICE IS VERY UNUSALL ARE YOU SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO HIT APPLY IN YOU ARE DONE. you should be hosting great games after this anyways who loves you me or them verizon being them so thats it talk to yall latter.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20282383 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:23:06 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20282382 anon : duplicate post]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20282382 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:22:56 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20282342 BLUNTED 1 : I run 3 16 man servers and play at the same time on other servers and never have any issue with my speeds slowing down or router needing to be rebooted.

Hate to break it to you but most of us bought the 360 to play games. The 360 is not an HDDVD player. You need an add-on for that. Has zero effect on the games or any of the LIVE functions.

How you do this is ease guys.
First make sure that in your computer you have windows file and sharing enable. And if you are using a firewall in you computer you need enable file and sharing as well in the firewall. Also some firewall you can allow file and sharing in your subnet that is you home network.
In the actiontect router you have to go firewall setting and do port forwarding to you Xbox for the NAT, doing so the NAT will say OPEN. Note: You need to know the IP of the XBOX 360 in order to do the PORT FORWARDING. How you know the ip well in the router it say my network in same screen you will see all devices with their IP addressing using the router.
My advice is to assign a static ip to the Xbox 360 in this way you know what ip the Xbox is using and will use all the time that it is connect to live.

Note: you do not have to disable any firewall or anything crazy to make the thing work. Just be patient and read read read read. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19909216 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:47:27 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19892439 anon : Hey guys, any idea why i cant connect my 360 to my windows media player?

This causes problems with Xbox Live. Furthermore, we have two 360's, so that complicated things as well. I upgraded the router's original firmware to 4.0.16.1.55.0.10.4.3 and still had the same issues. Setting the DMZ to my Xbox's IP solved the NAT for ONE BOX (hardwired), but that sill left the issue of the adapter and NAT on the other. Fortunately, I have an original wi-fi adapter and used that with no connectivity issues, sans the moderate NAT. I set port forwarding for that box and it didn't make any difference with the NAT. When I saw there was a new firmware upgrade (4.0.16.1.56.0.10.7), I instantly upgraded. BAD IDEA. My router continually rebooted after that. Fortunately, I still had the file for firmware 4.0.16.1.55.0.10.4.3 and downgraded. Well, it reset everything to stock. All my settings went back to default *head banging on table* and I'm thinking I'm back to the same old carp. Well.....
GOOD NEWS: THE DOWNGRADE SOLVED EVERYTHING! While I had the hassle of resetting my password, settings, SSID, etc., the new 360 adapter works fine, the NAT is OPEN on both boxes, and the firmware automatically set port forwarding for both boxes.
If this is fluke, I'll take it. Hopefully, not, and my downgrade solution solves your problems. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19717000 Tue, 01 Jan 2008 00:20:33 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19707523 brunjest : I have the same problem.

XBOX 360 has IP failure with Wired Actiontec Router

I just setup a new Xbox 360. I have an existing network based on ActionTec router Model MI424-WR Rec. C from Verizon FIOS. I have wireless pc working, linksys bridge for roku device, linux file server, vonage phone adapter and a couple of switches. All of that stuff is working fine.

Also, when I called Verizon, they upgraded the ActionTec FW to latest, i.e. 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.7

But when I do the Media Connect test via Xbox 360 it fails with IP Connect failure.

It is hard wired.

I have tried static IP address and that also fails.

I called Verizon and Carl helped me update the ActionTec router with the new firmware. That did not help.

I called MIcrosoft Xbox support and had one person that was of no use. The second person said that I had to call Verizon because the Actiontec router is not support. He did not know what FIOS was. He said I needed to call Verizon back to get a different router. No help there.

I googled the web and found lots of issues about the wireless but did not find same problem that I am having with IP Failure.

Tomorrow I will take my Xbox to a friends house and test it there, their Xbox connects just fine, so I can make sure the network card in the Xbox is ok.

Any other suggestions???

We have phone, tv, and net.

Sorry to be lengthy, but the information may help others and Verizon!

We had the old DLink wireless with the NIM box which is how the coax connected with the Dlink router and you get the guide and VOD on the TV. They replaced our NIM and Dlink with an Actiontec M1424WR (there are actually 3 different models with the same number; boxy square one (older I think) the curved black and silver with the power button near the antenna and the same style with the antenna lower).

You must do the FIRMWARE upgrade as listed in this post. It is easy to do and Verizon even has a PDF with pictures on how to do it. Once that is done, if you have the new style Actiontec, you need to follow the instructions for making the NAT show up as OPEN and not moderate.

I did all this, and the router kept power cycling on its own. To the point that you could not even open a web page as the power cycled.

1st call to FIOS, oh we have a bad AC adapter and we will mail you one. A Truck cannot bring it by.

5 days and no power adapter, call FIOS again and complain that I want a truck to drop one as I have a service I cannot use. Truck drops a new AC adapter that afternoon. Hook it up, same power cycle problem.

Call FIOS for the 3rd time, on hold for an hour and gave up.

NExt morning UPS delivers a package (probably from the first call). An entirely new router (new style). I hook up the AC adapter from it, same problem.

4th call to FIOS, he says, lets hook up the new router (never mind that I have to reset all my stuff and SSID etc). We do it, seems ok. I get everything working, redo the firmware etc.

This router starts doing the same thing, power cycle, but not as quickly.

5th call to FIOS. Long time as they check things, must be the outside box. Tech is on his way. He installs a new exterior box, interior battery backup, etc. I go to test it...SAME PROBLEM!

We fool around with it and he finally goes to the truck and gets a 3rd Actiontec. Hook it up and it works fine. I go through the whole firmware update and getting it set up (did not have to do the NAT on this one and he said it was a newer style one, but it did require a firmware update). I also got him to leave me a NIM.

So I have been watching it, it still does the power cycle but will stay up for 2 or 3 hours. You get the reconnect message in the system tray and when you check the router it tells you how long it is up.

My son has been playing Xbox 360 and says he looses connection every so often (router does not power cycle) and he is getting a much weaker signal from the actiontec vs the old Dlink.

I personally think these Actiontecs are the problem. I am going to be back on the phone with Verizon. IT should not be power cycling at all. The DLINK would stay online for weeks.

(as a back up since my 8 yr old is not happy he is loosing his Halo 3 rank because it tosses him from online matches, I am going to connect a Dlink and see if it works and I have the NIM so I can dump the actiontec).

OH and a side note, I have all 3 of the routers. Verizon said just keep them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19651104 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 12:54:47 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19644802 Odyssey1002 : Did anyone have any problems with their 360 and the wired Actiontec MI424WR Rev C router?

Now i found what changed my NAT from Moderate to Open was just by going into the Router settings selecting Firewall settings selecting DMZ Host and putting in the ip address that my xbox was using
now keep in mind i had the issue of my wireless adapter not allowing me to connect to the MI424WR so i used a belkin 54g router to connect so i was able to connect but by placing the info in DMZ Host its open not just moderate like before !!! also i did use the router update which didnt fix the problem in the first place but i am not sure whether it made a difference either so keep working with it guys you will get it as i did and thanks for alllllllll your help!!!

When I test my connection on the 360 it currently fails the DNS test, earlier it was passing this test but would fail the MTU test (even with the MTU manually set at 1500). I called the Xbox Live tech support and after being switched to a supervisor they said Fios simply doesn't work with Xbox Live! Surely that’s not the case.

If somebody helps me get connected it wins a $10 donation to DD-WRT.com!

MY Linksys settings:

IP: 192.168.1.3
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Maximum DHCP users: 50
Client Lease Time: 1440 mins
WINS: 0.0.0.0
Use DNSMasq for DHCP: box is checked
I have DMZ enabled and I entered DMZ Host IP address as 192.168.2.3

Actiontec Settings:
I have the port forwarding on the router setup for Xbox (88 and 3074)
under DMZ Host IP Address I entered 192.168.1.100

I'll be glad to supply the rest of the settings I have on my Actiontec but didn't want to have a ten page post.

Thanks in advance for the help!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19476264 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 23:58:30 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19473492 cableties : You need to make sure certain ports are forwarded to the 360 from the Actiontec (or any other router).

Here are ports from Microsoft:
»support.microsoft.com/kb/908874

You should make the IP address of the 360 a fixed one, not DHCP from the Actiontec (if you have other devices hooked up, pick a fixed IP out of the range and configure the 360 with that IP so that it doesn't conflict).

BTW, my PS3 works great with the Actiontec wifi. I went hardwire with my 360.

My house has two routers...a m1424wr router for fios and my mom's mac upstairs in her room, my moms comp on a wired connection to the m1424.

Now, when I try to connect wirelessly to the M1424, the xbox live test fails at ip adress...cuz it doesnt have update, yet if I try to sign on to the sonicwall, it fails on dns. I then looked it up online, and inputed the manual verizon DNS, which is 4.2.2.1 (i think) and viola...it worked! Pretty fishy eh?

I'm gonna see where i can get in my house with my xbox 360 and a 12 inch tv with an av input.

I had the same problem, my wireless network adapter was not connecting to my wireless network. The problem was with the Actiontec MI424WR.
I called Actiontec and they said that the firmware needed to be updated. They told me to call verizon to get the update.
A representative from verizon just called me. They sent me an 18 page pdf documented procedure. Its pretty much just going on a website, downloading a file then uploading it to the router and then change a couple thing. They said it should work after that.
i havent tried it yet but i will once i get home. You should call Verizon (24/7) to get the file 1-888-553-1555 or email them...... Hope it works!!!

The upgrade has worked. What I did was download the upgrade file from the link provided by ColdWater:

www2.verizon.net/micro/actiontec/actiontec.asp

And saved it to my hard drive. Then i went to the router page (192.168.1.1) and went to advanced and selected Firmware upgrade. From there I did a force and browsed to the file from my computer. It took about a minute and I watched my router restart. Then the page refreshed and I had to login again.

Next, I went to my xbox and plugged in my wireless router. I had to edit my setting and redetect my wireless network. Reinput my WEP key and voila it worked! So great.

Let me know if anyone is having issues, I dont mind helping after all the help that has been given around here lately.

It's great that they're updated the firmware for the M1424WR to fix the wireless issue, but I'm plugged directly into it, so that's somewhat irrelevant here. I have the 360 set to receive DHCP from the Actiontec. I have UPnP enable on the Actiontec to handle the opening up of ports. The majority of the time, it works just fine. I can play online without issue and my NAT status is 'Open'.

But every now and then, when I first power on my 360, it doesn't even get handed an IP, which sucks obviously. With the 360 still on, if I go and hard-code the IP, I can connect to Live again but NAT is 'moderate'. I'm assuming I could fix that by putting in the proper port forwarding rules by hand, but I'm trying to leave everything on DHCP. Furthermore, when this happens, sometimes if I just reboot the 360, then I'll get an IP via DHCP just fine.

Basically, I'd really rather leave DHCP and UPnP enabled for the sake of convenience, rather than hard-code the 360's IP and the port forwards but all this inconsistency is pissing me off.

This is very disappointing because I don't play a lot of games online. I've got about 3-4 games and spend maybe 3 hours a week, not night online.

I think Verizon needs to inform their customers they are replacing routers with that this is a problem so they will know what options they may have.

Sorry should have read. If you did port forwarding to get the first 360 to read Open NAT, then that is it. It is impossible to have both IPs forwarding to the same port. This was taken from someones response to my question above...

"You can't port forward the same ports to two different devices at the same time.

Anyway. I talked to a linksys rep and they gave me this link for a wired router setup. I adapted for my WRT54G. I'll list the steps here, but I'm not at home so I'll try to remember my settings.

»linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/lin···opview=1

1. Plug computer into linksys router (don't link the 2 routers yet)
2. Log in to your router (default IP is 192.168.1.1 I believe)
3. Change IP of linksys to 192.168.1.2 Save Settings.(you will have to re-sign-in)
4. In your DHCP settings, uncheck "Enable DHCP Server". Save Settings.
5. Under Setup -> Advanced Routing, Change working mode to router/wireless, Rip disabled, leave everything else the same. Save settings.
6. Under your wireless setup, Turn wireless on. Under the security section change information to match that of your M1424WR, SSID and keys

7. Unplug from WRT54G and plug into M1424WR. Log in through 192.168.1.1
8. Turn wirelss off. Save.
9. Change DCHP starting range to 192.168.1.3 Save.
10. Go to your DMZ settings and put in 192.168.1.2 (your WRT54G address). Save.

11. Unplug from computer and plug ethernet cable into port 1 of the M1424WR and port 1 of the WRT54G. Everything should work now (and the signal should be much better than the crappy M1424WR). You should also be able to log into both routers wirelessly now, 192.168.1.1 for M1424WR and 192.168.1.2 for WRT54G

12. For the xbox... make sure your network setting on the xbox are set to automatic. You should be able to sign on, but you will have a Moderate NAT. Log into your M1424WR (192.168.1.1) and click network. You should see your xbox listed there and with an IP that was assigned by DHCP. Remember the IP and go in to firewall settings and enable port forwarding for that IP. The ports are listed above in this thread somewhere, but on my M1424WR if you click "List all Device Settings" (or something like that, it was highlighted in red) it will give you a huge list of games. Scroll down and select XboX. Save. You should have Open NAT now when you sign on again.

I hope this helps, and when I get home I will check my settings and make sure everything I said was right. I'll probably re-post with some revisions.

Thanks

This is completely wrong and doesn't even make sense, NAT is in use no matter what, it is a router. Saying Fios uses an IP for NAT doesn't make any sense whatsover.

One thing that about the .100 - .150 IP range however is it is reserved for the set-top boxes. So if you try assigning your xbox anything withing the range of 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.150 it simply will not work, but this has nothing to do with NAT]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19149251 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 17:43:51 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19148616 anon : Is it possible to get a step by step procedure of this??

MTU is the first thing that the xbox live connection tests, if it fails it doesn't necessarily mean your MTU is off. It means you need to have ports forwarded. Easiest way to forward all necessary ports is DMZ host.

On a computer, open IE and type 192.168.1.1 into address bar type admin/password or admin/password1 for username and password (whichever one works)

Once in the router config, go to firewall settings and then go to DMZ host. Put a check box into the DMZ host and above that type in the IP address of your Xbox which will be 192.168.1.X You will need to find the exact IP under the network settings of your Xbox. After typing that IP in, click apply and your problem will be resolved :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19140764 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:52:54 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19140297 anon : It you have an Actiontec Verizon router that has sticker on it that says "Actiontec Rev C" Wireless will not work with the Xbox wireless adapater.

Assign second router a WAN IP of 192.168.1.x where x is some number between 20 and 50, to prevent conflict with dynamically-assigned hosts

The problem started 2-3 weeks ago.

I originally had my Xbox hardwired to the router, but then I got some "MTU Error"s on the Xbox diagnostics screen. I have NO idea why I'm getting this error, since my MTU settings is currently at the default of 1500. I believe you need something like 1364 MINIMUM MTU setting to run on the Xbox. I have tried many MTU settings suggested by both Xbox and Verizon tech support, all of which have failed.

I then went out and bought an Xbox Wireless Adapter from gamestop, because a friend suggested my problem would be fixed with a wireless setup. Unfortunately, it wasn't. I can get my router and everything connected to the adapter wirelessly, green light and all, but I STILL get the generic MTU Error message from my Xbox.

I also tried connecting my Linksys WRT54G (Ver. 6, only first 3 versions are supported by Xbox) to my Actiontec, and haven't had any luck. I tried this about a week ago and don't exactly recall what the problem was, I'll try it again tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't exactly know what I'm doing. I recall reading something about setting an accesspoint or "bridging" my routers. Which of these do I need to do, and how?

I ended up having a spare Dlink 802.11g router so I am now using that to help my lil bro connect to xbox live wirelessly. All I did was disable UnPn as well as DHCP, gave it an ip adress in the actiontec routers ip range, disabled the wireless function on my actiontec,and than connected my spare router from its lan port (Not wan port) to one of my actiontecs lan ports, and like magic it worked like a charm.

I agree with FIOSTech. I should not have to go buy a new router or new adapter for this. Make it work or advise people on work arounds.

From what I've read you're better off getting the original XBox adapter anyway, as it is cheaper, works just as well and doesn't have this strange Actiontec incompatibility.

Even though I could connect my 360 to my Actiontec router, not everything was copasetic. Browsing and playing many games can fill the NAT table on the M1424 leading to the same problem as using BitTorrent, Steam or newsgroups. In my case, that meant needing a hard reset. Luckily another benefit of having the Ethernet drop is that it's very easy to use your own router instead of the M1424.

I think the issue has never been between the XBOX 360 and a WIRED connection. I guess what I was getting at is that those that have Internet going through a CAT 5e drop vice the MOCA ONT are saying that connecting an XBOX wirelessly with an ONT configured for Ethernet is successful.

Called the Encore thing and after pressing buttons and being on hold it says "sorry your call can not be completed at this time" and then hangs up. i call the main number and i get run around in circles for 45 minutes at a time.

does anyone know what the hell is wrong with this company? does anyone know when this issue will be patched or fixed?

i have tried bridging a connection with linksys wrt150n and ddwrt running, creating a network with my mac, assigning static to the 360. nothing works. i dont have the option of hardwiring.

i also just got off the phone with VZ Fios Tech support again. This guy had NO CLUE about the issue. I asked if he had access to google and he said yes and I told him to type in "fios xbox" and click the first result (hooray google search results being #1 lol) he read this post and I believe he may have shat himself at that point. He conferenced actiontec rep into the convo. apparently they wont talk to any of us consumers according to the VZ tech. they will talk to and answer any questions while VZ is on the phone though. I asked some very specific questions:

**(summarized)**

Is this a known issue? Yes
Is there a patch out currently? No
When will the patch be out for this problem? Is there an ETA? Not sure and no ETA at this time.
How do I work around it? You will need a new router.

For me this means switching from coax to ethernet which will cause issues when fios tv rolls into town. Personally though I would rather use my Linksys with custom firmware than this POS from VZ. I am very happy with them speed and service wise. Unfortunately I am very displeased with the lack of knowledge and the fact that they are handing out this modem/router with known issues for something that a lot of their customers obviously own.

Hope this helps some.

Personally my last ditch effort when I get home is to use an extra netgear router and set it up as a wired bridge instead of wireless like my linksys. Anyone tried that? Any luck?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18985976 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:32:06 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18982314 anon : Go onto the router and change the ip settings to static ip address, the disconnection might be because of an ip address switching]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18982314 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:48:17 EDT Re: XBOX 360 and FiOs(Actiontec M1424WR) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18982304 anon : I have the stock vz fios actiontec router and it wouldn't connect to my xbox 360 wirelessly.

The reason the wireless adapter wont connect has to do with the DHCP server on the router, frankly it is a piece of shit. I spent a week trying to get 2 wireless Compaq iPaq PDAs and a wireless print server to work with it and they all did the same thing. They do actually connect but they disconnect when they cant get an IP. As soon as I configured DHCP on my windows 2003 server and disabled the one on the actiontec they started working instantly. I have called actiontec about this but they refuse to admit that there DHCP server is to blame even tho I did all of the work to prove it. The only way this will get fixed is if they get off there ass and actually do some work to improve the thing or you buy a different router that actually works properly.

I have the original Xbox hardwire to my Netgear CG814WG Cable Modem Gateway with a new Cat-5 cable.

I am able to log into xbox live and play 2, just two, games of Halo 2(15-20min) after which it always disconnects me. I have done this about 150 times!

Comcast has no clues what to do(bunch of morons). I have no idea what to do(moron!). I tried to set up my xbox as the DMZ but the gateway does not 'read' my xbox; it is as if it wasn't there even though it is connected. To clarify: under computer name, i see the name of my computer, but no name for the xbox(although i see that something is connected on the ethernet outlet being used).

Any ideas? I had my computer off, so that it is not lack of bandwidth. I have 6mbps, and I used to have dsl at my old place with half that speed and I never had an issue with xbox live(halo 2 baby!) then. I know there is something wron with my router but I know people with the same router who report no issue. What the hell?

Remember it is hardwired with the proper wire(cat-5). The connection is working just fine, I abastain from using the internet on my computer so that all the bandwidth is dedicated to the xbox. I am able to connect and play just 2 games of halo 2 after which I am kicked out, as if the modem reseted itself(though i am not sure if it does) then it takes anywhere from 2-5 of troubleshooting xbox live to get it back to work for two more games and then the cycle repeats.

I gave them separate SSID's and separate WEP keys. But I couldn't get the laptop to connect through the VZ router no matter how I fudged with it. So now I again disabled the VZ wireless.
