Hmmm... mine isn't working right then. When I go to connection list, I see the option to setup a new static IP, but the ones I already have setup are not listed (to be edited).

However, if a computer with an assigned static IP is connected, I can see it in "My Network" and under "IP Address Allocation" it says "static."

I will have to give VZ a call. Thanks!
I have the exact same problem. I tried to explain the problem to VZ today, but I don't think it registered with the tech I had. What did VZ say when you called? I seem to remember the static IP list being there on a past F/W version and now it's gone. Seems like a bug to me.

I actually discovered it was due to the service "Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client" being installed in my computer.

I blamed it on the router because of the new firmware that just got installed. In actuality, it was because I have network drives on my computer that send out the SSDP signals.

Previously, my computer was behind another switch, which prevented it from receiving the SSDP signals (I assume, but am not sure). Also tonight, I redid the wiring on my network, and the network drives and my computer are now hard-wired into the ActionTec. This is why I probably just found out about this. (None of my previous network setups had the network drives and my laptop connected to the same ethernet ports).

Thanks Geekgirl1 for your help!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19765089 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:29:10 EDT Re: NEW!

Sounds like you have Internet Connection Sharing turned on. Something you installed (or some software that did it for you). The only thing your PC does is talk to the router using your browser.

If there's nothing unusual, I'd delete that connection and reinstall the network drivers- Client for Micrsoft Networks, File / printer sharing, Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

For DHCP, select "obtain an IP address automatically". For static addresses, enter manually. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19764887 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:57:06 EDT Re: NEW!

What's changed in the Rev. D hardware, if anything?
I'm wondering the same thing. My Rev. C router was losing power (power light would go out) and consequently Internet. This has been occurring since having the Actiontec installed in August but I finally--around the holidays--decided to try to correct the issue. There was no frequency to the loss and it was only a momentary loss but a loss nonetheless. It could happen three or four times a day. The first tech sent out a new power supply but that didn't help. Verizon sent me the Rev. D version and I installed it last night. I upgraded the firmware to version .7. I have a Xbox 360 attached with the Xbox wireless adapter. I was concerned that the ports would have to be reconfigured and that prompted my decision to upgrade the FW. I'm not a geek by any means but I've noticed that the new revision displays the time correctly and has the correct starting and ending dates for daylight saving time. I did contact tech support last night during the install and the tech told me that the port forwarding issues had been taken care of. I wasn't convinced but I was able to do a little testing of the 360 connection last night and once I typed in the correct encryption key, my NAT came up open and I didn't appear to have any connection issues. I'll know more after I've had a few days to play with it. So far so good. It is also mandatory that you have to assign the router your own user-created user name and password. I guess I'll sum it up by saying at this point I'm cautiously optimistic that this is a signficant improvement over revision C.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19732060 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:38:33 EDT Re: NEW!

From what I understand, there is no difference between the new router and the old router from a hardware aspect, its only the case and packaging of the device that has changed.
It's been mentioned before, the new units have newer MoCA and wireless chipsets (new units support WPA2, old ones don't).

New firmware's been posted at the usual spot for those who don't feel like downloading from an untrusted source...
WPA2 has always been a firmware update on all routers, and I bought 3 OLD Actiontecs and put in the new firmware and WPA2 works on them. the old ones have Broadcom chipsets the new ones have a different one and I forget now the brand.

From what I understand, there is no difference between the new router and the old router from a hardware aspect, its only the case and packaging of the device that has changed.
It's been mentioned before, the new units have newer MoCA and wireless chipsets (new units support WPA2, old ones don't).

New firmware's been posted at the usual spot for those who don't feel like downloading from an untrusted source...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19701847 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 01:14:27 EDT Re: NEW! MI424WR FW 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.7 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19700559 rtcy :

Before this update, my Denon receiver was not properly pulling an IP via DHCP unless I actually used its NET functions (Internet radio, etc).

Now the Denon always has an IP and I can connect to it with my computer the moment I turn it on.
sigh.... Ken now you're gonna make me update my Harman Kardon so it can have ip connectivity ;)

bulls 729 tahnks for that post!

With the new firmware, all devices with a static ip are listed on the main page, regardless of whether they are actually on.
I noticed that, too. All devices that have been assigned IPs are showing up, whether connected or not. Those not connected are shown as "inactive." I guess this is a new "feature" that as added. I wonder if there's a menu item somewhere that will allow to only select active devices.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19698182 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 12:11:38 EDT Re: NEW!
