I can get VOD to work now but play back is very chopping. Any way to fix that? |

Sorry I should post the router I'm using too. Its a Linksys SRX 200 also known at WRT54 GX2. Every thing works with the linksys doing all the routing but the VOD is very choppy with artifacts in the video and the sound cutting in and out. |

join:2008-02-17 | Sniping, I had that problem at first, but it all works smooth now. It could just be your router, but I don't think so.
Mine was choppy for about a day, after that it was fine |

Did you try setting QOS for the VOD?
QOS in on for VOD by default in the Actiontec. |

You are a god among men Yubin. I've been waiting for an easy guide, and yours worked. Many, many thanks. |

| can this be made to work for those of us that have ethernet turned on ?
I will attempt it, but I might as well ask. I tried all of yesterday and failed. will try to apply these steps to my set up and see where it gets me.
any help from those that have done it is welcomed |

Sorry if this a stupid question. Looking at the configuration, where does the Bridge get connected to the Internet? If both WAN ports are taken up by the Bridge? Or am I look at this wrong? |

Rtcy_at_work, if you have ethernet ran to your actiontec, just plug it into your own router instead of the actiontec. Leave the cable connected to the actiontec for the VOD. That's it.
JaySco The actiontec will get the internet from the Ethernet Wan port, which is plugged into the router of your choice. Your router receives an external IP fromVerizon through the bridge we created on the actiontec.
I made this pic to show you how it works
I hope this helps everyone get an idea of how it's setup.

I need some help. So I start fresh after a ip lease break and follow the directions at the beginning of this thread. I follow everything to a tee. I have no problem getting to the internet. The issue is the guide itself. It is up and running and functional but for some reason if I try to access the widgets, it gives me an error that it cannot connect to the server. Worse yet if I have power cycle the stb's that is the end of the guides. Has anybody run into this? |

Hello Yubin,
This sunday I am going to have an AT router installed. Currently I am using a Linksys WRT54G router facing Vzn and my VOD comes using a little Morotola box that converts coax into Ethernet UTP and then connects to my Linksys.
I want to you my AT to act as a bridge. My Internet connectivity comes to my house using Ethernet.
Should I connect the WAN connection of the ACtiontech to the ONT and then one of the LAN port of the AT to the Linksys? Any other considerations?
Thanks

Hello Yubin,
This Sunday I am going to have an AT router installed. Currently I am using a Linksys WRT54 connected to my ONT using an Ethernet. My VOD comes using a little Morotola box that converts coax into Ethernet UTP and connects back to the Linksys. I can clear see the my STB gets an IP assigned from my Linksys router.
I want to put my Linksys router behind the AT because the Linksys is not capable of handling VOD + my Internet connection.
I want to you my AT as a bridge.
Should I connect the Ethernet WAN connection of the AT to the ONT and then one of the LAN port of the AT to the Linksys? Any other considerations?
Thank you

elongatedm This means that your bridge isn't working, check to make sure that your ethernet bridge has an ip from your other router. |

| Yubin, Would this also work if there is no FIOS TV?
Currently NYC only has telephone and internet. My install was done with coax to Actiontec ver D. and no cat 5 from ONT to router. Therefore unable to connect Linksys without cat 5.
In NYC installs are done via coax (MoCa for impending FIOS TV) and easier(?) and quicker(?). Can VZ install cat 5 as well to have both coax and cat 5 run simultanously?
Verizon tech expected here today any minute to advise on the above.
Thanks |

@verizon.net
| Just curious as to whether this will help me connect my Linksys (for better wireless range and better NAT)
Verizon tech told me only ethernet or MoCa, but not both simultaneously, as new Actiontec has Nim built in. Tech told me to leave as is for impending FIOS TV(long political BS here in NYC to get approved; NYC had cable tv in the 60's while we here in Brooklyn did not get cable tv until 1992.)

| Hopefully, the tech has left at this point. The tech is correct in a limited sense. You can have connection provisioned at the ONT over either cat-5 or coax (MOCA), but not both. TV is always over coax. The STB utilize ethernet over coax (MOCA) for VOD and guide data.
This results in a number of options.
1) If the tech installed a cat-5 ethernet connection from the ONT, then simply release the DHCP address in the AT and put in your own router. If you later get FIOS TV, you can put the AT behind your router to provide the MOCA connection to the STB's.
2) If the tech connected the AT to the ONT via coax, then follow Yubin's instructions for bridging your router with the AT. |

Yubin,
Where do I check to ensure that the bridge is getting an IP? Am I going into the newly created bridge to check? Also if it is not getting an IP, what do you recommend that I do to get it going? I think I am one step from getting this working.
Thanks for your help |
