| Unoffical Frontier FAQ I've been spending some free time writing up an FAQ for this forum until we get a full FAQ online. Figured I'd share what very little of it has been created. Do not be surprised of the directory listings. Until it is fully created, you'll come across them. Only thing I have created was some guides for the Siemens Gigaset SE567.
The page isn't supposed to look like much, just basic HTML. I haven't gotten to making it look neater so it's a bit of a mess, but my goal right now is to make sure it can be viewed through any browser, any device, and through any connection.

Please be kind to my server! It does bite when it's unhappy  |

1 edit | Will do. Probably when it is all written up and we're all satisfied with it we'll move it over.
Thought it might be of interest to some, my server actually routes directly into Frontier's network in Chicago so it should run rather quickly when on the Frontier network, especially if the former Verizon people here are routing over the Frontier network now. |
|
| I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time and effort to put a FAQ together.
I'm former Verizon. The switchover hasn't been completed in my area. |

Let's keep conversations in this thread focused on the development of the Frontier FAQ please. Of course "thank you's" are welcome and I am sure they are appreciated.
I don't want this to get sidetracked into non FAQ related discussions.
If anyone has anything they would like to contribute you can insert them here or send them on directly to Smith6612  . |

As the original reporter of the rev G actiontec, I am now in frontier land but did receive the router before the switchover.
Also, its only 2.4GHz, no 5GHz. |

About »seansite.dyndns.org/frontierfaq/···tat.html you claim that users should
quote:
Please verify that you are plugged directly into the modem before you run this program
If that tool fails to find the modem, besides offering to rescan for the modem, the tool offers to setup the Static IP of 192.168.1.250 and the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
So, if an user has a hub or an unmanaged switch they could have that hub or unmanaged switch between this modem and their router.
Then as addresed in »Linksys FAQ »How do I access a modem that is connected to the WAN port of a Linksys Router? it matters if their computer has only has one NIC or least two NICs.
quote:
The IP of the second NIC should be static and set to an IP in the IP mask range of the modem.
With the hub or unmanaged switch correctly connected between the modem and their router, if the computer has two NICs, if the router's IP Address is 192.168.0.1 and if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0....
#1 The NIC that is going to connected to hub or unmanaged switch, get assigned the IP Address of 192.168.1.250 and the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
#2 Connect that NIC to the hub or unmanaged switch.
#3 If the user desires the IP Address of the other NIC to have a Static IP, they should set it's Address in the 192.168.0.* range.
#4 This is done so that they can run that tool and be online at the same time.
--
If the user does not have a computer with two NICs, but they have the hub or unmanaged switch correctly connected between the modem and their router, all they need to do is..
#1 Disconnect their computer from the router.
#2 Setup the computer to use the IP Address of 192.168.1.250 and the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
#3 Connect their computer to the hub or unmanaged switch.
#4 Install/Run that tool.
#5 This is done so that the other computers that are behind the router can still access the net (applies that the net is still working).
#6 To get back online:
a) Disconnect their computer from the hub or unmanaged switch.
b) Change the IP Address type back to what it was before they setup that Static IP. This can mean DHCP.
c) Connect their computer behind the router.
d) Release and renew the IP Address as need be.
--
Before adding this the FAQ - if you do not believe me, verify it your self.
Some notes about correct way to connect a hub or unmanaged switch to the modem is, either it is:
#1 The connection from the modem goes to the uplink port, then the connection from the router can go to any port but the port next to the uplink port.
#2 OR If I am wrong about that, then it is: The connection from the modem goes to the port next to the uplink port, then the connection from the router can go to any port but not the uplink port OR not the port that is already in (the port next to the uplink port) use.

1 edit | Thanks aefstoggaflm for the correction! I'll add this in the next time I get the chance, but in the meantime if someone wishes and they have a Westell 6110 (or perhaps the Westell 2100 as this pretty much applies I believe), can they run through these steps for me? |

Re: Unoffical Frontier FAQ Hello guys,
I updated the FAQ for the SE567 to some new bridging instructions that should be more clear/easier to follow. I revamped the SE567's Bridging instructions page, and included instructions on how to bridge a PPPoA connection on the SE567 to be used as a PPPoE connection, which routers do support.

Re: Unoffical Frontier FAQ SE 567 port forwading Using a web browser, launch the router's Web management interface located at »192.168.254.254 and log in with the appropriate username and password (frequently, "admin" is both the username and password).
Click Security on the lefthand side of the page.
Click Address Translation on the lefthand side of the page.
Select Port Forwarding (NAPT) and click the Configure link to the right of Port Forwarding (NAPT).
Review the list of available applications. If the application the customer desires is present, click it to add it to the "Enabled Applications" list - and that's it! If the application the customer desires is *not* present, click Add a Custom Forwarding Entry.
Under Add/Edit entry, select either the service or protocol and TCP/UDP ports, whichever is applicable to the customer's situation. If you select "protocol and TCP/UDP ports", be sure to enter the appropriate range of port numbers for the customer's situation.
Select either "redirect selected protocol / service to this router" or "redirect selected protocol / service to IP address", whichever is applicable to the customer's situation. If you select "redirect selected protocol / service to IP address", be sure to enter the appropriate IP address (that to which you are attempting to redirect protocol / service).
Click Apply. That's it!

Re: Unoffical Frontier FAQ Just as a heads up, my web server is currently down for some maintenance. Moving the site to run off of an SSD drive and running other things on a mechanical drive. It should return to normal operating in a few hours. |

Thanks for all your postings Smith6612! When will the Westell 7500 info. be available in the FAQs?
Frontier just replaced my SE567 with the Westell today and what a difference! I'm now getting 3MB down in a rural area 2 miles from the switch. Was getting 1MB at best and thousands of FEC errors............. |
