Actiontec MI424WR FIOS N Router REV. I

Upper Tier? If Verizon holds to practice it will be used on new installs when available. Repairs will use the older rev until supplies are depleted.

how do i reset the router? i cant get into it and I tried to reset it to no avail! I have the new revision i and they must have changed the password because the defaults dont work. I tried password, password1, serial number , etc.

Make sure you hold the reset button in until the lights go out then all flash.

If anyone wants one ASAP, they seem to have popped up on eBay

Hopefully they move to general deployment eventually, unlike the REV G

I'm sure anyone can pickup a nice Linksys Dual band N router for $80. I wouldn't send that much.

Has Verizon stopped distributing G's to the 150 customers and moved on to I's? What did they improve?

damn rev i????

I just had fios installed for my in laws last week, and they still received a rev f in long island, ny

What the heck is going on.

when will they exhaust their rev f supplies?

Revision F is the latest residential router. Rev G is for Gigabit Internet , and Rev I is the newest

so has I been distributed yet? If they are, who is getting them, 150 customers? Have they phased out the Gs?

Rev G's are not phased out

Ok so rev I's started going out on new installs Dec 15 only in limited areas per verizon, but he didn't know what differences there were between revs G and I.

reply to rev I
Rev.I is replacing the F and will be distributed to new installs only.

The I has a slightly different look with a red band instead of the silver and 2 antennas. It is 802.11N 2.4GHz.

This is all great news. The best of both wired and wireless standards.

I just had FiOS Internet installed recently. My promo included a free rev F router.

I just got my first bill and it seems as if the router is treated as a sale rather than a monthly rental like the STBs are. I was charged $79.99 for the router and also received a 100% price discount on the router.

So does this mean that these routers can't be exchanged at the local Verizon store like the STBs can be?

I would like to be able to walk into a VZ store in a few weeks and swap my rev F for a rev I.

That 2nd antenna isn't just sitting there to look pretty. The rev I is most likely a dual band N router. The big question is whether its single or dual radio. If single, then only one frequency available (2.4 or 5GHz). If dual radio then 2 SSID's available with one being 2.4GHz channel and other being 5GHz channel.
