I I had a new 75/35 installation on July 1st and was given a Rev. G router I feel that the Rev G. does not have the horsepower to handle all the connections per second (and overall throughput) of a large torrent download. I have a problem maintaining the full 75 (well 85Mbit) pipe. I can barely cross the 8MB/sec download threshold, never mind get up near 10. When I put in a beefier enterprise grade Router/Firewall (Cisco 1841 or 220), I can hit those higher speeds and maintain them. But maybe more testing is needed. I won't even mention the joke of 15Mbit Wireless speeds. I really don't want to lose all the capabilities of remote DVR, etc of using the Actiontec either. Has anyone else had any issues of maintaining the full performance of 75Mbit on a non-Rev I device?

That can't be further from the truth. Several months ago there was a discussion on this board about how many connections the Rev. G and Rev. I Actiontecs could handle. I tested my rev. G and I was able to maintain over 200K connections at a full 150Mbps before performance became unsteady. Another user got his rev. I to do 100K(FAQ) I no longer use the rev. G since I needed something that could handle 300K+ connections(pfSense) but its hardware is easily sufficient for sub-50K connection torrents. Have you tried configuring your TCP/IP settings within your operating system?

Hello123 @myvzw.com	What's the default user name to login to the RevI

hubrisnxs join:2009-12-30 Fountain Valley, CA kudos:1	there should be a sticker with a user name of admin and a password that is described as a login password.

KCrimson Premium join:2001-02-25 Brooklyn, NY kudos:1 Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS	said by danclan: password11 yeah oh so clever Not on recent revisions of the Actiontec. My original FiOS install at a former address had the password1 default, but my Rev F and Rev I routers defaulted to a serial number username and a password that was a strange alphanumeric mix, as indicated on the sticker information on each (and each was different).

danclan join:2005-11-01 Midlothian, VA 1 edit	they will reset it to either "password11" or "1". The convoluted gibberish password is on a sticker on the left side of the router along with the default wpa2 key and WEP Pin. and i for one wish they removed the activity lights on the back of the router...i have activity lights on front already...

sneakaround join:2001-06-19 Staten Island, NY	The lights on the back do more than show activity they also show the speed of the connection.

Bob99 join:2001-12-07 Teaneck, NJ Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS	I do see the lights on the back of the router, and I like having them there. My router is on an open shelf facing into the room. When I sit at my computer desk I see the front of the router. But when I walk by the room and glance through the doorway I see the lights on the back of the router. I like the quick reassurance that everything is up and running.

danclan join:2005-11-01 Midlothian, VA	bob you are by and far the exception. From a very practical sense they are no longer needed. The front conveys all the information that 99% of users need. Those that need or want the lights in the back are very much the minority. Linksys hasn't had lights on the back in a while and most home routers these have ditched led ports on the rear for the very reason posted, they are redundant and simply not needed. It was a surprise to see that the actiontec still had them.

Jackarino Premium join:2006-12-28 Allendale, NJ kudos:1	reply to rev I If the lights on the front showed the speed (10/100/1000) then the ones on the back aren't needed at all. Until then I still like them on the back.

Those that specifically don't want the lights there are in the minority as well True but that hasn't really been an issue since they don't include them anymore anyways on most home routers. Any word anywhere on when or if IPv6 will ever hit the Actiontec's?

Smith6612 Premium,MVM join:2008-02-01 North Tonawanda, NY kudos:22 Reviews: ·Verizon Online DSL ·Frontier Communi..	Already has. I believe Verizon has some experimental firmware running on those trialing IPv6 in the Verizon network. If not, OpenWRT/DD-WRT has it built-in and also from what I've heard, has support for the newer ActionTecs AND MoCa capabilities being worked on.

Jackarino Premium join:2006-12-28 Allendale, NJ kudos:1	Could the Rev I support IPv6 with just a firmware update? I would think a new Actiontec would need to be rolled out..

Smith6612 Premium,MVM join:2008-02-01 North Tonawanda, NY kudos:22 Reviews: ·Verizon Online DSL ·Frontier Communi..	Most likely. I've got Rev. D running DD-WRT with IPv6 support. Works just fine and that's with 32M of RAM and a 532Mhz XScale-IXP42x Family rev 2 (v5b) (Intel) CPU. Haven't come across any NAT Table issues yet but the ActionTec has a few Megabytes of unused RAM left. There's some idle RAM it's allocated but not used, so plenty of room.
