It's in the works but taking time. Word has it they already have the MoCA chip running on a revision or two (at least the OpenWRT folks).

reply to rev I
I just got my rev. i as a free replacement of my fried rev. f.

is there a wake on the lan entry that can survive a reboot???

I dont mind telnet into router to write the entry, but ffs why cant this entry survive a reboot.

Can we assume correctly that you've read this FAQ, and the last part about adding an old router to help with the inherent problem you've run into?

»Verizon Online FiOS FAQ »How do I enable Wake On LAN (WOL) with the MI424WR

Yeah, I don't have another router.

Can someone help me set up utorrent settings, if I put a high amount of global max connections like 2000, my wireless ap does not allow any new connections and stalls the ones that are connected , and I have 35/35, and I only allow utorrent to use half my total bandwidth. What is the recommended global max connections for rev I?

I use a netgear 3700 in ap mode, and I have to wait for torrent to finish downloading before wireless clients can connect again to network.

IIRC, if you go back in this thread, you'll find several posts regarding the size of the NAT table of the various revisions of the Actiontec. All of the later revisions seemed to supply a large enough space to accommodate many more than 2000 simultaneous connections, and the results were obtained by DSLR users doing real-life testing. Perhaps the problem is unrelated to the NAT table, but it is the most likely candidate.

I figured out my issues with utorrent, for some reason using uTP setting in utorrent would crash the router even though I was not anywhere near the amount of max connections for NAT table.

I adjusted bt.transp_disposition in advanced settings in utorrent from 31 to 21. This basically disables torrent over udp, and uses tcp instead for the transfer. This fixed all my issues with my verizon fios service.

Setting bt.transp_disposition to 21 - means that it will connect to peers using TCP. More stable and better connection. By default uT uses TCP + UDP, but I feel it is very unstable.

I am not sure if this uTP causes conflicts with verizons service or its actiontec routers, because I have had this dilemma from rev e, f, and i.

reply to rev I
hi i have verizon fios and i would like to know if this router Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I works with my connection i have an MIR ( something) Rev. D or E.
And i would like to know to if this virsion is the newst one.

Thnak You

Yes, it will work with your connection as a replacement for all of the previous revisions of the Actiontec FiOS routers. The Rev. I is the newest of the Actiontec MIR424WR routers. Whether you NEED the revision would require knowledge of your needs, expectations and current connections.

i need to upgrade to wireless N. Need stronger signal and what i read about my router is that it sucks. lol

reply to rev I
does this new rev support ipv6?

reply to louisausten
I have the Rev. I, but the 802.11N wireless it provides is NOT reason-enough to convince most that its worth the hassle of replacing your existing router. Its not a dual band N, ie - it sticks all B, G and N traffic on the same 2.4 Ghz channels that you've been using. Others can tell you the maximum throughput it can provide wirelessly - I'm sure it will suffice for the 75 mbps Quantum tier, much more than that, maybe not. As for wireless coverage in your home, you're best off with additional hotspots if you have weak coverage. Doing a LAN-LAN connection to an EXTRA dual-band router (any brand) is what MANY (including myself, and I HAVE a Rev I as my primary router) are using. The Rev. I WILL allow you to wire all of your Ethernet around its Gigabit switching ports - THAT is much better than the earlier versions, and the NAT Table shouldn't overfill when torrenting and such as much as the earlier routers did for those that routinely connected to THOUSANDS of simultaneous servers or clients simultaneously. Other than those points, if you understand them, the routers will still function identically for most users.

I bought recently Buffalo AirStation™ AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router but i cant get it work LAN-LAN. I MAde it once but the signal was the same.
I usually use torrent so thats good for me i guess.

Have you read this part of the forum's FAQ's? (linked)
