Re: Actiontec MI424WR FIOS N Router REV. I

Hi all,
I'm on RevI as well but for some reason, I can't find UPnP, multicast, or IGMP options. My HDHomeRun Prime is connected to an ethernet port but none of my wireless devices can use WMC for it. It worked with the previous router but not this new RevI.

I heard people are also having this problem with xbox, tivo, and other devices as well.

In the newest Rev I firmware, options to control UPnP and IGMP Proxy have been removed from the "Advanced Settings" page.

I've also noticed that firewall logging no longer works as before. Even with logging enabled for "Remote Administration" attempts, nothing shows up in the logs. You can verify this by going to good old grc.com and running their port scanner to check your router security. Even when running that tool, nothing shows up in the Actiontec's firewall log.

Now I'm confused, you just said they removed the settings from Rev I......

I don't have a Rev I right now, but if the settings are gone then I wouldn't want to upgrade.

That is not going to work for his purposes of getting the Airport Express speakers to work. IGMP is needed for multicast as I understand, but the IGMP Proxy is blocks multicast from the Airport Express and the HDHomeRun prime (this is the problem I'm experiencing with my router at the moment).

In the latest firmware, 40.19.36, IGMP proxy settings are removed and you can no longer disable IGMP proxy. There are several people who have tried to downgrade the firmware with limited success.

Once a downgrade is completed, Fios will push the new firmware back onto the router. Blocking the port for which the firmware is pushed into the router is not allowed on the actiontec router. The only way to overcome this problem is to disable the internet/remove coax from the router.

If anyone knows of a workaround this would be great, otherwise I'm stuck with a HDHomeRun Prime that can only work over a wired network.

Guys - I just got the Rev I. It runs firmware 40.19.36.

I see the IPv6 option under Advanced on the router's setting page.
It's disabled.

Could someone please explain why I would want to enable it?
I also noticed that IPv6 has its own firewall setting...

Also, under Network, I don't have the option to Rename the device on most of the devices on my network. Why not?

Thank you in advance.

Well, in response to the question about IPv6: here is a post on Verizon FiOS's page.

Verizon FiOS is supposed to be making IPv6 avail. 3rd quarter of 2012 for customers with a dynamic IP address first...

Is anyone seeing/ using it?

reply to FlareDust
You are correct. I did not say you can disable IGMP proxy. I said you can disable IGMP, which is not the same thing. It worked for some people and not all. Most people need the multicast as you have said but it's still worth a try.

Rep told me the other day during an ONT reset that IPv6 deployment for residential customers will start in January.

IGMP Proxy Is Now Restored Again !

Hmm. Can't find a way to that page EXCEPT for the jump you mentioned. Does it actually work? Or is it an old page with no code behind it.

Apparently it works Posted it over on Verizon's board mentioned give kudos to Bigdaddy.

Thank you, you are definitely the BIGDADDY!!!
