Re: FiOS GigE Wireless "N" Router $79.99 Great. And this is the latest that has been put out? Also, do you know if this router would work on things other then FiOS? |

| I'm reading what I think is the Rev I datasheet and it doesn't say anything about usage monitoring ability that I've found. Do you have anything to say about that? I use DD-WRT on my current router and it has usage meters built in. |

Houma, LA | Ok. If anyone knows the answer to my question, feel free to chime in. If I go for this, this'll be my first Actiontec anything. I've used Linksys stuff since the beginning back in 2005. |

Also not the fanciest 802.11n router available. Only 2.4Ghz band. No 5Ghz. No 40Mhz channels.

That's a problem for me. Since I count on my usage. And if I'm gonna spend any money, I'm looking for latest, greatest and to be able to change the firmware. I'd be using it for 3-5 years, maybe longer depending on speed upgrades. |

Collegeville, PA | You might want to look into one of the new draft 802.11ac wireless routers if you're looking for the latest and greatest combined with feature rich features. That's usually going to come from the main router OEMs like Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, etc. ISP partnered OEMs typically don't have the latest and greatest features to cut down on cost and support for the ISPs. |

Yes. I've heard about those. Until the 802.11ac line is finished and made standard, I won't be going for one. Mine will probably be a latest Wireless N to be used sometime later this year or into next. But we'll see. I'm looking for a certain set of features, etc. So, there is is. It's nice to have options and I'm grateful for the info I found out here. |

Houma, LA | Yeah, I was looking at the E-4200. When I actually go and buy, I bet it'll be like a E-5000 or something |

Definitely. Just pointing out what they tried and I can almost guarantee they will try it again. |

I just had an Actiontec router replaced (a rev A with a rev F) which had severe NAT table issues (at least that is what I inferred from net surfing). If I were to purchase a rev G myself, would Verizon have to do something on their end to have it recognized?
Thanks. |

As long as you release your DHCP lease prior to swapping routers the rest is automatic with the new router getting its IP-btw i think verizon will only sell you a rev I which is inferior to the rev g |

Just be sure to release your DHCP lease and IMMEDIATELY power off the old router before swapping it out.
