New Rev I Router!

stevek1949 We're not in Kansas anymore join:2002-11-13 Virginia Beach, VA	New Rev I Router! Well to make a short story long, I just got a new Rev I Actiontec router given to me. I was walking through the parking area of our condo community and saw a Verizon van parked across the parking lot from my unit. I then just saw the tech coming out of another unit. I casually said hello and asked him if he would like to trade a Rev D router for a Rev I. He looked at me and said, let me check in the van. Then out he comes and hands me a new router and says to keep the Rev D. No strings, no hassle. I haven't installed it yet and looking forward to putting it in place. I do not do anything out of the ordinary with the NAT tables or port forwarding (yet), but at least I will be using the latest. Thanks to this friendly tech! I won't mention any names to preclude any adverse reactions. But it was a great gesture!

aaronwt Premium join:2004-11-07 Woodbridge, VA Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS	reply to stevek1949 Yes no need to reboot the ONT. I can switch back and forth between my REV I router, my Dlink DGL4500, and my ASUS RT-N56U router as many times as I want without issue. As long as I release the DHCP lease before disconnecting. One day I need to turn in all these old Actiontec routers. I have four of them now, counting the REV I, gathering dust in my closet. Even my now ancient DGL4500 does a better job than the Rev I Actiontec router.

I just copied the config from the Rev D to the Rev I, released the DHCP address, powered off, installed the new, turned it on. Worked first time. Did not reboot the ONT.

Worked first time. Did not reboot the ONT. This is a surprise, since the MAC address or something else in the router that created the config file is specified in the config file. In recent versions of firmware (last 2 years at least), the router restoring the config has recognized the difference and pops up an error message to the effect of incompatible file. Since the config file is encrypted, I cannot compare the contents. A config file, in my experience can only be reloaded on the specific router, not just the model of router, that created it. Going from D to I is really a surprise.

More Fiber Premium,MVM join:2005-09-26 West Chester, PA kudos:28	I assumed stevek1949 meant "copied" in the generic sense of applying any customized settings to the new router rather than physically copying the config file from one router to the other. If he did that, I'd be very surprised also. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary and those who don't.

nycdave Premium,MVM join:1999-11-16 Melville, NY kudos:10	Not possible to copy config files between BHR's, even within the same BHR generation. The config file is encrypted to the original BHR. The OP meant he copied over the settings by hand.

schipperke join:1999-11-29 Potomac, MD	reply to stevek1949 I just ordered one , may be here this weekend. I had a hard enough time getting the Rev E swapped to me a while back from that brick looking one. Would end up costing me more in time trying to swap than just pay for it. Sad, but it is what it is.
