| Actiontec 40.19.36 firmware I noticed today that the internet update search on the firmware page of my REV I router started to offer v 40.19.36. Previously only an older version was offered (40.19.20 I think).
Is there any advantage (or disadvantage) of going with this firmware?
Thanks. |

1 edit | I am on 40.19.22 with rev I, AFA I know when updates are needed they will be pushed automatically to the router by Verizon
This is the optimal setting unless you want to stay on an older version |

I am seeing 4.19.36 available as well. Has anyone upgraded to this version yet? |

I saw 40.19.36 as available and force upgraded. Came back up fine. Don't know if anything is different. |

kudos:1 | Someone said that IPv6 was enabled in this version. Lex Luthor  , can you confirm this please? Maybe a tab in 'Advanced'. |

Huntington Beach, CA | The answer to IPv6 is yes it can be enabled.
It is about time this happened.
But does it work yet? Last time I ran that test only 2 of 8 passed - now several of the IPv6 work but DNS is not working yet.
Not quite if you run the tests at »test-ipv6.com/ |

The option is there for me too now. I enabled it, but I'm still only passing 2 of the 8 tests and it doesn't look like I'm getting an IPv6 address assigned anywhere. Why not?
Also, has far as DNS not working, what if you used opendns?

You can't use native IPV6 as there is nothing on the WAN side with Verizon to support this |

Just because the BHR has IPv6 firmware doesn't mean the rest of the FiOS network is IPv6-ready...
Work in progress..... |

I'm going to take a crack at it and state that they are probably just getting prepared to do some IPv6 testing in 2013. |

Well the geek in me couldn't help myself. I upgraded to 40.19.36 last night. No issues so far. Son is an avid gamer and usually breaks routers - no issues there either. |

That's nice. But I wish they enable the RJ45 ports on the STBs and allow Remote DVR without their router. |

I'm a new Fios customer. Since the router is supposed to upgrade the firmware automatically can doing a force upgrade cause any issues?
Thanks. |

my Rev I just did an auto update to 40.19.36 at 10:22 AM PST
just happened to walk out to the cabinet where everything is at, noticed the power light go red... flash... wait.. wait... came back up.. logged in saw the new firmware had been applied.
none of my port mappings, SSID, passwords, WPA2 settings, MAC access list or anything else seems to have changed, only thing I noticed is the option for IPV6 now. |

In order to support Verizon's future video service architecture VIDEO MEDIA SERVER, the routers must be upgraded to allow Multicast code download. That is what this update is all about. |

| said by VZguy13 :In order to support Verizon's future video service architecture VIDEO MEDIA SERVER, the routers must be upgraded to allow Multicast code download. Quick Question for anyone with the answer. I'm running an Actiontec Rev I in performance mode for all my "N" devices, and a bridged Actiontec rev F in compatibility mode for my "G" devices. since the F is bridged, it can't update directly. Do I need to do something to update it's firmware?
