I have a Rev F router. Will this router also be getting a firmware update or will I need to swap it out to a Rev I, in order to use the Video Media Server, once it becomes available? |

kudos:1 | Only the Rev I router will both: Receive the update and be compatible with the Verizon Media Server.
The questions now now:
What other household equipment will have to be changed; and to what?
Does it matter if you are BPON/GPON? |

I think the current STBs only support two HD Video streams. So, how will this handle more than that? Will it have to?
-Could require a home run wiring approach to the media server
-Could require Cat6 to each TV
-Could require a faster version of MOCA
It will be interesting to see. |

Personally I would prefer option #2, I would rather use Cat5e or Cat6 over Coax any day of the week. Add the option of PoE to that and its a system that would be perfect. |

Any thoughts on IPv6 options to select? Specifically:
-In 1, I set it to Enabled.
-In 2, I set it DHCPv6, and Obtain IPv6 DNS Server address automatically
-In 3, I set it to Stateful and left everything as is
Any thoughts? |

Mine auto-updated a week or so ago. Besides the addition of the IPv6 option, UPnP and IGMP Proxy have been removed from the "Advanced Settings" page. I haven't noticed any other changes. |

| I'm happy they removed the IGMP proxy -- it breaks Apple Airplay and was tricky to troubleshoot.
Verizon doesn't seem to have turned on ipv6 for home FIOS yet.
For what it's worth: OpenDNS has an ipv6 sandbox, but entering their DNS entries doesn't help at this point.

Regarding Rev G router. I received an update to 30.20.2 over the weekend. It was done by Verizon. I was told that the Rev G is supposed to support Media Server as well. |

Same I just got the update. Any settings or should I just leave default?

I am not happy that they removed the IGMP proxy setting.
Without an option to disable the IGMP Proxy, now Media Center on my laptops can no longer detect my HDHomeRun Prime over wireless.
Does anyone know of a workaround to disable the IGMP proxy on this firmware? |

You are happy they broke something that many people use? By removing the entry to allow people to disable IGMP Proxy it means many devices and services that need multicast to function will no longer work. Now, if the disabled IGMP Proxy altogether, thus allowing the devices to work as the previously did, that is good. But my understanding is that IGMP Proxy is now enabled and cannot be disabled. |
|
| You're assumption is right, IGMP Proxy can no longer be disabled. However IGMP can be disabled altogether. This doesn't help solve the issue for devices that use multicast upnp and require IGMP Proxy to be disabled. |

I'm not very happy with this firmware update. Ever since the router went down automatically last week, the router has been resetting itself every day. Does it 2-3 times a day now.
Trying to see what's up but like clockwork its been happening everyday :/ |
|
| Does anyone know if we can downgrade this router's firmware back to 40.19.22 or 40.19.20? I tried to do a firmware restore, but after the router reboots, it is back to 40.19.36. |

Yes, I am happy they completely removed the IGMP proxy, as it enhances the functionality of my AirPlay devices.
I am NOT happy that they seem to have completely removed UPnP, which is a security hole but is quite convenient. Perhaps this is what you're thinking about? I don't see what use an IGMP proxy would be to anyone's home network in 2013.
I guess ipv6 will eventually replace the need for UPnP. |

Actually, an orphan page (a page that isn't being linked to anywhere) has been found with the IGMP Proxy setting in the new firmware. See this thread on Verizon's forums for the address:

My assumption is that the IGMP proxy feature is in the device for if/when they every do multicast video. The router would relay the IGMP requests upstream. In a normal environment this is done via PIM to signal the streams, but they don't want PIM adjacencies between all of the devices as it doesn't scale and is a security issue. If Verizon were to ever implement this they would need the proxy feature.
It saddens me every time to hear of issues like yours with Airplay. I work for a large networking vendor and we run into issues all the time at schools/companies that want to use their Apple devices across multiple infrastructures. Apple built their devices to not scale past the local LAN and now networking vendors are doing bastardized tweaked implementations to allow Airplay to propagate across subnets. I wish we vendors would instead forcing Apple to fix their protocols. Yours is another example of how an improper implementation breaks the devices. |
