Unfortunately, people are setting their own DNS servers. you mean on computers inside your house/network correct ? cause if you know what ip's they are using you can block them , or just make a list of open public dns servers and see if they complain. and just make sure your edge router is set under connections wan ethernet / or coax whatever you are configured for to only 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222 and when their entries fail on their computers it will drop to whatever the router feeds them and they will never know it the more server numbers you block at opendns the more control you will have here is a small list 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 156.154.70.1 156.154.71.1 198.153.192.1 198.153.194.1 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.3 4.2.2.4 4.2.2.5 4.2.2.6 67.138.54.100 207.225.209.66 85.88.19.10 (German Xail.net) sehr schnell! 85.88.19.11 (German Xail.net) 87.118.100.175 (German Privacy Foundation e.V.) 94.75.228.28 (German Privacy Foundation e.V.) 62.141.58.13 (German Privacy Foundation e.V.) 85.25.251.254 (German Privacy Foundation e.V.) langsam! 85.214.73.63 (FoeBuD e.V.) 212.82.225.7 (ClaraNet) 212.82.226.212 (ClaraNet) 213.73.91.35 (Chaos Computer Club Berlin) 58.6.115.42 (OpenNIC, Australien) 58.6.115.43 (OpenNIC, Australien) 119.31.230.42 (OpenNIC, Australien) 200.252.98.162 (OpenNIC, Brasilien) 217.79.186.148 (OpenNIC, Deutschland) 82.229.244.191 (OpenNIC, Frankreich) 216.87.84.211 (OpenNIC, USA) 2002:d857:54d2:2:20e:2eff:fe63:d4a9 (OpenNIC, IPv6 USA) 2001:470:1f07:38b::1 (OpenNIC, IPv6 USA) 2001:470:1f10:c6::2 (OpenNIC, IPv6 USA) 66.244.95.20 (OpenNIC, USA) 204.152.184.76 (f.6to4-servers.net, ISC) 2001:4f8:0:2::14 (f.6to4-servers.net, IPv6, ISC) 194.150.168.168 (dns.as250.net; anycast DNS!) 80.237.196.2 (Erdgeist) 194.95.202.198 (UDK Berlin) 88.198.130.211 (Dataflash) 78.46.89.147 (ValiDOM) 129.206.100.126 (URZ Uni Heidelberg) 79.99.234.56 (justnet.ch, Schweiz) 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS) 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS) 156.154.70.22 (Comodo Secure DNS) 156.154.71.22 (Comodo Secure DNS) 85.25.149.144 (Freie DNS-Server) 87.106.37.196 (Freie DNS-Server) 8.8.8.8 (Google Public DNS) 8.8.4.4 (Google Public DNS) 88.198.24.111 (jali/CCCHB) you can google tons of them block em ALL |

Wondering if I can sneak this question in here as it pertains to the REV I.
I already have a Rev I router and recently got hold of another Rev I router. Figured I would do MOCA bridge and then leave the wireless on and set it up as per the instruction in this site. (love the site btw) At first I was ecstatic that the wireless signal in my basement was much stronger now. Then we did some testing. We needed to stream a video of the basement to the upstairs via Skype and both were connected to the same SSID. After about 10-15 minutes the source computer in the basement with the camera started to stutter and eventually come to a halt. I got to thinking that it would be the wireless as that's how both are connected. Looked around and saw that check MOCA stats and saw that the Coax Wan stats of the basement revI was around ~75. Now when I hooked it up to the Coax I did not use a splitter as I am trying to eliminate a box where this connection is. Am I doing something wrong with the settings? Is there another area for me to check? Should I start a new thread with this question? TIA!!!! |

Not clear from your post, which is the secondary router (basement?). The WAN port on the secondary router must be disabled per the instructions in the FAQ. If you've done that and the WAN coax stats you're referring to are for the primary router, then you have a cabling problem.
Assuming the basement router is the secondary router, then it should show "broadband coax down". i.e. no coax WAN stats. |

Yes, the basement is the secondary router. And I double checked and the WAN port is disabled. The stats are in the secondary router Coax Wan stats. Maybe it's just an anomaly and not a real reading as it is disabled? Hopefully you can help me here a bit more. I have a primary Actiontec router upstairs for G signal (2.4ghz only) and have an N router attached to it (5ghz only). They have .1 and .2 respectively as their Ip addresses. I also have a printer attached upstairs with an IP of .3. Now when I check the connections of the secondary router from the Main window it shows .2 as connected via Ethernet as well as another .2 connected via Coax. I also show from the secondary router connected via Coax a .1, .2 and .3. Is that how it should be? Sorry, noob to this Moca bridging stuff. |

Just set up a couple rules in the "Advanced Filtering" section of the Firewall setup. First rule allows all traffic to the OpenDNS servers; the second rule blocks all DNS requests from any internal source IP, to any external destination IP. I've been doing this for two years on F, G, and I Actiontecs and haven't seen any pitfalls, performance or otherwise. |

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. |

to lordphong
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. |

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. |

Confirming that the deep link ("jump") works! Just in case that Verizon thread disappears, here's the deep link to the now-hidden IGMP Proxy page on the Rev I router: » 192.168.1.1/index.cgi?ac ··· age=6059 |

So Hold on Help is on the way. Do you have anymore details on the 300Mbps/40Mhz upgrade? This would be very helpful for me since my Rev I unit is the only router I have in my home. I do a lot of local LAN file transfers over Wi-Fi, and being limited to 130Mbps really hurts sometimes. |

Since I do not have access to a rev.i , I can not tell you what radio chipset and model it is or whether it will support the full range, so a firmware may not be all that is needed. I have swapped it on the rev A and the C models to accomodate third party firmware like Open WRT and DD-WRT. I don't know if you have the cash to pick up this router and set it up as the second router to provide wireless in your place » www.smallnetbuilder.com/ ··· reviewedbut this Asus is the fastest in many tests done so far not only wireless but for the gigabit lan too |

you would'nt know if there's a hidden page for UPNP in the REV I ? I thought it was on or so I assumed() but can't find it anywhere. I did "something" to my MJ+ and now it no longer works in stand alone mode cursed. I get what I pay for. Wonder if that is a new Verizon weapon LOL. I know I can bypass by setting a UDP rule for VOIP, guess I will call them and see if they release specs. no one seems to know what they are for the MJ+ model |

Looks like it was my resseting the router to factory default somehow?? turned off the UPNP cause it had been working anyways thanks to you KES601 and showing us that hidden page I turned it back on as it was indeed off, and that little rascal MagicJack PLUS is back working.
it grabbed a DHCP address and I looked up the MAC address at the FCC and sure enough it was issued to Magickjack.
now for the serious security part******************
yesterday as I reset the router back to factory settings, I entered everything EXCEPT the static WPA key, so it defaulted to that new standard ??? used by the rev I router where it has a key built in for WPA.
anyways I noticed under my network someone with a
BLACKBERRY-7144: Connection Type: Ethernet
IP Address: 192.168.1.2 IP Address Allocation: DHCP MAC Address: 3c:74:37:47:a9:cc
connected to my wireless router I bet this is that new feature I read about where it auto negotiates?? and was already hacked ??
anyways I reset the router to WPA2 and put in my 33 long phrase with added numbers
just to sure I update my youngest son's DIR-655 to 1.35na firmware to disable the securespot and set it to WPA2 with new password
sure hope they only used my IP for a good use!!!!! |

Since it says it was connected via Ethernet, I'm going to have to guess it was the DIR-655 that was the weak link. Shouldn't show up as an ethernet connection if it was connecting via the Actiontec's wireless. |

I think so too, just wish I was 100%. eitherway I set them all up as wpa2 AES and changed the key to one of GRC's random key and saved that on my keychain usb stick will keep monitoring. the thing that confused me a bit was my older son was here visiting in early jan, but the new router was just replaced after he left. he uses a Blackberry. but I'm sure he had departed 1 week earlier. |
