Re: How-to: make ActionTec MI424-WR a network bridge
Looks like I really am on CAT5 to the ONT.
I have made some progress. The CAT5 from the ONT goes into my ASA 5505 on e0/0 (outside). The inside IP for my ASA is 192.168.1.91 and the ASA gives out DHCP in the range of 192.168.1.20-192.168.1.30.
I have a straight through cable from the ASA to a regular port (non-WAN) on the actiontec router. I couldn't get anything to work using the WAN port.
Users connecting to the actiontec via wireless, or computers directly connected to the back of the actiontec, can all access the Internet. However, video on demand doesn't work with an error code of VOD_6.
My actiontec router has the following lights off:
WAN Coax
WAN Ethernet
Internet
So at this point to summarize, everything works except the video on demand.
Thanks for your continued support, More Fiber! I am learning a lot in this process.
Regards,

1 edit | I would suggest starting with the LAN-to-WAN connection first. It is easier to get VOD, guide data, and widgets working. The instructions are in Part 3 of the FAQ:
»Verizon Online FiOS FAQ »Replacing the Actiontec (part 3): WAN-to-LAN keeps Guide and VOD (easier)
Some things to check specific to LAN-to-WAN:
•Do a hard reset of the Actiontec to factory defaults to get rid of any settings that might have been changed.
•The Actiontec and Cisco have to be on different subnets. The FAQ suggests putting your router on subnet 192.168.0.x and leaving the Actiontec and STBs on 192.168.1.x.
•LAN side DHCP need to be enabled in the Actiontec so the STBs can obtain an IP address.
•The Actiontec WAN IP address needs to be be set for "Obtain address automatically". It will pull an IP address from the Cisco (192.168.0.x).
•Disconnect/reconnect the A/C to reboot the STBs to make sure they pull a new IP address (cycling the power button is not sufficient).
Once you have the LAN-to-WAN configuration working, you can switch to LAN-to-LAN, if you want. Using a LAN-to-LAN connection makes the Actiontec into a switch and MOCA bridge. Follow the instructions in Part 4 of the FAQ:

edit: Added reset of STBs. |
