<title>Troubleshoot WiFi?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23309159</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've had FiOS for about a year and the ActionTec has been very good for me (much to my surprise). However, just the other day everyone in the house started noticing that they couldn't stay connected to the WiFi connection. Regular connections are just fine but WiFi is horrible.

I tried resetting the ActionTec and changing various settings (finally adding WEP encryption though I really don't live anywhere where that would be a problem) but nothing will fix this.

Is there something I should do to troubleshoot this and determine if I need another router? I'm trying to avoid the complexity of the ActionTec in bridge mode. Things are nice and simple this way except for this new problem.

On another thought, if I wanted to improve things I've got an 8-port router upstairs (the ActionTec is downstairs) so I'm thinking just adding a Wireless-N access point would be good. Thoughts?]]></description>

<title>[northeast] Slow upload with 25/15 package</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23213484</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've had Verizon FIOS 25/15 for a few months now. I remember speed testing shortly after I got the service and I was happy seeing the 15mbps upload speed. However, I noticed some sluggishness today and to my surprise, all the upload speed tests that I have run (near server and far server) have not shown an upload speed approaching the 15mbps. Most speed tests yield an upload speed of 2 to 5mbps. I haven't changed anything at all. What is happeneing? Anyone else seeing this (with 25/15)? Verizon FIOS - please check.

Thanks!]]></description>

<title>New FIOS Installation</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23299099</link>
<description><![CDATA[I live in an old schoolhouse in a Boston suburb that was converted to condominiums in 1985. It is wired for cable and Comcast is our only choice at this point. I contacted the president of the condo association about FIOS, which is available in my town and right on my street, and has been for about 3 years now, although it was never brought into our building. She in turn contacted Verizon today. She notified me that Verizon told her that it was not in out building because nobody has requested it yet. I personally requested it quite a few times and was told that it wasn't available every time, but that is another issue. My question has to do with the installation. The condo president tells me that Verizon told her that all the wiring from the main junction box in the basement up to each unit, and all wiring in the walls of each unit belong to Comcast. Does this sound right? I would think that all wiring up to the main junction box is Comcasts, but after that from each tap to each unit and all wiring in the walls belong to the association and unit respectively. Can someone please clarify this for me? I told her this and she said that they told her that it didn't matter anyways, that all new wiring would have to be fished trough the walls into each unit . Can FIOS not work on regular cable wire (I assume it is RG59 or RG6)? Is it customary to run all new wiring when installing FIOS? That seems like a ton of work, especially to get the run into the upper floor units. I am hoping that there is an underground chase that Comcast used, but the condo owns, that would be used as a conduit from the street into the building. Any info on this subject will be greatly appreciated. I want to get as much info together as I can before contacting Verizon directly.]]></description>

<title>Plug directly into ONT?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23299046</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, my contract with my current ISP, TV, and phone provider is coming to an end.  Verizon has recently, as in the past 6 months or so, extended it's FiOS network to my house.  I definitely wouldn't object to the speed boost but I have been researching and come across some things that I am kinda confused about.

I have heard that I can not use the Actiontech and plug directly into the ONT and it will work.  Maybe if possible get them to put the ONT near my networked area, or get them to run CAT5 or CAT6 to where I want them (this would be a fairly short run).  Maybe it requires something else that I missed in a couple FAQ guides that mentioned it.  Note that I don't plan on getting their TV service, nothing against their service it is just that I already get all the channels + more that I need now.  Also, I don't really want to learn all the channel numbers again (had the same service provider for 20 or so years).  

So basically I was just wondering what sort of hardware I may need prior installing if this is indeed doable.  I already have a wired gigabit "gaming" router, a wired switch, and a wireless N router.  All used in my current networking of the house.  Everything on the wireless router doesn't require a ton of speed just basic browsing, but I have good speeds with the wireless router even so.  The wired router is my main one and I use it for everything, although I ran out of ports for a couple of my gaming consoles so I have a cheap switch in play just to add a few more slots to connect my PS3 and Wii to the net.   I also have a few unused ethernet cables of different lengths if I would need that.  

Also, what I should ask for when the Verizon Tech comes by.  Can they install CAT5/6 from the start instead of COAX to make what I want to do, if possible, even easier?]]></description>

<title>Pre-Installation Question</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23305391</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a telephone pole in my yard on the left front and to the side of my older ranch style home. However, my power meter is on the right side in the rear of my garage. Did anyone have this same delima and how did they resolve it? Will they just wrap the fiber around the house until they get to the power meter location? My ideal plan would be to get the fiber ran through my attic from the side where the pole is to my garage where the meter and my house wiring is terminated in the newly installed (by me so no phone at the moment - presently all cellular home) Network/Phone box.

Thanks for some input, especially if you already resolved the same in your home.]]></description>

<title>Westell 9100EM - Strange error message in log.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23308326</link>
<description><![CDATA[Getting this error message in the router's log:

daemon.warn sys_if_ioctl_mii_execute:507: Both tried MII ioclts 8947/89F0 failed: Operation not supported.
(repeats x amount of times)

Should I be concerned about this?
And can anyone provide an explanation of the log entry?

Thanks

<title>[How-to] Telnet 9100EM / Access Hidden Functions</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23306753</link>
<description><![CDATA[I don't know if this has been posted before, but I thought it might interest those who still have a Westell:

The Verizon firmware disables telnet, by default.  Any attempt to telnet on the default port (23) is rejected and a telnet to port 80 results in nothing fruitful.

In order to re-enable telnet, click the "Advanced" tab in the web management console, then go to "Configuration File".  After saving the configuration file, open it in your favorite text editor and search for "telnets".  

The first "telnets" pertains to usable ports, clicking "Find Next" brings us to "telnets ( (disabled(1))".  

Change it to (0), save the configuration file, and then use the "Load configuration file" button to load your changes.  Then, telnet to your router (no port necessary) and use your web console's user name and password to login.

From here, you will find every possible setting and diagnostic function.]]></description>

<title>2 Actiontec and 1 SSID?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23300882</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have two Actiontec MI424-WR.  They are not connected to the ONT.

I want to use them for general LAN and wireless use.  I want to set both the the same SSID and same WEP key.  I plan to have one in the basement and one on the 2nd floor.

Doing this, will they both work together, providing good coverage no matter where I am (its a big house), and allow my wireless devices to use one or the other whenever I move to an area where one signal is better than the other?  What if I periodically disconnect one of the Actiontec?

Thanks
Joe]]></description>

<title>&#x22;Cache Entry&#x22; Crisis</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23300180</link>
<description><![CDATA[Suddenly yesterday, I started getting frequent emails from my Verizon Actiontec router (have it set up to notify me of problems) that say "Fri Nov  6 05:49:17 2009
 ... Cannot find cache entry for mac 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ret=-1
[repeated 20 times, first time at Fri Nov  6 05:39:47 2009"

where the x's are the Mac address of my laptop. Changed the port it was plugged into, and the Cat 6 connecting it (all wired; wireless is off), but still getting them every hour around the clock. 

The laptop is usually turned off, but this happens even if I turn it on. The laptop, networking, Internet access, file sharing, etc. all work perfectly, and it shows up on the "my network" section of the router pages.

The only thing that changed is that I spoke with Verizon early yesterday about my DVR and off-handedly mentioned the higher speeds being offered, and at first I thought this might be a sign they were trying to raise the speeds, but that's not the case.

Any ideas? This is very concerning to me.
