Verizon Preps Launch of New FiOS Gateway Tuesday Sep 02 2014 08:33 EDT Verizon's ActionTec routers have never been what you'd call cutting edge, the company taking an extraordinarily long time to even offer 802.11N Wi-Fi functionality (and when they finally did, only offering 2.4Ghz). Now Dave Zatz has noticed that Verizon FiOS customers will finally be getting newer gear, some FiOS Quantum customers getting the new Greenwave G1100. The G1100 offers everything up to 802.11ac, and looks to have integrated Zigbee home automation support. Users in our forums suggest Verizon's purging old router inventory by providing their older ActionTec routers free with upgrades to 50 Mbps speeds or higher. |

Great newsMaybe this will be the ticket to help me overlook my ever-increasing bill, terrible internet routing and soon-to-be internet cap. Then again, I ditched the Actiontec for something with better wireless(and wired) performance a long time ago. | |

"almost" too little too lateI'm already running an Pfsense box behind and REV C 424 in bridge mode. Hopefully by the end of this year I'll have an Ethernet drop from my ONT to my pfsense box. I have my Tivo Premiere acting as my MOCA bridge feeding all the ECB2200s all over my house. | |
