I assign the same IPs to my 3 devices via my router so that I don't have to deal with leases expiring. Any idea why this happens? Are there any changes that anyone recommends? I'm using a non-Verizon DI-624 (version C) with firmware 2.70.
Is the DHCP server enabled when you assign the ip from the router? It appears the clients are acquiring ip's from the server and granted ip's before the router's static assignments could take effect. Try to remove the ip reservations from the router, disable DHCP server then assign static ip's from your pc's TCPIP properties.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15867555 Mon, 10 Apr 2006 13:48:12 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15867191
Anyhow, recommend reading this if you have not:

»Wireless Networking Forum FAQ »Why is my wireless connection so slow?

Also, turning off this "Super" or "Turbo" junk usually gets a lot of crap out of the ether. Quite often the device is trying to hog up multiple channels which in an urban area makes things difficult for everyone. Beyond that, I don't see in this thread where the signal strength is mentioned? Are you right next to it at 100% signal or halfway across the house at 30% signal? Couple of other things, useful to test speed from WiFi to a host on LAN then you know how fast the WiFi really is, not just the random variable of WAN connection from one minute to the next. Keep things simple and controlled, get it tweaked and then expand outward.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15867191 Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:55:59 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15865790 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15865790 Mon, 10 Apr 2006 08:14:40 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15813440 The reason I ask is because FiOS is "OPEN" PPPoE, which means any Username, any Password will produce a connection. PPPoE is essentially a dial up type protocol.

DSL which did not cause this problem, is normal PPPoE which means you can only get a connection with the use of the exact User/Pass for your account.

I don't even know if it's possible, but was wondering if another connector (possible the Sprint dial up) couldn't produce a connection for a short time, till it decided it was on the wrong network, drop the connection, let the next (correct) wireless connection come up, and produce a good connection.

Is the Sprint connector an XP created, log on with username and password broadband connector?

I don't know if there's anywhere in the logs that would tell you which connector is being used, or if you could get Network Connections open early enough to watch the connectors when that first connection comes up. I would just disable them one at a time, to see if one is producing that temporary connection at start-up. Your call. I guess you're quite sick of rebooting the laptop by now; I sure would be.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15813440 Sun, 02 Apr 2006 16:49:33 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15813200
John, my Sprint wireless connection is listed in the Dial-Up section of the network connections. When not in use (when I am at home using FIOS) the status is "disconnected". In the LAN or high-speed section, I have 3 listings. One is my wireless connection ("enabled"), one is listed as Local Area Connection ("network cable unplugged") and is an Intel Pro/1000 MT Mobile Connection, and the other is an AGN Virtual Network Adapter ("Enabled"). The only time I plug an ethernet cable into my laptop is when I am at my main office which is on rare occasion.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15813200 Sun, 02 Apr 2006 16:08:32 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15812800 said by Rich16:

I do use a Sprint wireless card (plugged into a slot on my laptop) at work during the week. Rich, do you have 2 separate LAN connectors in Network connections? If yes, have you tried disabling the one for the Sprint card? What type of connection is the Sprint on (DHCP, PPPoE)?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15812800 Sun, 02 Apr 2006 15:11:25 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15812673 said by Rich16:

I must respectfully disagree that this has "nothing" to do with FIOS. The issues that I am having were not evident when I had Verizon DSL using the same router. If you read through the entire thread, you will see some unusual issues that FIOS users have observed. It may or may not be related to FIOS.

Rob, I set up the static IP per your suggestion but I'm still experiencing the same issues for about the first 3 minutes after turning on my laptop.
I must appologize for my lack of tact, that said, the problem you are having is related to wireless signals dropping out or being killed by walls and objects in the line of sight of you signal.

Wireless connections are notorious for their inconsistency, the fact that you had a "better" connection with your last router I do not doubt, I have 2 Linksys in my house and one Airlink in the front room, still with sveasoft software for the linksys routers and the radio signal turned up, i still have problems at times.

Antennas are a BIG part of the picture as is getting 3rd party software for the router to turn up the radio output settings.

in the end Wireless NEVER comes close to a wired Ethernet connection or worse to a FIOS connection.

still this thread would be better off in a wireless forum such as DLINK since IIRC the router supplied by Verizon is a Dlink?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15812673 Sun, 02 Apr 2006 14:50:35 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15812468

Does that laptop log in at another location with a different IP than 192.168.0.102. I had a laptop that used to come in here and fight with the PCs and printer trying to get the same IP it got at home. I got so tired of it creating conflicts that I set everything to static IPs outside the DHCP range of the router, and only the laptops operate within the DHCP range dispensed from the router.

edit: The LAN connector on the laptop was not created to do the PPPoE (username/password) authentication, was it? ie: A situation where both the router and the LAN connector are both wanting to do PPPoE authentication.

It looks like you get a series of acquiring a lease, repeatedly; a pause, a release of the IP, then reauthentication and acquire a lease and it's fine from there out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15806098 Sat, 01 Apr 2006 12:19:39 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15805773

The router is receiving a proper connection. Your issue is from the wireless side of the router out. Have you run the Verizon optimizer on the laptop?

said by Rich16:

I've had FIOS since December and recently upgraded to the 15/2 package. I'm consistently getting those speeds using my desktop that is directly hooked up to my router. However, my wireless PC is very inconsistent. One day I will get speeds around 12/1.8 and the next day I may get speeds under 1.0 (both upload and download).

I didn't ask you to shovel a bunch of crap in here. I asked "what the ONT has to do with how the wireless portion of the router behaves".

The desktop through the wired portion of this same router has no speed problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15802710 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 21:37:22 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15801910 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15801910 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 19:42:38 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15796821 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15796821 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 00:31:09 EDT Re: [northeast] Inconsistent Wireless Speeds http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Inconsistent-Wireless-Speeds-15795738
