Re: [Router] Fios-G1100 firmware update from 02.03.00.08 to 02.03.00.09

Well, this question should be addressed by Verizon engineering.

Another update: verizon.com/speedtest now detects customer router. If no Verizon router is present, the test would skip the Router to Verizon Network test and directly start the Device to Verizon Network test.

If you don't have a G3100, it would remind you that your router is not current.

Not everyone needs the latest Honda Accord for driving around the neighborhood with a 1GB speed limit. Obviously the G1100 is still being supported and receiving security updates, so that is fine for anyone. Particularly if one already has a separate AP for the latest WiFi standards.

I just tried the Verizon speed test. It didn't say anything about my G1100. I'm still on 02.03.00.08, though.

I am not suggesting everyone should get a G3100. I am merely stating my observation.

Did it skip the Router to Network test at least?

Nope. It did both router and device tests, which is what I want. That lets me identify if speed issues are internal or external.

Forgot the fact you have a Verizon router. Yes, that is the expected behavior.

Your comment made it sound like it would nag you if the router is not a G3100, regardless of if it's a G1100.

We woke up to no internet this morning. I ran the Fios test from my cellphone via cellular..it did one test then I got prompted to enter my external WAN IP information, LOL ! I looked at the router and it had been upgraded to .09 and restarted around 1.05am but the external WAN address was given as 0.0.0.0. I rebooted it, and it pulled a valid IP (same one I've had for months) so all well.

Last time I had to use the Fios testing part of the app, it was very straightforward...it restarted my router and then my ONT sequentially after step by step testing so had expected the same this morning, not to be asked to enter my own WAN IP.

Just saw this thread and checked my router G1100, it’s on the new .09 firmware. I ran the Verizon Speedtest by my browser and it did skip the router to Verizon test and went directly to device to network test. No mention of the router not being current. I actually use my own router for my wifi network - it is in bridge mode connected to the Fios router by Ethernet. The Fios radios are turned off.

Previously both router to network and device tests were run but now only the one was run.

Same here. With .09 firmware, no more router test on my G1100. The web site doesn't complain about it either, but I miss having the router test. It was a useful data point when diagnosing speed issues.

Leave it to Verizon to remove a useful feature for no apparent reason.

Might need to reboot your router and wait a day. I doubt Verizon would remove that feature. Rather it's a backend registration issue with their speed test.
