FiOS Internet

[#1]

OMG to hard can't i just do it simple some way... I really don't like the fios router... I was fine with the verizon DSL modem but not with the verizon fios modem/router. I hate verizon fios for that because i can't use my router that i bought -.- Sucks and i don't know how to do the things you said can't i just take out the coaxal connector out of wall and replace with ethernet face plate or whatever you call it... How hard is it to do what you said bout the ethernet face plate? Do i just go around until the ethernet wires go out? Please tell me i wanna upgrade my router really badly

If you really wish to remove the Coax connection, you can simply take the wall jack off the wall, disconnect the coax cable from the back of the connection, and from there, tape (securely!) your UNTERMINATED (meaning just wire, no connector on the end of it) CAT5e cable to the end of the Coax cable. If it's a first floor run, you can just go to the basement of your home and pull down on the coax cable gently which will bring the CAT5e cable down with it. Second floor pulls are much more risky and prone to screwing up. From there, it's a matter of wiring things up. There's a technique to it, but it's pretty easy to do. The site I linked to above tells you how to do it.

Like I said though, if you're not comfortable with doing the wiring, you can get someone out to do it for you. I would prefer to leave the Coaxiable cable in place for the future, if at all possible. They do sell wall jacks that take both RJ45 cables (Ethernet) and Coaxial cables.

Oh they do can you give me the link for both the coaxil and ethernet port? Mostly the one in stores i don't buy stuff online

Do you have FIOS-TV?

If so, you can't get rid of the Actiontec.  It's needed to provide internet connectivity for the STBS.

Combination coax/RJ45 wall plates can be found at Radio Shack, Home Depot and Loews in both modular and preassembled versions.

BTW, the Actiontec is a MOCA capable router, not a modem.  FIOS does not use modems.

Nope i don't have fios tv as said before... Anyways I got the router to work but the wifi didn't work... So confusing and i spend 2 hours on tech support with netgear... and 5 hours yesterday and they couldn't get my internet up so i did it myself i got it up myself but i can't get the wifi to work i see the SSID in my network list but it won't let me join...the lan internet on the router works. I will try to find a long enough cable to go to the box outside

{word filter avoidance} YES!!!! I GOT IT TO WORK FINALLY!!!!! I didn't need to connect ethernet wire to the verizon FIOS Router... I am using coaX and my 2nd router is working as it should be!!! And now i am getting my full speed of 25/25 wireless!!!!! HAPPY DAY !!! HAHA I did it if you want to know how i did it i will show how i plugged in my router and my verizon router. I also disabled the verizon wifi feature on the Verizon router... Okay here is the pic of the ports connected and that i am online...SO Happy i don't have to use the verizon wifi : ) and now i get full speed wohoo and i didn't even had to change to ethernet port for the verizon router

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH VERIZON ROUTER GOT OWNED BY MY NEW ROUTER!!!!AND THE BEST PART IS I FIGURED OUT MYSELF WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING!!!!! I am so proud of myself

Glad to hear you've figured it out! Let us know if you need anything else.

i bought a belkin and shut off the verizon wireless and now getting 68megs vs 19 on verizon they suck so bad

[#9]

Yup they suck cause the verizon rev E is only B+G so you need a B+G+N to get better wifi speed. Don't listen to verizon rep that says you can't achieve great speed over wifi. Just buy there gigE verison  which has B+G+N or just use a third party router that supports N.

I have the Rev. I Actiontec which is wireless N. But still, with it  I could only achieve the typical speed you'd get from a wireless g router.  I hooked up an Asus router to use its wireless instead of the Actiontech's and get the full provisioned speed.

The Actiontec sux even if it is the wireless N version.
