What's the newest revision of Actiontec MI424? I'm receiving a replacement router for my Rev. F and want to find out whether I get the newest revision or not.

Maybe, depending on what devices you need to attach wirelessly. I have an Actiontec Rev. D and replaced it with a Rev. I, and the speed was pretty much the same. But the Rev. I came set for WPA2 in B/G/N compatibility mode, I changed that to WPA2 N Performance Mode with AES encryption, and the speed went way up. Of course this change eliminated any B/G wireless connectivity, so I have my old Rev. D connected to one of the LAN ports on the Rev. I and use that for an old laptop that does not have an N adapter:
Rev. I is on the bottom, Rev. D top.
If you have only N devices you should be able to get a significant speed increase by making the changes I mentioned above.

So the Actiontec router does not have multiple SSID capability? That's very limiting..

Verizon Rev. I are Wireless N but lack many features of other N routers (5ghz band, multiple SSIDs, ect.) and I find the range to be disappointing (but better than E.) Unless you are somehow getting it for free, just do some shopping on Amazon. Then set-up the second router behind your FIOS one. For the $70ish you'd pay for Verizon's you can get a much better one and more flexibility if you move to a different ISP.
