A few things before you start

By clicking on "I Agree," you confirm that you have read and agree to the each of the following:

This interactive guide is subject to Verizon Mobile and Home Community Terms of Service and User Guidelines. This interactive guide is created and maintained by a Verizon community member and was not prepared by Verizon, who is not responsible for its content.
Bridging Fios-G1100 into an existing network (hereafter simply called bridging) is NOT officially supported by Verizon. Any issues arising from this setup will NOT be handled by Verizon Support. You can, however, ask for help on this community.
This interactive guide is for demonstration purpose ONLY. It NEITHER emulates NOR affects the operation of your Fios-G1100.
I Agree

Before proceeding, you must:

disconnect all devices, whether through Ethernet, coax, or WiFi, from Fios-G1100, except the computer that you plan to access Fios-G1100's web graphical user interface (GUI).
disconnect WAN Ethernet or WAN coaxial cable from Fios-G1100. The front globe LED should now illuminate red.
confirm that you have sucessfully set up another primary router. The primary router has Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enabled.
Proceed

End of the Tutorial

You have finished the Fios-G1100 bridging guide.

You can now connect an Ethernet cable between a LAN port of the Fios-G1100 and a LAN port of your primary router. If you are bridging the G1100 with a G3100 or a CR1000A/B, you can connect a coax cable between them.

If you need additional assistance, please leave a message on the dicussion board.

Step6 Under IP Address Distribution section, change the dropdown "IP Address Distribution" to "Disabled." Next
Step7 Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page to apply the changes. Notice: Router GUI may disconnect. You need to use the new IP address to access the GUI. Finish

This interactive guide demonstrates how to bridge a Fios-G1100 into an existing network. If you need further assistance after finishing the guide, please post in the discussion board below.

Our Super Users are making strides to create a similar guide for the newer Fios Router (G3100) and Verizon Router (CR1000A/B).
