I moved from an apartment where they had run ethernet to a jack for me to plug it into my own router, it was nice. My new apartment the installer came over when i wasn't there (my gf was there) and he installed a coax jack next to my router and supplied a huge frontier box (wireless router/modem). And then connected it to my router.
After much configuration I finally got it to run good on my router, and I started wondering if I'm going to get the same latency and speeds as it was on ethernet straight from the box. I'm paying for a 30/10 connection. I'm sure the coax is enough, but it's the cheap Frontier box and coax connection together that I wonder about.
My ultimate question is, I have an old motorola DOCSIS 3.0 Surfboard modem (when I had Comcast) that I have laying around, will it work with it? I assume it will be better. I really dont need all the junk that this huge Frontier box has. I just want a good connection.BTW my router is a DIR-655.
I work for a place that has its own TV broadcast system. From the central site we have contracted fiber connectivity to each of our 10 remote locations. To each location we currently have fiber for data (1Gbps) and fiber to transport our TV channels. Am am looking for a device that can take in our TV channels on coax and give me an rj45 ethernet connection so I can plug the unit into a data switch to use our data fiber for everything (if I need 10 units at the central site to do this, that is fine).taking the ethernet back to coax to distribute TV to all of the TVs in the building. This would eliminate me 10 point to point fiber links.
I am trying to set up my E1200 router to Frontier FIOS internet. I went thru the setup and it failed to connect to the internet. What settings do I need? Frontier says that it should find the connection automatically.
So I got a new router (DIR 655), but I forgot Verizon FIOS is using coaxial cable in my house. I looked around and seems like I can just call them to have it switched to ethernet connection. Would that cost extra? Or can I just do it myself? I don't have FIOS TV btw.
We live in the boondocks, and are forced to have Frontier for our ISP. We need to reconnect frequently, sometimes several times a day. We'd like to find an alternative to Frontier, and not a satellite connection (been there, done that). We are thinking about seeing if VerizonWireless could be our ISP but before I talk to them I'd like to know how much data we download. I asked Frontier but because our plan is unlimited, they say they have no way to knowing our data download per month. We have a Gigaset SE567 modem, and I'm wondering if there is some way to figure out our data download from that.
I have a Westel 750044, and I would like to use it only as a modem, and use my WRTG54S as my router. Do I need to just change this line [URL] to "Bridge", plug in my router to the modem, and configure the router? My Current VC Setup:[URL]Mostly I want to do this to enable DMZ mode, and also because the whole Verizon/Frontier difference on this modem/router combo is killing me?
This Cisco connects to another by VPN and both are 871 Models.
Last sunday the VPN just dropped off the face of the earth and couldnt get it back. We all though it was the modem. We had teh ISP come in and check everything outa nd he swapped modems.
I got the VPN back up but it drops packets left and right.Neither router has computer data going across it, it is all radio traffic for a taxi company.
The only change I made to the router here is entered a gateway (before it was 0.0.0.0 and it worked fine) and changed teh DNS numbers (which really dont matter too much as there is no internet data).
The modem is setup as PPPOE instead of bridge with a single static IP. I do a pingplotter test out of that router to another Static ip (our own internet connection through Charter Communications) and I get 100% packetloss across all the HOPS.
On a side note I do the reverse. I pingplott INTO the router from another network and it goes allt he way through till it hits the modem.
How can I tell if its the router causing the problem or the Modem?
I have a DIR-655 (RevA) which I have been very happy with when used with a broadband wireless ISP. We just recently obtained Frontier DSL and I want to use my already configured DIR-655 with the new service. I have successfully bridged the Westell 7500 DSL modem provided by Frontier (DHCP server turned off, mode set to bridge-bridge.) I tested this by attaching a laptop and verifying that it was assigned a WAN IP address and that I could ping resources on the Internet.
When I attach the DLink and start it up, it gets a WAN address and everything looks good, but I can not ping (from the router) to any resource on the Internet (by IP address), including the assigned gateway. It goes without saying that computers attached to the DIR-655 are also unable to ping addresses on the Internet. Oh, I have cloned the Westell modem's MAC address to the DLink router as well.
Any special settings in the DIR-655 that are required to work with Frontier/Verizon's DSL network? Or compatibility issues? and I've updated to the 1.35NA firmware.
I have been trying for a week now to figure out how to wire the upstairs bedroom in my house, I live in michigan and don't want to go on the roof.Found these on Amazon and was wondering which would be most reliable as I have both a coax cable and power lines in my bedroom .
i'm trying to connect my xbox360 to the internet. I'm upstairs, my modem and router are downstairs. I'd prefer not to have to get a wireless adaptor for my xbox, but if that's the only way, i'll settle with that.We have Comporium internet. I can get cable if I hook a cable box up to the coax port in the wall upstairs. I have been looking at coax to ethernet adaptors, hoping I could go from the coax in the wall, to the adaptor, right into the back of the xbox. Is this possible?
Using particular coax cable between a MGX and a Cisco 3845 router. The router has a NM-1A-T3/E3 network module (most likely since the label that the guys onsite saw at the back of the router says 1A-T3.The MGX meanwhile has a AXSME-16T3E3 front card and a SMB 8TE (?) back card, based on what our client said. There is presently a miniBNC-to-BNC coax cable connecting the MGX to the 3845, muck like the picture below. There are CRC errors on the ATM interface and the client would like to replace this cable. Unfortunately, I cannot find the exact Cisco cable for this.
I need BNC Coax cable that is longer than 10'. However, I notice when i went shopping for 15' or 20'. They don't come with Ferrite Beads.
Question: do I need Ferrite Beads on the cable that is longer than 10'. If yes, can I used the standalone beads which sells seperate, does all ferrite are the same?
I don' know how to setup the LinkSys WRT45G (v2) router properly for the way I want to have things wired. I have Verizon FIOS in basement with MoCA enabled coax line going into a splitter, running lines throughout the house. The main router (Actiontec MI424WR) is on the first floor, east side of house connected by coax and the area I want to put the second access point (LinkSys) is on the second floor, west side of house. So very weak wireless signal where the LinkSys is at. I used a Actiontec Verizon Coaxial Network Adapter to plug into the coax outlet in the 2nd floor room. Then run an ethernet cable from that unit to a older LinkSys router WRT45g (v2). I wanted this router to provide a wireless access point and also a place to plug a Sonos unit into. On the back of the router is the usual RJ-45 port and the 4-port switch. I have the line coming from the moca adapter (source) going into port 1 of the switch, the Sonos 5 plugged into port 2 of the switch. I am able to connect and control the Sonos units about 50% of the time like this, but sometimes nothing can be found. I believe this is because my phone can not connect to the wireless when I am upstairs, anotherwards the LinkSys router is not working right. If I plug the ethernet cable from the MoCA adapter into the RJ-45 interent port (like I think it should be, since it is the source), then nothing works.Also, I do not know if the router is functioning as a wireless access point, I am suspecting it is not.The router still has stock firmware, has DHCP disabled, the security and SSID identical to the primary router.
Got a customer who is considering using 1/2" plenum to feed APs instead of twisted pair. The coverage target is a medium traffic office space with a focus on voice, data and video. Are there any concerns in using coax rather than twisted pair?
The RG-59 coax cables that come with the 1310 bridge are only 1 foot long. where I could get longer cables as the power injector is quite a distance away because there are no close power sockets. Instead of installing new power sockets near to the bridge, we wanted to simply run longer coax cables.
how far apart an Aironet 1410 Bridge can be from the Power Injector (Dual Coax feeds). I just can't find the specification details. The device comes with a 20' and 50' F-type and I'm looking at 150' runs for both ends of the bridge pair.
My main Internet connection is a frontier modem /router It is on the main level of the house. In the basement I am trying to set up the cisco E3000 through an Ethernet cable.
I have Verizon FIOS. I am using their Actiontec router. I turned on WPA2. All is working well. I wanted to turn it off to diagnose a problem with one device. I can see no way to turn it off. To turn it on you click WPA2. you put in an 8 digit "password" etc and it works. There seems to be no way to turn it off. Am I overlooking something? I tried deleting the password. but it gives you an error and remindes you the password needs to be 8 characters.
I had Verizon install an additional router since I have expanded my CAT5 lines in my home. When the tech installed the second router her told me I had to network them otherwise I would have issues but he couldn't do it because he did not know how.
I have an Actiontec wireless router (from Verizon) connected to my FiOS. Can I connect a second wireless router to my FiOS to provide 2 different wireless networks and if so, how do I connect it?
How to hook up a seperate wireless router instead of using the fios router. I want to get a n-signal in my house. Would like an answer or a link to another thread.
I tried connecting this on my own and it worked for hard wired Internet service but not for wireless service. Too many cables and boxes attached. I have a vz router, then some other box, and a battery back up.
I have FIOS and a router provided by verizon. they installed it in the basement and the wi-fi range needs to be improved in my house. I have 2 old linksys routers and a netgear DSL modem/router (with "N") that I'd like to use as an access point or range extender. how do I set this up?
For some reason, whenever I go home (I'm in college right now), my internet goes haywire. It'll connect for about an hour or so when I first load it up, but after that, it refuses to connect at all. If I restart my modem (verizon fios modem), then it'll connect for about 5 minutesIf I run the troubleshooter, sometimes it doesn't detect anything wrong with it, and other times, it says "the default gateway is not available"[CODE]
I've got Verizon Triple Play. Basically, my Internet, TV and Phone all come into my house on a Fiber Optic line. Well, I take that back, I don't quite understand what the FiOS Phone really is or how the signaling works.
I have this All-in-One machine, the HP OfficeJet 7310 (link to product information). I hooked it up to my network (printer to router via Ethernet port) the other day and it works great with printing from all of my clients, well the printing does. I haven't tried the scanning portion, yet but I would assume it works just fine. What I didn't hook up, is a phone line to it. I wanted to know if there's a way to fax through my network, thus eliminating the need for a telephone connection. I figured there COULD be a way, if my Phone at some point came through the Fiber Optic.
I have a MI424WR for my Verizon Fios connection. The router is located downstairs, and I don't get Wifi in my bedroom upstairs. Is it possible to connect another WIFI router by ethernet to the MI424WR? Is there anyway where I can do it without the two router's wifi signals fighting each other? Is there a specific kind of router I should be looking for?
Set up a repeater for their house to get a better signal in locations farther from their main router that is a Verizon Actiontec M1424-WR Rev. C. I am recommending that he get an old router (Linksys wrt54GL or E2000) that I can convert into a repeater with DDWRT firmware as a cheap solution, or with a purpose built Netgear or Linksys range extender repeater as a more $ solution.
I currently use Verizon FiOS 20/5. The speed has been great until the day my cousin and his parents moved in. They also use our FiOS connection and I have came to the conclusion that my cousin's laptop is eating away all of the bandwidth which makes all devices using FiOS have extremely slow internet speeds. I know it is his computer because I logged in as admin to the Verizon FiOS page (192.168.1.1) and I saw that he is using several P2P applications and downloading torrents as well. Is there a way I can limit the bandwidth he is using so that the internet speed can improve? I looked at the QoS tab and tried to play around with the settings, but I don't want to mess it up. The router I have is Actiontec M1424-WR (Verizon FiOS 20 Down/5 Up). A lot of sources I am reading says that I have to use the QoS, but I don't know how to use it on the site.
Im having problems staying connected to my internet. I have Verizon Fios router that is wired into this desktop i also have 2 laptops and now im trying to connect a second desktop wirelessly to the router. My Netgear Rangemax PCI picks up the signal at 68% and connects to the router. But periodically it disconnects from the router and i click connect to a network icon and it shows that i have no wireless internet as if no PCI card is installed so i wait a min then it shows up again and windows network diagnostic kicks in and "resets the network adapter" and all is well for about 15min till it disconnects again.
My macbook is able to detect my router, but the router cannot connect to the internet. I was wondering if the E1200 requires a modem, where as FIOS only offers ONT?
