It's a good idea to change the password after this is all done of course. Remember that the username and password resets itself to the actiontec default of 'admin' and 'password'. You will then see 'Restore Defaults' at the lower left side of the screen (under the red toolbox icon). To reset the config to defaults, click on 'Advanced' at the top, then click yes in the confirmation box. Once you are logged in, go ahead and reset the router to the default settings if you have done numerous customizations in the past, otherwise don't worry about it.

If you did a hard reset, you may not be able to reconnect to the ONT due to a configuration issue with the default router settings (I will explain how to get it working as you keep reading). If neither works, you will need to do a hard reset on the router (hold down the reset pinhole with a paperclip for about 10 seconds).

The default username and password for the MI424-WR is 'admin' and 'password, however verizon techs tend to change the password to 'password1'.

Open your web browser and type in 192.168.1.1 in the URL and press 'enter'.

Connect your computer to the MI424-WR using an ethernet connection if you have not done so.

Instead of paying at least $100 to fix something that's not your fault (buying a MoCA to ethernet bridge), make the MI424-WR as a bridge and use a router of your choice! I personally would take this trade off over NAT errors any day. While your overall throughput may drop when using a store bought consumer grade router, your actual usability may increase. This problem makes your FiOS connection next to useless. No one has been able to produce a workaround for this issue and neither actiontec or Verizon has acknowledged this issue officially. This problem seems to be widespread with this router, regardless of which firmware release is used. During this time, you will unable to browse, ping, or connect to anything until you wait about 3 minutes. When the NAT table is overflowed, you will get the 'No IP for NAT - connections may fail' error logged in your MI424-WR's security log. The NAT table is easily overflowed just by running a single bittorrent or in some cases, playing games. As part of the new FiOS installations, you are given an actiontec MI424-WR router The MI424-WR is a pretty decent router (is powerful, has lots of features, and is quite flexible), however the major issue with it at the moment is the puny NAT table (only 1kb in size).

Why make the MI424-WR a bridge? New FiOS installations now connect you using the MoCA system from the ONT, not ethernet, thus preventing you from directly connecting a router of your choice to the ONT (some of you may say that the ethernet jack at the ONT is still there and you could run an ethernet cable to it, but it will NOT work because the ONT was not configured for ethernet connectivity during initial install by verizon). I've experienced hell trying to make the actiontec a bridge and after finding some loose information on making a router of your choice (a thread here and a thread at the techimo forums stated that you needed to release your router IP first before doing anything else), I was able to get everything to work. How-to: make ActionTec MI424-WR a network bridgeĪfter searching all over the web for definitive information about making the actiontec MI424-WR as a network bridge, I was unable to find any. My connection looks like this now, and the network seems far more responsive. actiontec crumbles at gy=undreds of connections, pfsense doesn't break a sweat even at 5k connections(as much as I've tossed at it) Using the following directions, I was able to put actiontec in bridge mode, let pfsense do the heavy lifting, and everyone is happier for it. (I've had to powercycle the actiontec more than once just so http would work.) consider my house with a few machines and no p2p can often exceed 400 connections as reported by the pfsense state number. bittorrent, etc, easily trash this, even with pfsense box as DMZ host. has small (non adjustable) NAT table of approx 1k connections. The actiontec is a fast hardware appliance.

The coax is using 'moca' and allows any tv set top boxes to work over the coax in the home (including whole house dvr, etc) and get their updates via IP.

The current and future verizon connections will look like this:įiber–ONT-coax-actiontec router- wireless/wired LAN.
