Real/True FIOS uses FIber Optics all the way to the home
Anything that is called FIOS that does not use Fiber Optics all the way to the home, is not real/true FIOS.

Re: Router G3100 Port and port forwarding
wrote: I am having the same issue. I can do port forwarding for RDP. It use to work before I upgraded to the G3100.
I have tried everything.
I have tested the port and its open but still cant RDP. I can do it inside the network but outside I cant. I use IP and my DDNS and still no luck.
I done it this way but still does not work..Keep in mind I used port 3389 not the one in the example. I got the photo from the internet. But its the same configuration but using port 3389 for both UDP and TCP.
See if the port is open from the outside.
#1 This could mean using a port checker.
An example of a web based port checker, is
https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
If you use a web based port checker, be sure that:
the server is in the listening state and you are forwarding the ports that you want to check.
If you use an inbound client side port checker like http://www.pcwintech.com/simple-port-tester or from https://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm then be sure that:
you are forwarding the ports that you want to check and the server that you are trying to forward is NOT in the listening state.
Stated reason that the server that you make sure the server trying to forward is NOT in the listening state when using an inbound client side port checker, when using this kind of port checker - it will try to listen on that port and you can not have two servers listening on the same port at the same time.
#2 Or you can have someone try to connect from the outside. When they do this, it does not have to be for RDP if desired - it just has to be server of sorts.
#3 Once you know that the port is open from the outside (not talking about from behind the router), it will be explained what is going on.

Re: G1100 and WCB6200Q... use the FNE as an access point with unique SSID?
What you read is correct. The FNE will clone the SSID/WPA2 of the G1100. Unfortunately there is no way to change this as that is what they are designed to do. If you do manually login and chage the SSID/WPA2, then it will eventually change it back to the G1100’s wifi credentials.

Re: motorhome setup
A cellular wireless solution might require an antenna to route the signal through the metal encased motor home. The Verizon Wireless Community forum might be place to start if you are wanting to stay with Verizon for the service. https://community.verizonwireless.com/

Re: intermittent connectivity issues
I just spent an hour on the phone with Verizon after several support chats and days of checking things on my local network. The only thing they're willing to do now is send out a tech to satisfy their internal processes and essentially waste my time to pinpoint an issue much higher up in the network. Really unacceptable.
I have a request in to speak to someone higher up and who presumably works on the network team and not the customer support team to get to the bottom of it. It's crazy that Verizon thinks it's acceptable for customers to jump through hoops so that an issue with their network, which is affecting people up and down the east coast, can be pinpointed. It's also equally astounding that a legitimate network issue takes this much effort to address and that no Verizon representatives on the forums have acknowledged this.

Re: G1100 and WCB6200Q... use the FNE as an access point with unique SSID?
Thanks for your reply and confirming my observation. My specific issue is that I have a couple of devices, including a new smart TV, which sometimes gravitates from the stronger WiFi signal of the FNE to the weaker WiFi signal of the router, even though the router is physically further from the devices. The symptom for the TV is that is goes from great streaming to no streaming.
I have a backup plan. I have plenty of access to coax so I'll buy a FIOS MOCA network adapter (or equivalent) and attach an Ethernet cable between the adapter and the TV. Can't beat a wired connection. Thanks again.

Battery backup for G3100?
I just got the latest Verizon Router the G3100, does it have a battery backup or can I get one?

Fios Parental Control rule disappeared
I set up a parental control rule to block wifi access during certain times on one device.
The rule is working.
However, when I go to the router portal to change or remove it, there are no rules listed. That was the only rule and now it's as if the rule was never created. But it's still working!
How can I find and remove the rule? Is there an alternative by resetting the router? If so, how do I do that?

Re: Battery backup for G3100?
None of the Verizon routers ever had a battery backup. The ONT which is the main unit the fiber cable connects to has one. It is a voice backup only.
If you want a UPS for your G3100 you will also need one for your ONT. If you have a power outage you will need to backup the ONT and the G3100.
Here is a link to different ones on Amazon...

Re: Fios Parental Control rule disappeared
I would try rebooting the router first. If that doesn’t help you will most likely have to reset the router.

Re: G1100 and WCB6200Q... use the FNE as an access point with unique SSID?
You can also connect the TV to the FNE’s ethernet port. Or would that be too difficult?

Re: G1100 and WCB6200Q... use the FNE as an access point with unique SSID?
That indeed is a good suggestion... and it would solve the TV issue... but the WiFi coverage of router and the FNE seem to overlap too much resulting in other wireless devices (e.g., wireless light switches/timers) to perform inconsistently. When I take the extender offline, these wireless devices return to normal operation.
Is there a way to turn the radio off in the FNE and leave the Ethernet ports active?
Thanks again.

Re: G1100 and WCB6200Q... use the FNE as an access point with unique SSID?
Yes you can. Login to the router to find the IP address of the 6200. Type the 6200's IP into your browser and the login info is on the sticker of the 6200. You can maybe just disable the 2.4 GHz and leave the 5G on for you devices on that side of the house.

FiOS ONT & G3100 Networking Assistance w/ a MoCA Adapter and TiVos
House is 18 years old, long cable runs to rooms on 3 floors, cannot confirm if they are Cat 6. Used to be a DirecTV customer.
Here's how the ONT is connected to the G3100:
ONT in the basement receiving FiOS from the street.
G3100 on first floor far away from my STBs (TiVo Roamio Pro, Roamio Plus and 7 minis)
Ethernet WAN line from ONT to G3100 on first floor
Please critique this proposed set-up.
Basement coax from ONT to a POE filter and 2 port Verizon splitter (1675 MHz rated)
Split 1: TiVo MoCA 2.0 Adapter (black) with separate input output coax connections and one ethernet port. MoCA adapter coax "input" takes coax line from the splitter and connects to the G3100 via the adapter's coax output line to the G3100 Coax WAN/LAN port. MoCA adapter's ethernet line connected to one of the 4 LAN ethernet ports on the G3100 (yes it's a long separate ethernet cord).
Split 2: The using 1675 MHz-rated splitters to connect the rest of the coax cables that connect the all of my TiVos in my house to the coax output from the ONT
I used to use the Roamio Pro and Roamio Plus to be a MoCA "Bridge" to the TiVo minis with the TiVo minis being a Client.
Set up the TiVo Roamio Pro and Plus as a "Client" (and no longer a "Bridge") to the new MoCA network hopefully created by the MoCA 2.0 Adapter's connections to the G3100.
Any problems with the proposed set-up?
Finally, in a 3rd floor room far away from the G3100, use a TiVo MoCA bridge (white) (only one Coax input port) from the coax cable line to that room to connect a gaming device directly to the ethernet port on the Bridge that hopefully recognizes the new MoCA network created by the Adapter in my basement and provides a fast connection. I plan to use a splitter to connect the coax to the TiVo mini there.

Re: intermittent connectivity issues
Please keep this thread up to date on what you're all seeing.
This issue has persisted for me and is now affecting the STBs in the home by not providing internet for things like the channel guide info. Are you all still have the same problems?

Re: FiOS ONT & G3100 Networking Assistance w/ a MoCA Adapter and TiVos
It's a little hard to picture your proposed setup, but one thing you may want to be careful about is creating a loop by having MoCA adapters which are connected to the G3100 using Ethernet share the same coax as the G3100's MoCA port. Unless your adapters can be set to specific frequencies to operate on that the G3100 isn't using, I'd double check this aspect. Using the G3100's MoCA (Coax) capabilities is optional if you plan to use all of your adapters. Or you can rely on the G3100's MoCA and avoid the adapter you plan to hardwire via Ethernet, if I'm reading this right.

Re: G1100 and WCB6200Q... use the FNE as an access point with unique SSID?
If you have SON enabled with Access Point steering enabled, this could be causing problems with your devices jumping from the FNE to the router. Sometimes turning down the transmit power to make the behavior between each access point can help. Other times if you're using Auto channel selection, locking the channels can help with wireless drops that might be telling your devices to move.
Just my two cents.

Re: motorhome setup
FiOS pulls a Fiber cable to your residence. If you're typically roaming from location to location on a frequent basis, Verizon Wireless service may be suitable for the RV. Just keep in mind, Verizon Wireless does not sell 4G LTE / Satellite service with pure unlimited usage right now, so be mindful of data usage if you plan to be using it for video streaming - video eats up data quickly. 5G service (With unlimited usage for now) is on the horizon but right now has only been tested in and made available in limited markets, until the network is built out more and the technology matures. IF you go with Verizon Wireless, you might want to get an external antenna paired with a 4G LTE Booster for automotive and recreational vehicles to ensure you get a good signal inside. This helps if you're using a Jetpack or Cell Phone for Internet. The Verizon Wireless forums (As someone linked to above) is a better place to ask for help.
Now if you're truly asking about FiOS (as in, the service which offers TV, Internet, and Home Phone over a Fiber Optic cable), Verizon will actually install what is called an ONT, or Optical Network Terminal, somewhere on your property. It likely won't be attached to or installed inside of the RV just because, well, the point of an RV is to be able to drive it somewhere from time to time. So the ONT will be a device which will live likely where your electric, cable, and telephone (landline) hookups live in a weatherproof box with power hook-up available. Then the cable coming into the RV would be an Ethernet (CAT5e) connection or in some cases, Coaxial cable that is already inside of many RVs today. It'll work similar to your power, sewer and water hook-ups, and cable if you happen to have a cable company providing service to you currently.
Another possibility is DSL-based setup which is Internet only. Verizon is trying to phase these out. But if they sell DSL service or sell "FiOS" over DSL, this would ride over the phone lines at your lot.
Now, if you're just trying to access Wi-FI that the campground / park is providing, this really depends on how well the Wi-Fi system was designed. I've been in RV parks where there is no problem getting a signal because the campground installed high powered, highly directional equipment that work similar to those you'd find on a cell phone tower, which can penetrate right through the RV, and is sensitive enough to let your device talk back to the network. The only time you'd need an Antenna outside of your RV to access the Wi-Fi network is if you're in a dead spot, or live in a section where the network was poorly built.
This is probably the best answer I can give you right now. If you have more information on what you're asking about, we can clarify it further.
