gs0b,

Regarding your Step 2 and the router password from my label:

 

Which of the following is the router password?

 

WEP KEY:

WPS PIN:

WAN MAC:

 

Thanks for your detailed post.



None of them.

 

WPS pin?  I didn't think Verizon routers had WPS active.  WPS is an easy way to configure your devices, but can be a security whole as well.  WPS PIN on a router is specifically the security hole as it can easily be broken.  WPS button is a technique that is still reasonably secure as its only active for a short time for a single configuration when you press it.

 

Some of the new routers have a password listed.  Older ones from Verizon use either

 

password

password1

serial number of the router.

or ask you to create one when you first logon
