Re: Fact: Verizon ActionTec Routers(Wireless G) models are no longer optimal for Verizon Fios(50d/25

My wireless router (MI424WR-GEN2, firmware rev. 20.21.0.2) routinely drops wifi when downloading a large file.  Yesterday, I tried to download a DVD, I was not able to download it. My radio kept getting turned off.  All I have to do is start downloading a DVD, and my wireless radio will get turned off. I have to powercycle the router to get it working again.  This happened three times.  So, I contacted tech support.

 

Tech support told me that I should do a factory reset on my router.  To do this: Press and hold the RESET button (on back of router) for 15-20 seconds then release. The power light will start flashing green (if orange, power router off/on and try again). Once the Internet light is back to green, the connection will be restored.  I did not do this yet, since I wanted to backup my router configuration, but for me, this is the next step.  

 

I doubt that my problem is a configuration setting in my router.  So, a factory reset will probably not fix my problem.  I suspect a faulty wireless radio in the router.
