Re: How to Get the Fastest FiOS Speed

I agree that many customers do not understand the difference between wireless and and wired performance.

However - if all you do is swap an older model MI424WR router for a new MI4242WR GigE rev I router and you immediately see a 90% drop in speed due to a dramatic drop in signal signal strength (NOTHING else changed) - then I think Version or Actionec has some explaining to do and custom satisfaction issues.

This new 75/35 speed is advertised as an improvement - and my wired speeds are amazing.  The wireless speed right next to the router is great too  (50% of the top wired speed).  But the range drop is awful.  3/4 of my house that previously had 10 Mb speed - now has much less than 1 Mb.  I get 80/40 in my den - the rest of my familiy is effectively shut our from hi-speed FIOS.

I just need a detailed fix from Verizon or Actiontec - the cost is not as important as my time and frustration level.

If someone had told me this would happen - i would not have upgraded my service
