			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=FiOS_Internet&#038;message.id=4942">Talking about Re: Netgear MCA1001 Connection problems &#8211; FiOS Internet &#8211; Verizon Community Forums</a></strong></p>
<p>The reason for the connection problem is probably because the Netgear MoCA network is interfering with the FIOS MoCA network.  You need to make sure that both the Netgear MoCA MCA1001 and your MI424-WR are on the same MoCA network channel (or the same frequency). </p>
<p>I would suggest you to check and make sure that the Netgear devices are in “channel frequency scan mode” so that they can lock onto the MI424-WR frequency.  If this does not resolve the problem, then most likely the MoCA encryption is enabled on your MI424-WR.  I would then try enabling the encryption feature on the Netgear devices with the default password.</p>
<p>If you’re still having problem, check with FIOS tech support.</p>

<p>Tinker at your own risk. It worked for me, but I make no guarantees.<br />Qwest supplies an ActionTec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway modem (model #<br />R1520SU) with their DSL service. I received one from them while<br />living in Arizona. Now that I live in North Carolina I have Verizon<br />DSL.<br />According to Verizon the ActionTec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway modem<br />will not work with their service, but the fact that I am able to post<br />this message right now is proof that it will. You just have to make a<br />few changes.<br />
<span id="more-1212"></span><br />
The Verizon supplied Westell DSL modem (model # B90-210015-04) does<br />not do NAT, and there was no way I was going to put a Windoze (Hack me<br />please) box directly connected to the Internet. Yes I admit I use<br />Windows for WinMX, but the rest of the time I&#8217;m a Linux guy. I<br />Promise!<br />Ok&#8230;Here is what you need to do.<br />1) Set your computer&#8217;s ethernet card to &#8220;dynamically assigned IP<br />address&#8221;. Hook the ActionTec DSL Gateway modem to your computer&#8217;s<br />ethernet card, hook-up the Verizon DSL line, and then boot the modem<br />up.<br />2) Pull up your web browser (java script must be enabled) and aim it<br />at;<br /><a href="http://192.168.0.1">http://192.168.0.1</a><br />3) Click on &#8220;Setup / Configuration&#8221;<br />4) Click on &#8220;Non-Windows Setup&#8221;<br />5) Select RFC1483 Bridged<br />6) Now at the bottom of the webpage select &#8220;Save and Restart&#8221;<br />If you get another page with another &#8220;Save and Restart&#8221; button click<br />that button as well.<br />Wait for your modem to reboot. You&#8217;re not done yet.<br />Once your DSL modem comes back up, point your web browser back at<br /><a href="http://192.168.0.1">http://192.168.0.1</a><br />7) Click on &#8220;Utilities&#8221;<br /> <img src='http://lb.viks.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Now click on &#8220;DSL Settings&#8221;.<br />9) Leave the VPI setting at &#8220;0&#8243;, but change the VCI to 35. The default<br />Qwest value is 32.<br />10 Change the &#8220;Mode&#8221; from &#8220;MULTIMODE&#8221; to &#8220;T1.413&#8243;<br />(Note is possible to bring the modem up in MULTIMODE, but the boot up<br />handshake takes much longer, and it does not always come up.)<br />11) Click &#8220;Save and Restart&#8221;<br />If you get another page with another &#8220;Save and Restart&#8221; button click<br />that button as well.<br />The modem should reboot. Once it comes back up point your web browser<br />back to <a href="http://192.168.0.1">http://192.168.0.1</a><br />12) Click on &#8220;Status&#8221;<br />13) The unit should say &#8220;Connected&#8221; with DHCP listed in the Mode: box.<br />If it says &#8220;Disconnected&#8221; in the &#8220;Connection:&#8221; box click &#8220;Connect.&#8221;<br />It should be up now. Mine came up, and I am using it right now.<br />One one occasion I had to send a few ping packets out to the net<br />before Verizon would route my traffic. Oddly enough I could ping<br />their routers gateway IP address (Not the DSL modem&#8217;s IP addess) from<br />inside the Intenal 192.168.0.0/24 network, but the traffic would not<br />route past their gateay IP address. A few minutes later it started<br />working. Go figure.<br />Hope this helps.<br />-Night Ranger<br />P.S. Interesting tidbit for Westell DSL modem users<br />On the Westell modem CD look in the;<br />/cdrom/bin/utils/Westell/Diagnostic Icon<br />folder.<br />Install the Setup.exe program. It creates a pretty useless &#8220;Yep<br />you&#8217;re on the Intenet&#8221; utility. Run the utility. Now press<br />CTRL/ALT/F7. The utility just got alot more useful. You should have<br />several new TABS to chose from at the top. Tinker at your own risk. </p>
