MI424WR Router

I was told by the installer that this unit was a gigabyte router with 802.11n capability. Can someone confirm this for me. I built my infrastructure at home with all gigabit devices and now find out that the router may not be. If it is not gigbit/802.11n capable can I get a gigabit router so I can put my own AP and switch in place? Thanks. Steve

Their are lots of versions of the MI424WR. The latest version is "I" . It and the "G" version before it are Wireless N with Gigabit wired ports.

The Version "F" was draft N and lacked Gigabit ports.

Earlier version were all Wireless G support .

If you have FIOS TV you must have a verizon router in your mix. You can add you own wireless N router off the Verizon router but their are some configurations that work better than others. Normally I would point you to some info on DSLREPORTS about such configuration, but that site is currently only partially working due to a equipment problems after a power outage.

the sticker has your revision number. it's on the router itself.

If your router is not one of the mentioned revisions above, you can order it online.

At this time, this is the only guaranteed way to obtain a Wireless N router from Verizon.

The technical support agents have no control over what router they send you as a replacement. The warehouse automatically chooses a "like for like" model.

Also, FT (field technicians) have the same inventory as the warehouse.
