New Fios Gateway Router now available in most areas

SinCara

The new Fios Gateway Router is now available in most areas.

If you are wanting it and want to see if you can get it you can call and ask, but the easiest way it to login into your account online, go to add/change services then add/upgrade services then to Wireless Routers.

The Gateway will be listed there if it is available to you.

You can choose to buy it for $149.99 or rent it for $6.99 a month. A one time shipping fee will apply.

If needed you can view the manual and features here.

Gateway's page with information and order link: http://campaign.verizon.com/fiosquantumgateway/?CMP=DMC-CVZ_ZZ_ZZ_Z_ZZ_N_X00582

of course as said in my original post you can find it in your account in wireless routers.

It doesn;t have a power on/off switch.

Not a real big deal, but I've always thought an on/off switch was a nice feature to have.

I'll be looking forward to some more user feedback as to any advantages of the new Gateway router compared to the Rev I Actiontec.

I know about 802.11ac support, but I already have that with an added WAP. Thus I'm wondering what, if anything, might make it worth $150, plus the time and trouble it would take, to fix something that isn't broken. Smiley Wink

Good:

Dual Band

802.11ac

Not So Good:

No guest WiFi network

I doubt I'll bother with this device.

Is it possible to get it for free? Good thing I didn't order it. 😛 I almost did, but didn't.

My thinking also, at least at this point in time.

No, but you can rent it.

Would it be worth it to rent or I should just stick with the current Actiontech Gen 3 I have now?

Verizon can be strange. I checked the User Manual to see what USB is supported by the router. I could not find this information in the Manual. The two USB ports are enclosed in a blue square. Blue is the color used to denote SuperSpeed USB 3.0. But this could just be a thoughtless coincidence since the Manual seems to be mute.

The manual also states that USB storage may be supported by a firmware change sometime in the future. This is the same vague "promise" as in the manual for my MI424WR-GEN3I.

Since I have a linksys dual-band router that I use for Wi-Fi, I will not be upgrading to this new FIOS Gateway router. BTW, my several years old linksys router does support USB attached storage and includes a printer server. But it is only 11n dual band not the sexy 11ac. But none of my devices are 11ac. Given all of this I won't spend a nickel on buying or renting the new "high tech" router.

Any benefit if curently using an Apple Extreme with the older actiontec for increased wireless speeds. Besides consolidating intoone device, is the Apple Extreme going to give better wireless perffoamce than the new Gateway Router?
