I am thinking about replacing my Quantum Gateway router with this new route. any issues with this subject router?
Solved! Go to Correct Answer
It just came out so not many have it right now. It has wireless AX, supposed to have better range than it's predecessors, SON is also supposed to work better. The MoCA is 2.5 so if you use an extended you will get full speed over the coax. MoCA 2.5 can get a little over 2 gbps.
I have the same issue. Everything’s working fine, but the lights went off shortly after connecting the cables. Same thing after a reboot.
Yes, I'm having the same issue. Verizon is telling me that the lights should remain on. I have a network hub connected to the port. I was told that the router and hub maybe fighting for IP address. Everything seems to be working fine when plug in.
That Verizon tech needs to go back to tech school. A hub does not require an IP address, it simply repeats (broadcasts) the input on any one port to its other ports. A simple switch like a 4-port Netgear will not require an IP address either, but will route inbound traffic on a port to only one output (port).
Yes, I just got one of these G3100's and I'm having the same issue! Most of my network is connected to these ports so this is way bad.
Had my G3100 for 2 weeks, it's a great improvement in speed and range. Is it worth $309 is debatable. I have gigabyte internet and feel the G1100 is good up to 500/500 service. It's installed in basement at ceiling. G1100 I had to install WEB6000q for coverage. G3100 goes all the way without extender, 1300sq home. 5G has great coverage I can get in some locations on second floor. G1100 was like line of sight. First floor I get 500/500 min speed and second floor I get 40/40 min speed. Most are N or AC devices and don't get full speed support. So it's like buy a antique G1100 or G3100 is little ahead of its time.
Had mine about 2 weeks. Speed is good. Mine has had the problem of cutting out wifi for no reason. And the worst thing is I cant sign into the router web page for some reason. It wont do anything when I enter the first admin password. Trying for two weeks to get through to Verizon tech on the phone. Forget it unless you have unlimited battery power. Tried Verizon tech on Twitter and it was a total waste. Each new person had me doing the same things over and over and nothing worked. I just gave up on them.
WiFi cutout or is it still connected but no internet? First try disabling IPv6 as it helped to stable my speed. FiOS still don’t support IPv6. Other is my previous post with AX and SON with older devices.
I have had the same problem regarding signing into the admin page. I have tried on both myfiosgateway.com and 192.168.1.1. Have you received any support on this or had any success since?
For login. Are you getting the “this site is not secure”?Noticed the g3100 and E3200 both give this message trying to login to them. If so just click Details and then click Go on to the webpage (not recommended). After that you should be able to enter password. Does this because of a Certificate Error.
I just got Fios today and a G3100 router. It doesn't have the same flexibility that my old router an ASUS RT-AC3200 had which I had hooked up to a modem to get DSL. In addition I now frequently get messages that a secure connection can not be made with various web sites, including Verizon's and need to resetablish the connection to the web site.
I have tried to connect my old router to the G3100 so I could maintain my internal home network structure. So far no success.
One issue that I reported to Verizon is problem with dual bad devices up to N. My TV and IPad Mini 2 are up to N and don't support AC or AX. For some reason it will connect and look fine but no internet. Left default 2G in legacy and 5G on compatibility. I have to run both modes on Legacy to get all devices to connect correctly. Did turn SON off and separated 2G and 5G to troubleshoot. Newer devices that support AC don't seem to have the problem. So on 2G mode WiFi 4(n) and Legacy (b,g,n) work, compatibility (b,g,n,ax) DONT. 5G Legacy(b,g,n,ac) works,,,compatibility( a,n,ac,ax) and WiFi 5(ac) DONT.
I too just recieved my G3100 yesterday. How does it compare to the Orbi router FIOS also offers? I thought they were sending me the Orbi, so before I call them I wanted to know if anyone has any comments about the difference between those two routers. Thanks..
Verizon sells the Orbi as an add-on, not a replacement for their routers. Verizon only supports their routers as primary. You can use a non-Verizon router as your only router, but you will get zero support from Verizon.
If you have Verizon TV with Verizon set-top-boxes, you pretty much must have a Verizon router as primary.
The older Verizon G1100 router is a dual-band router. The Orbi was a way to add tri-band capability and mesh networking before the G3200 came out. It will be interesting to see if Verizon continues selling the Orbi now that the G3200 is out.
Enjoy.
Has anyone tried using the 6200 extender with the G3100 router? I would hate to replace my 1100 router and 2 extenders with the G3100 and 2 new extednders.
The G3100 has better range than G1100. When I had G1100 I needed the FiOS Extender for service on the second floor. This G3100 I get my 500/500 on first floor, and farthest away from router on the second I'm still connected and can stream video. Lost I have tested it on second floor would be 20/20, but most of the time 100/100. The 5G range is double or triple, I have couple devices that connect to 5G on the second floor. Was thinking on renting G3200 to see if it really makes any difference. Connect iPhones, iPad, amazon devices, PC , laptop, PlayStation, and Smart TV. I do have the gigabyte internet, but for once my router supports more speed then my devices do.
The most I can get wireless is 300/300 and that is full strength right beside the router.I have an S10 connecting at AX and that is the top speed for any of my devices. Wired I get 950/950 no problem. When connected to wireless on laptop it connects at 1Gbps and phone connects at 1.2 Gbps which okay I would expect 1/2 at least 500/500 absolutely no way I can get near that 300 is pushing it.
If you're chasing bandwidth or your wireless signal is overrun by too many devices, consider attaching a Ubiquiti Unifi access point to your existing router. It's just a simple dome, but it's commercial grade equipment and even the lowest AP AC Lite model at $80 will handle many more connections and bandwidth than any consumer grade router or mesh wifi system. Fantastic range from just one dome that's better than a home router that looks like a spider with dozens of legs sticking out of it.
Secondly, even the old MI424WR router could handle 75/75Mbits throughput up/down and the G1100 Quantum router can handle 800/800Mbits. If your internet is slow, it's probably something else. Have you reset your router with a paper clip in the pinhole? You should do that once a year anyway. Just how much bandwidth do you need? 25Mbits for a 4K streaming broadcast and 4-7Mbits for 720p/1080i.
Is anyone here really watching 32 4K TV programs simultaneously? There's probably some other reason you are perceiving a slow internet connection and a new $300 router probably won't help.
which Ubiquiti Unifi access point model do you recommend and how does it work with Fios?

The G3100 is not compatible with the FNE 6200s.
Regarding using older extenders with a new 3100 router. I mainly use the extender as a wired access port. Since older extender is connected via house coax, would the hardwire LAN ports still work (but not wireless function)?
The ethernet ports on my older extender do not work with my new G3100 router.
