![]() At this point, you will loose you connection to the Internet through the G1100. Select it, along with Settings, and uncheck Internet Connection Firewall.

This mode deactivates some cable television features, but it allows another router to obtain an IP address directly from Verizon. This document describes how to configure a Verizon FiOS G1100 to act in bridge mode. Moderator note: Deleted link because it listed personally identifiable information including email and physical address location. Since I can't run Ethernet to extend my network I starting using the extra G1100's as MoCa Bridges (I used the instructions from this link: But now you know, if you thinking the Motorola MM1000Been having some issues with WiFi at our 3 level townhouse and happened to have 2 extra G1100 laying around (So the main router in the Basement, 2nd router on the second floor and the 3rd router on the third floor). It's unlikely you'll need their support, as Fios is very reliable. Even if you've a problem with TV that doesn't appear to be related to internet, they won't work on it unless you've a Verizon router as primary. You probably already know that if you don't use a Verizon router, their support will stop at the ONT. Do some searching on this forum or pop over the the FAQ on DSLreports for ideas. I don't know the details, as I use a Verizon router with Verizon set-top boxes. You may be able to extract the settings from a Verizon router. Set-top-boxes are reported to need specific port forwards. If you've the "Fios ONE" boxes, they need a Verizon router as primary to activate. It's also used for video-on-demand, access controls, firmware updates, and general command & control. ![]() They use the MoCA connection for more than guide data. ![]() But this is a minor point.Ĭonnecting a MoCA adapter through a switch will work just as well as a direct connection to a router. Maybe you're showing two due to a limitation of your diagramming tool. If you have more questions, I am happy to help.įYI, fiber goes straight to the ONT. To configure this, you need some network knowledge. There is a way you can use your own router as the primary while putting Verizon router behind it, but you still need a Verizon router regardless. The bottom line is that you need a Verizon router (either being BHR 3, 4, or 5) because the STBs dynamically negotiate with the router to forward certain ports. still work without the Gateway router Fios provides? You are not using MoCA as your network backbone, so it will be fine to have lower anyone have any experience amending the settings (IP, etc.) to make the VOD, firmware updates, etc. It costs $20, but its MoCA speed caps at 175Mbps. If you are using the Ethernet-MoCA bridge solely for the purpose of giving network access to the STBs, just grab a used Actiontec/Verizon WCB3000N off the Ebay. It provides 3 more Ethernet ports than Motorola MM1000. It costs $55, comes with Verizon support, an Ethernet cable, a two-way coax splitter, and two short coax cables. I recommend Verizon/Actiontec ECB5240M as your Ethernet-MoCA birdge.
