CONNECTING a WI-FI DEVICE USING WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easier way for many devices to set up a secure Wi-Fi network connection. Instead of manually entering passwords or multiple keys on each Wi-Fi client, such as a laptop, printer, or external hard drive, your Fios Router creates a secure Wi-Fi network connection. In most cases, this only requires the pressing of two buttons – one on your Fios Router and one on the Wi-Fi client. This could be either a built-in button or one on a compatible Wi-Fi adapter/card, or a virtual button in software. Once completed, this allows Wi-Fi clients to join your Wi-Fi network. To initialize the WPS process, you can either press and hold the unified button located on the front of your Fios Router for more than two seconds or use the UI and press the on-screen button. You can easily add Wi-Fi devices to your Wi-Fi network using the WPS option if your Wi-Fi device supports the WPS feature. To access WPS using the user interface: From the Basic menu, select Wi-Fi settings, then click Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Enable the protected setup by moving the selector to on. Use one of the following methods: If your Wi-Fi client device has a WPS button, press the unified button on your Router for more than two seconds, then click the start WPS button in the Option 1 to start the WPS registration process. If your client device has a WPS PIN, locate the PIN printed on the client’s label or in the client documentation. Enter the PIN number in the Enter PIN field. The Client WPS PIN field is located in the Option 2 on the user interface. Click Register. Alternatively, you can enter the Router’s PIN shown on this screen into the WPS user interface of your device, if this PIN mode is supported by your Wi-Fi device. After pressing the unified button (WPS) on your Router, you have two minutes to press the WPS button on the client device before the WPS session times out. When the unified button (WPS) on your Router is pressed, the Router Status LED on the front of your Router begins flashing blue. The flashing continues until WPS pairing to the client device completes successfully. At this time, the Router Status LED turns solid blue. If WPS fails to establish a connection to a Wi-Fi client device within two minutes, the Router Status LED on your Router flashes red for two minutes to indicate the WPS pairing process was unsuccessful. After flashing red, the light returns to solid white to indicate that Wi-Fi is on. Note: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) cannot be used if WPA3 security is enabled or SSID broadcast is disabled or if MAC address authentication is enabled with an empty white list. CONNECTING a WI-FI DEVICE USING a PASSWORD Verify each device that you are connecting with Wi-Fi has built-in Wi-Fi or an external Wi-Fi adapter. Open the device’s Wi-Fi settings application. Select your Fios Router’s Wi-Fi network name (SSID) from the device’s list of discovered Wi-Fi networks.

FIREWALL The firewall is the cornerstone of the security suite for your Fios Router. It has been exclusively tailored to the needs of the residential or office user and is pre-configured to provide optimum security. The firewall provides both the security and flexibility that home and office users seek. It provides a managed, professional level of network security while enabling the safe use of interactive applications, such as internet gaming and video conferencing. Additional features, including surfing restrictions and access control, can also be configured locally through the user interface or remotely by a service provider. The firewall regulates the flow of data between the local network and the internet. Both incoming and outgoing data are inspected, then either accepted and allowed to pass through your Fios Router or rejected and barred from passing through your Fios Router, according to a flexible and configurable set of rules. These rules are designed to prevent unwanted intrusions from the outside, while allowing local network users access to internet services. The firewall rules specify the type of services on the internet that are accessible from the local network and types of services in the local network that are accessible from the internet. Each request for a service that the firewall receives is checked against the firewall rules to determine whether the request should be allowed to pass through the firewall. If the request is permitted to pass, all subsequent data associated with this request or session is also allowed to pass, regardless of its direction. For example, when accessing a website on the internet, a request is sent to the internet for this site. When the request reaches your Fios Router, the firewall identifies the request type and origin, such as HTTP and a specific computer in the local network. Unless your Fios Router is configured to block requests of this type from this computer, the firewall allows this type of request to pass to the internet. When the website is returned from the web server, the firewall associates the website with this session and allows it to pass; regardless HTTP access from the internet to the local network is blocked or permitted. It is the origin of the request, not subsequent responses to this request, which determines whether a session can be established. SETTING FIREWALL CONFIGURATION You can select a normal, high, or low security level to limit, block, or permit all traffic. The following table shows request access for each security level. Security Level Internet Requests Incoming Traffic Local Network Requests Outgoing Traffic High Blocked Limited Normal Blocked Unrestricted Low Unrestricted Unrestricted The request access is defined as: Blocked traffic – no access allowed, except as configured in Port Forwarding and Remote Access Limited – permits only commonly used services, such as email and web browsing Unrestricted – permits full access of incoming traffic from the internet and allows all outgoing traffic, except as configured in Access Control SPECIFYING GENERAL SETTINGS FOR IPV4 OR IPV6 To set your firewall configuration: From the Firewall General settings page, click on desired IPv4 settings/IPv6 settings option to configure IPv4/IPv6 security. Firewall: IPv4 & IPv6 Settings Select a security level by clicking one of the radio buttons. Using the Low Security setting may expose the local network to significant security risks, and should only be used for short periods of time to allow temporary network access. Click Apply Changes to save changes. Access Control You can block individual computers on your local network from accessing specific services on the internet. For example, you could block one computer from accessing the internet, then block a second computer from transferring files using FTP as well as prohibit the computer from receiving incoming email. Access control incorporates a list of preset services, such as applications and common port settings. ALLOW OR RESTRICT SERVICES To allow or restrict services: From the Advanced menu, select Firewall from the left pane and then click Access Control. The Access Control page opens with the Allows and Blocked sections displayed. The Allowed section only displays when the firewall is set to maximum security. Firewall: Access Controls To block a service, click Add. The Add Access Control page displays. Firewall: Add Access Control Rule To apply the rule to: Networked Computer/Device – select Any. Specific devices only – select User Defined. In the Protocol field, select the internet protocol to be allowed or blocked. If the service is not included in the list, select User Defined. The Edit Service page displays. Define the service, then click Apply. The service is automatically added to the Add Access Control section. Specify when the rule is active as Always or User Defined. Firewall: Set Rule Schedule Enter the rule name, specify days of the week, and set the start time and end time when the rule will be active or inactive. Click Apply to save changes. The Access Control page displays a summary of the new access control rule. DISABLE ACCESS CONTROL You can disable an access control and enable access to the service without removing the service from the Access Control table. This can make the service available temporarily and allow you to easily reinstate the restriction later. To disable an access control, clear the check box next to the service name. To reinstate the restriction, select the check box next to the service name. To remove an access restriction, select the service and click Remove. The service is removed from the Access Control table. Port Forwarding You can activate port forwarding to expose the network to the internet in a limited and controlled manner. For example, enabling applications, such as gaming and voice, to work from the local network as well as allowing internet access to servers within the local network. To create port forwarding rules: From the Advanced menu, select Firewall from the left pane and then click Port Forwarding. The Port Forwarding page opens with the current rules displayed. Firewall: Port Forwarding To create a new rule, enter the application name, configure its inbound and outbound port numbers, then select the protocol. To schedule the rule, select either Always or User Defined in the Schedule list box. Click Add to list. The rule displays in the Rules List section. Click Apply Changes to save changes. Port Triggering Port triggering can be described as dynamic port forwarding. By setting port triggering rules, inbound traffic arrives at a specific network host using ports that are different than those used for outbound traffic. The outbound traffic triggers the ports where the inbound traffic is directed. For example, a gaming server is accessed using UDP protocol on port 2222. The gaming server then responds by connecting the user using UDP on port 3333, when a gaming session is initiated. In this case, port triggering must be used since it conflicts with the following default firewall settings: The firewall blocks inbound traffic by default. The server replies to your Fios Router IP, and the connection is not sent back to the host since it is not part of a session. To resolve the conflict, a port triggering entry must be defined, which allows inbound traffic on UDP port 3333 only after a network host generated traffic to UDP port 2222. This results in your Fios Router accepting the inbound traffic from the gaming server and sending it back to the network host which originated the outgoing traffic to UDP port 2222. To configure port triggering: From the Advanced menu, select Firewall and then click Port Triggering. Firewall: Port Triggering To add a service as an active protocol, enter the application name, configure its inbound and outbound (triggered/ forwarded) port range, then select the protocol. To schedule the rule, select either Always or User Defined in the Schedule list box. Click Add to list. The rule displays in the Rules List section. Click Apply Changes to save changes. DMZ Host DMZ Host allows a single device on your primary network to be fully exposed to the internet for special purposes like internet gaming. Warning: Enabling DMZ Host is a security risk. When a device on your network is a DMZ Host, it is directly exposed to the internet and loses much of the protection of the firewall. If it is compromised, it can also be used to attack other devices on your primary network. Follow these steps to designate a device on your primary network as a DMZ Host: From the Advanced menu, select Firewall and then click DMZ Host. Select Enable for the DMZ Host. Enter the IP address or select the MAC address of the device you want to designate as the DMZ Host. Click Apply Changes to save changes. Firewall: DMZ Host Static NAT Static NAT allows devices located behind a firewall that is configured with private IP addresses to appear to have public IP addresses to the internet. This allows an internal host, such as a web server, to have an unregistered (private) IP address and still be accessible over the internet. To configure static NAT: From the Advanced menu, select Firewall and then click Static NAT. Firewall: Static NAT To create a static NAT, select a source address in the Local Host field. Enter the Public IP Address. If using port forwarding, select the Port Fwd check box. Click Add to list. The rule displays in the Rules List section. Click Apply Changes to save changes. Repeat these steps to add additional static IP addresses. IPv6 Pinholes The IPv6 Pinhole feature of the Fios Router allows an application to send incoming packets for a certain port number to the destination computer by setting up the rule of authorization. To configure the rules: From the Advanced menu, select Firewall and then click IPv6 Pinhole. Firewall: IPv6 Pinholes Select external and internal host, protocol and the application port type. To schedule the rule, select either Always or User Defined in the Schedule list box. Click Add to list. The screen displays opened pinhole port and its status.

Port Forwarding Rules – displays port forwarding rules. IPv6 – enables IPv6 support. Routing – manages the routing and IP address distribution rules. IPv4/IPv6 Address Distribution – adds computers configured as DHCP clients to the network. Port Configuration – sets up the Ethernet ports as either full- or half-duplex ports, at either 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. NETWORK OBJECTS Network objects define a group, such as a group of computers, on your Fios Router network by MAC address, IP address, and/or host name. The defined group becomes a network object. You can apply settings, such as configuring system rules, to all devices defined in the network object. For example, instead of setting the same website filtering configuration individually to five computers one at a time, you can define the computers as a network object. Website filtering can then be simultaneously applied to all the computers. You can use network objects to apply security rules based on host names, instead of IP addresses. This is useful since IP addresses change from time to time. In addition, you can define network objects according to MAC address to make the rule application more persistent against network configuration settings. To define a network object: From the Advanced menu, select Network Settings. Select Network Objects in the Network Settings section. Network Objects To define a network object, click Add new.

IPv4 ADDRESS DISTRIBUTION You can easily add computers configured as DHCP clients to the network. The DHCP server provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses to these hosts and for delivering network configuration parameters to the hosts. For example, a client (host) sends a broadcast message on the network requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then checks its list of available addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific period of time and simultaneously designates this IP address as taken. At this point, the host is configured with an IP address for the duration of the lease. The host can renew an expiring lease or let it expire. If it renews a lease, the host receives current information about network services, as it did during the original lease, allowing it to update its network configurations to reflect any changes that occurred since the first connection to the network. If the host wishes to terminate a lease before its expiration, it sends a release message to the DHCP server. This makes the IP address available for use by other hosts. The DHCP server performs the following functions: Displays a list of all DHCP host devices connected to your Fios Router Defines the range of IP addresses that can be allocated in the network Defines the length of time the dynamic IP addresses are allocated Provides the above configurations for each network device and can be configured and enabled or disabled separately for each network device Assigns a static lease to a network computer to receive the same IP address each time it connects to the network, even if this IP address is within the range of addresses that the DHCP server may assign to other computer Provides the DNS server with the host name and IP address of each computer connected to the network To view a summary of the services provided by the DHCP server: Select IPv4 Address Distribution in the Network Settings section. IPv4 Address Distribution You can edit the DHCP server settings for a device. On the IPv4 Address Distribution page, click the Edit icon in the Action column. The DHCP Settings page opens with the device information displayed. To enable the DHCP server, select DHCP Server in the IPv4 Address Distribution field. Once enabled, the DHCP server provides automatic IP assignments (IP leases) based on the preset IP range defined below. DHCP Settings for Network (Home/Office) To configure the DHCP server, complete the following fields: Start IP Address – enter the first IP address that your Fios Router will automatically begin assigning IP addresses from. Since your Fios Router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the default start IP address should be 192.162.1.2. End IP Address – enter the last IP address that your Fios Router will stop at for the IP address allocation. The maximum end IP address range that can be entered is 192.168.1.254. WINS Server – determines the IP address associated with a network device. Lease Time in Minutes – assigns the amount of time in minutes that each device is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server when it connects to the network. When the lease expires, the server determines if the computer has disconnected from the network. If it has, the server may reassign this IP address to a newly connected computer. Click Apply to save changes. IPv4 address Distribution according to DHCP option 60 (Vendor Class Indentifier) DHCP vendor class is related to DHCP option 60 configuration within the router.

TROUBLE SHOOTING This chapter lists solutions for issues that may be encountered while using your Fios Router as well as frequently asked questions. Although the majority of the Fios Router’s internet connectivity is automatic and transparent, if an issue does occur accessing the internet (e.g. complete loss of connectivity, inability to access services, etc.), you may need to take additional steps to resolve the problem. Note: The advanced settings should only be configured by experienced network technicians to avoid adversely affecting the operation of your Fios Router and your local network. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS IF YOU ARE UNaBLE TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET: The first thing to check is whether your Fios Router is powered on and is connected to the internet. Check the Router Status LED on the front of the Fios Router. Be sure to refer to the “1.3a/ FRONT PANEL” on page 9 to determine status of the Fios Router. Check the WAN cable (Ethernet or coaxial) connecting your Fios Router to the internet to make sure it is properly connected on both ends. If the prior tips do not resolve your connection issue, try restarting (rebooting) the router portion of the Fios Router by manually pressing the ‘red’ reset power button on the rear panel of the Fios Router for 2-4 seconds (the Router Status LED should go off) to begin rebooting your Fios Router. Your Fios Router will begin rebooting and will return to service in 3 – 5 minutes depending on your network connection. Check Router Status LED and if it is solid white, try again to access the internet. If rebooting your router does not resolve your connection issue, try power cycling the Fios Router by unplugging the power cable from the adapter or the wall and wait 2 minutes. During the 2 min. wait period, also power cycle the network device (e.g. the computer, tablet, etc.) and then plug the power cable back into the Fios Router. After 3-5 minutes, recheck the Router Status LED and try again to access the internet. IF YOU ARE UNaBLE TO CONNECT TO YOUR FIOS ROUTER USING WI-FI: Be sure your Wi-Fi device is within range of your Fios Router; move it closer to see if your connection improves. Check your network device’s Wi-Fi settings to be sure your device’s Wi-Fi is on (enabled) and that you have the correct Wi-Fi network and password (if using a Wi-Fi password) as configured on your Fios Router. Be sure you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network; check to be sure you are using your Fios Router’s SSID. In some cases, if using a Wi-Fi password, you may need to enter the Wi-Fi password into your network device again to be sure your device accepts the password. Check to be sure you are running the latest software for your network device. Try turning your network device’s Wi-Fi off and on, and try to connect. If you have made any changes in your network settings and turning your network device’s Wi-Fi off and on does not help, try to restart your network device. You may need to turn the Wi-Fi settings from on to off, and back to on again and apply the changes. If you are still unable to access your Fios Router, you may need to try connecting to the Fios Router using another network device. If the issue goes away with another network device, the issue is likely with that individual network device’s configuration. ACCESSING YOUR FIOS ROUTER IF YOU ARE LOCKED OUT If your Fios Router connection is lost while making configuration changes, a setting that locks access to your Fios Router’s UI may have inadvertently been activated. The common ways to lock access to your Fios Router are: Scheduler – If a schedule has been created that applies to the computer over the connection being used, your Fios Router will not be accessible during the times set in the schedule. Access Control – If the access control setting for the computer is set to block the computer, access to your Fios Router is denied. To gain access, restore the default settings to your Fios Router. RESTORING YOUR FIOS ROUTER’S DEFAULT SETTINGS There are two ways to restore your Fios Router’s default settings. It is important to note that after performing either procedure, all previously save settings on your Fios Router will be lost. For additional information regarding the Restore Defaults feature, refer to section 6.1/ Utilities/Save And Restore. Using the tip of a ballpoint pen or pencil, press and hold the Reset button on the back of your Fios Router for three seconds. Access the UI and navigate to the Advanced Settings page. Select the 6.1j Save and Restore option. After saving your configuration, if desired, click the Restore Factory Defaults radio button. For additional details, refer to the 6.1/ Utilities/Save And Restore section of this guide. Note: If you reset or reboot your Fios Router, you may also need to disconnect your Fios Router’s power supply for a few minutes (3 or more) and then reconnect the power cable. However, in order to provide full synchronization to the coaxial network, disconnecting and reconnecting the power may be required. LAN CONNECTION FaILURE To troubleshoot a LAN connection failure: Verify your Fios Router is properly installed, LAN connections are correct, and that the Fios Router and communicating network devices are all powered on. Confirm that the computer and Fios Router are both on the same network segment. If unsure, let the computer get the IP address automatically by initiating the DHCP function, then verify the computer is using an IP address within the default range of 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254. If the computer is not using an IP address within the correct IP range, it will not connect to your Fios Router. Verify the subnet mask address is set to 255.255.255.0. TIMEOUT ERROR OCCURS WHEN ENTERING THE URL OR IP ADDRESS Verify the following: All computers are working properly. IP settings are correct. Fios Router is on and connected properly. Fios Router settings are the same as the computer. For connections experiencing lag or a slow response: Check for other devices on the network utilizing large portions of the bandwidth and if possible temporarily stop their current utilization and recheck the connection. If lag still exists, clear the cache on the computer and if still needed, unplug the Ethernet cable or disable the Wi-Fi connection to the computer experiencing the slow connection and then reconnect or enable the Wi-Fi connection and try the connection again. In rare cases you may also need to: Unplug the Ethernet cable to Fios Router and restart the Fios Router, wait 1-2 mins. and insert the Ethernet cable again. Under limited circumstances you may use a port forwarding configuration on the router, based on the application you are using (refer to the 6.0d/ Port Forwarding section or Verizon’s support online help for more details). FRONT UNIFIED BUTTON The front panel’s Unified Button allows quick access to the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature and handset paging/paring mode.
