ust to let you know I have Verizon FIOS 15 mps and am using that same ActionTec Router and all is good. My config is Internet->ActionTec->Vonage Motorola Device->PC.
I also have a notebook I use for wireless and the ActionTec is a good router to use for that purpose.

Excellent. Thanks!

The actiontec router is good in all respects except for if you use any kind of online game that sends a large refresh request or use any type of file sharing...BEWARE you will lose internet intermittently if you try to use any type of software that sends a large sumber of connections out in a short period of time. I'm not complaining about verizons service with Vonage, it's great but I did have to change the router they gave me with a netgear in order to get the functionality that I was looking for. The case may be different for you, Just giving a headsup that currently its a problem that actiontec has not been able to fix.

Just curious if you had updated your firmware to .120? Others on the FIOS forum had issues, but the update seemed to fix it.

I did update the firmware, twice actually. The first time i got it from the actiontec site and the second time I got the update from a 3rd-party site that had a version that was previously released and then pulled. Each time the problem seemed to be resolved but started right back up again within an hour or so.

My understanding is that Verizon has it's specific firmware for the router. Here is a link for Verizon's version:

My understanding after going through the forums for this router was that the issue is still unresolved, however I no longer have the router and cannot test the firmware from verizon.
