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.

 / CONNECTING YOUR

FIOS ROUTER

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:

documentation. Enter the PIN number in the Enter PINEnter PIN

ﬁeld. The Client WPS PINClient WPS PIN ﬁeld is located in the Option 2Option 2

on the user interface.

• Click RegisterRegister.

• 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.

4. 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.

3.1b/ GUEST NETWORK

The Guest NetworkGuest Network is designed to provide internet connectivity

to your guests but restricts access to your primary network and

shared ﬁles. The primary network and the guest network are

separated from each other through ﬁrewalls. You create one Guest

Wi-Fi SSID and one password, and use it for all guests. The guest

network SSID does not change when you make a change to your

primary network SSID.

The Fios Router is shipped from the factory with Guest Wi-Fi

turned o. The default SSID for Guest Wi-Fi is preconﬁgured at

the factory to the default Wi-Fi network name (SSID) which is

displayed on a sticker located at the rear of the router followed by

hyphen guest (-Guest). For example – if the router is shipped with a

default SSID of “Fios-ABCDE” then the default SSID for Guest Wi-

Fi is “Fios-ABCDE-Guest”.

separate WiFi SSID. The IoT Network is designed to provide an

easier setup experience for your Internet of Things (IoT) devices

which beneﬁt from connecting to the 2.4 GHz band while keeping

your Primary Network settings unchanged. IoT devices and Primary

devices can communicate with no ﬁrewall restrictions separating

them.

The Fios Router is shipped from the factory with IoT Wi-Fi turned

3.1d/ WIFI PROTECTED SETUP 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.

 / WIFI SETTINGS

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:

1. From the Basic Basic menu, select Wi-Fi Wi-Fi and then click Wi-Fi Wi-Fi

Protected Setup (WPS)Protected Setup (WPS).

2. Enable the protected setup by moving the selector to onon.

3. 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 WPSstart WPS button in the Option 1Option 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 PINEnter PIN

ﬁeld. The Client WPS PINClient WPS PIN ﬁeld is located within Option 2Option 2

on the user interface.

• Click RegisterRegister.

• 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.

4. 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.

./ 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 oce user and is pre-conﬁgured to provide optimum

security.

The ﬁrewall provides both the security and ﬂexibility that home

and oce users seek. It provides a managed, professional level

 / CONFIGURING

ADVANCED SETTINGS

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.

FIREWALL

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.

6.0e/ Port Triggering

Port triggering can be described as dynamic port forwarding. By

setting port triggering rules, inbound trac arrives at a speciﬁc

network host using ports that are dierent than those used for

outbound trac. The outbound trac triggers the ports where the

inbound trac 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:

• Firewall blocks inbound trac by default.

• 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 trac on UDP port 3333 only after a

network host generated trac to UDP port 2222. This results in

 / CONFIGURING

ADVANCED SETTINGS

your Fios Router accepting the inbound trac from the gaming

server and sending it back to the network host which originated the

outgoing trac to UDP port 2222.

6.0f/ 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:

1. From the Advanced Advanced menu, select Firewall Firewall and then click

6.2g/ 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

NETWORK SETTINGS

• 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

SHOOTING

7.0 Troubleshooting Tips

7.1 Frequently Asked Questions

167

 / TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Note: The advanced settings should only be conﬁgured by

experienced network technicians to avoid adversely aecting the

operation of your Fios Router and your local network.

./ TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

7.0a/ 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 o) 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.

169

 / TROUBLESHOOTING

• 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.

7.0b/ 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

• Try turning your network device’s Wi-Fi o and on, and try to

connect.

• If you have made any changes in your network settings and

turning your network device’s Wi-Fi o and on does not help, try

to restart your network device.

• You may need to turn the Wi-Fi settings from on to o, 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.

7.0c/ 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.

7.0d/ 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.

7.0e/ 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

• 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.

7.0f/ 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.

 / TROUBLESHOOTING

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).
