Wireless Broadband Router
ctiontec continues its string of impressive technological advances with the introduction of its next generation Wireless Broadband Router. The First Smart Home Gateway, the Wireless Broadband Router, packs in more features and performance capabilities that any other home router on the market. It is the first device to feature a dual-core, 64-bit processor that allows it to support home networking speeds up to 1 Gbps and permits digital entertainment and information content to be transmitted and distributed to multiple devices in the home over coaxial cable.

Next Generation

Model # MI424WR Rev. E
The First Smart Home Gateway
Actiontecs next generation Wireless Broadband Router sets a new industry benchmark for performance. As a result, service providers can increase service speeds up to 1 Gbps to meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated consumer market. Able to support multiple value-added, bandwidth-intensive applications, this router has become more than just a simple router. It can handle multiple high-throughput media streams simultaneously, including standard and HDTV-based video programming and feed personal video recording functionality from multiple HD set top boxes or other digital storage devices to multiple TVs in the house. It can also administrate most Internet activities including parental controls, online gaming, music, live sports, childrens entertainments and on demand movies. The Wireless Broadband router also supports Ethernet and Wi-Fi as well as coax networking, and it allows telcos to assign bandwidth priorities for data, video on demand and voice over IP traffic to ensure quality of service in triple and quad play environments.
routers 64-bit architecture provides a substantial performance improvement over the 32-bit devices sold today. The routers latest MIPS core offers further performance improvement and additional instructions for networking applications reducing the number of cycles needed for even greater CPU efficiency. Additionally, the router features hardware-level Quality of Service (QoS) with eight input channels and eight output channels. This innovative design frees the CPU for other bandwidth needs, and ensures that providers can deliver multiple high quality video streams without any dropped frames, frozen frames, or other performance issues that can degrade IP video services.

Protection and Security

With all that data coming in, the security features had better be first rate, and the Wireless Broadband Router doesnt disappoint. The router ships with wireless encryption using WEP turned on by default and supports WPA and WPA2 encryptions. The router offers enterprise-level security, including a fully customizable firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, denial of service protection, content filtering, and intrusion detection to keep unwanted visitors from accessing the users network. The Wireless Broadband Router also offers Parental control capabilities, including user-defined site blocking by URL and keyword, the ability to customize filtering policies for each computer, and user notification of attempted access to restricted sites.

Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR FiOS Router?
The MI424WR does not support Transparent-Bridging, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
Requests to bridge the MI424WR are often based on a misunderstanding that it is both a router and a modem, it is not. (Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that support Transparent-Bridging. When Transparent-Bridging is enabled, it bypasses or disables the gateways router function and allows the Gateway to function simply as a DSL modem.) Many customers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that most closely resembles a modems function. That it handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it were bridged or bypassed, it would be a device that no longer had a purpose. Most Verizon FiOS customers would lose their VoD service, if the MI424WR was successfully bridged in this fashion, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on the router to work.
Coax connection to the ONT:
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax (Nothing will be connected to the routers white WAN Ethernet port), the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. You may wish to contact Verizon and request that your ONT connection be changed from Coax to Ethernet. If this is done, the following procedure can be used.
Ethernet connection to the ONT:
However, if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet (An Ethernet cable will be connected to the routers white WAN Ethernet port), then in most cases even though the MI424WR can not be bridged, it can be removed and another router substituted for it.
