My only concern would be: Would i still have issues relying on verizon's equipment? or will it just work as a pass through and just disable routing on verizon's equipment?Ĭan i just plug in a ethernet cable into the white box and leave verizon's router alone and just run two off it? or will it only assign one ip address? I have read the guide mentioned in that thread, and that looks like something I may be interested in doing. I was also unaware of this, do i need to remove the security screws on the box? Also, using the Ethernet port instead of the Coax port on the ONT. This may however depend on how easy it is to run a cat5 Ethernet cable between the ONT and your router. This way you don't need to deal with coax cables. Connect any home router directly to the ONT (big white Verizon box in your basement) So all in all, when the internet stops working I try to ping the router from a desktop on a wired connection, and it takes anywhere from 5 seconds to 3 mintues for the router to show wrote:ġ. When I 'disconnect' or the router is unresponsive, it is every computer not just a singular one.

I currently have every pc on my network set up with a static internal ip so everyone can connect to a print server. I feel that my internet service is serverly impacted due to this. What I ment was, when i disconnect from games or from the internet on a lan connection ( games stop responding, i cant ping any website, i cant ping the routers 192.168.1.1 ip ) the router takes anywhere from 5 seconds to 3 minutes to come back on or to start functioning again. Sorry I wrote this late night and I see how some of it could be misscommunicated. A wireless connection can take longer depend on the number of wireless devices on the same channel. If you disconnect a wired device, it normally takes several seconds to negotiate a new DHCP lease required to reconnect. I don't understand what you're trying to say. The router keeps 'constant' uptime but I can ping it when I disconnect ( Lan ) and it takes anywhere from 5 seconds to 1 minute to finally respond. Is this wired or wireless? A ping from a wired LAN device to the router should be 1ms or wrote: You should not be getting poor response time from the router. Reason I want to bypass their router is because of the horrible response time, What are the tradeoffs between the various router wrote: Since the only thing wired are the 3 desktops on the upper level, maybe putting the router up there rather than in the basement would help but I'm building a gaming PC for the basement.Īlthough the router is in the basement, I have a cat5/6 going from that to the upper level to a hub which supports the 3 desktops and 2 IoT hubs.There are many options for using your own router. If the issue is placement, it would probably mean we need another extender located at the back of the house. I'm not sure if it's the placement of the devices or the bandwidth isn't good enough.

Streaming tv gets pixelated a lot and the camera feeds outside are hit or miss. There are 6 smart tvs and at least 2 of them are on most of the day and sometimes 3.

There's 2 ppl working from home on teams and another 'taking classes' but really streaming movies, YouTube and gaming all day. The cameras in the back yard are in the yard from 20-40ft away from the home. There are cameras inside and outside the home. I have a router in the basement and a an extender on the main level in the den next to the garage.
