Is the wireless option on by default on the FiOS Router?

Yes. The FiOS Router’s wireless option is activated out of the box.

Is the wireless security on by default when the wireless option is activated?

Yes, with a unique WPA (Wi–Fi Protected Access) key that is printed on the

sticker on the back of the FiOS Router.

Which connection speeds does the FiOS Router support?

The Ethernet Internet connection supports 100 Mbps. The LAN Ethernet

connections support 10/100/1000 Mbps. The 802.11n wireless connection

supports up to 160 Mbps (depending on signal quality, etc.). The MoCA

connection supports 270 Mbps.

Are the FiOS Router’s Ethernet ports auto-sensing?

Yes. Either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used.

Can I use an 802.11b wireless card to connect to the FiOS Router?

Yes, the FiOS Router can interface with 802.11b, g, or n cards. The FiOS Router

can be setup to handle only n wireless cards, g wireless cards, b wireless cards,

or any combination of the three.

Can my wireless signal pass through floors, walls, and glass?

The physical environment surrounding the FiOS Router can have a varying

effect on signal strength and quality. The more dense the object (a concrete wall

compared to a plaster wall, for example), the greater the interference. Concrete

or metal-reinforced structures will experience a higher degree of signal loss than

those made of wood, plaster, or glass.
