I have an FTP or Web server on my network. How can I make it available

to users on the Internet?

For a Web server, enable port forwarding for port 80 to the IP address of the

server. Also, set up the Web server to receive on that port. (Configuring the

server to use a static IP address is recommended.)

For an FTP server, enable port forwarding for port 21 to the IP address of the

server. (Configuring the server to use a static IP address is recommended.)

How many computers can be connected through the FiOS Router?

The FiOS Router is capable of 254 connections, but we recommend having no

more than 45 connections. As the number of connections increase, the available

speed for each computer decreases.

What is the default user name for the FiOS Router?

The default user name for the FiOS Router is “admin” (all lower case, no

quotation marks). When logging into the FiOS Router the first time (or after

restoring the FiOS Router’s default settings), the user is asked to create a new

user name and password. Enter the new user name and password, write them

down on a piece of paper, and keep it in a safe place. The new user name and

password will be needed to access the FiOS Router’s GUI in the future.
