LAN Connection Failure
• Ensure the FiOS Router is properly installed, the LAN connections are correct,
and the power is on.

DHCP function, then verify the computer is using an IP address within the
default range (192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.254). If the computer is not
using an IP address within the range, it will not connect to the FiOS Router.

Time out error occurs when entering a URL or IP Address
• Verify all the computers are working properly.

10.2 Frequently Asked Questions
I've run out of Ethernet ports on my FiOS Router. How do I add more
computers?
Plugging in an Ethernet hub or switch expands the number of ports on the FiOS
Router. Run a standard Ethernet cable from the "Uplink" port of the new hub or
switch to a yellow Ethernet port on the FiOS Router.
How do I change the password on the FiOS Router's Graphic
User Interface?
From the FiOS Router's GUI Home screen, click Advanced, then Users. From the
"Users" screen, click Administrator, which generates the "User Settings" screen.
In the "General" section of the screen, change the password.
