10.2 Frequently Asked Questions
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 64-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.
Which connection speeds does the FiOS Router support?
The Ethernet Internet connection supports 100 Mbps. The LAN Ethernet
connections support 10/100 Mbps. The 802.11g wireless connection supports
up to 54 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 cards or 802.11g cards. The
802.11g standard is backward compatible with the 802.11b standard. The FiOS
Router can be setup to handle just "g" wireless cards, just "b" wireless cards,
or both.
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.
