How To Setup FiOS Modems For Verizon FiOS
When it comes to internet service, Verizon FiOS and other top cable internet providers have quite a few offerings to choose from. The consumer can test the servers of Comcast in many areas of the United States and even Canada. But there are still more things for users to test and review when it comes to Verizon FiOS. An example of a Verizon internet service test that can be performed is the Verizon FiOS Advisor test. If you are interested in learning more about the different ways that Verizon FiOS can be tested and reviewed, this FiOS Advisor review will give you all the information that you need.
Verizon FiOS Modem test can be done by going online, accessing the Verizon FiOS website, or calling Verizon Customer Service. These days, any Verizon internet modem can be configured to connect to a laptop, tablet PC, or smart phone via a USB cable. In order to get started, you will need a router to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Other steps that are required to set up your new Verizon FiOS Modem include updating your hardware and software, setting up a DNS server, and picking a modem configuration that works best for you.
Once you have received an update on your hardware or software, the next step is to download the Verizon FiOS installer. Just like any other computer network installation, you will need a computer, web browser, a modem, an internet connection, and a couple of minutes for installation. Most of the time it is recommended that you use the Windows desktop. This allows your hands-free ability to control the FiOS interface while you are testing and reviewing your internet connection.
To begin, you will need to find and download a free Wi-Fi internet speed test application from a website that offers these applications. You will also need a computer that connects to the internet using a USB port. After you download the free application, launch the program and connect the computer to the internet using a USB cable. The application will ask you to start the test without the FiOS modem. When prompted, type in the following information: name of the computer, IP address, gateway, and battery type. After you complete the initial setup, the FiOS modem will prompt you to upload the latest firmware version.
Once you have successfully uploaded the firmware, you can now power the FiOS modem up. A green light should be on. The reason the green light is displayed is that the modem is doing its initial configuration and needs to be powered up to perform this task.
Modem setup is quite easy. Verizon FiOS modems are designed to be simple for consumers. Most cable companies offer free installation or at least free upgrades for most of their new installations of their fiber-optic Internet service providers (ISP’s). Consumers can save more money by purchasing their own FiOS modems and can continue subscribing to Verizon’s high-speed Internet service even if they have other options.
