![]() So I set it to "DHCP Relay" but that wasn't any different than having it at "Disabled" so I'm sort of feeling stuck. If I wait a bit longer it simply goes back to "Disabled" I tried changing the "IP Address Distribution" to "DHCP Server" but that had a lot of technical setup that I wasn't used to. There's no more "Broadband Connection (Ethernet)" listed anymore. ![]() So, I wait for a bit, and, when I refresh. And now I get a new message beside "Broadband Connection (Ethernet)" : So I clicked the "Enable" button at the top. I would think that the Ethernet should not be disabled, so I clicked on Action. I've looked into the router settings, but haven't touched them, and there's where I found quirk number 2: If I log into the router and go to My Network > Network connections, this is what I see: I tried it once with a static one, but wasn't exactly sure what IP address I was supposed to put in for Default Gateway. I'm generally trying it with a dynamic IP address. I've tried it both with authentication on and off (through Wired Autoconfig being on and off, and simple unchecking the authentication box in the properties menu under the authentication tab). I've called Verizon tech support and got a new router shipped to me, same issue. I've tested with 3 different computers on the ethernet total, as well as 1 router. I've tested with 2 different computers hooked directly from their LAN port to the router's port I've tested with 3 different ethernet cables Here's a brief rundown of what I've done: Quirk number one: on the older router (I got a new one sent), I reset the router via the reset button (not the on/off button) and the ethernet worked for a little less than an hour and then went back to the way it was before. I cannot get any ethernet devices including other routers, or desktop computers without wireless, to work. The Wireless from the FIOS works just fine, and I can connect to it and use the internet just fine (it's how I'm making this post currently.) However, the ethernet refuses to work. This is a rather odd issue, but it's rather straightforward in explanation.
