Do I have to have a D-Link router for this to work? I have Verizon Fios standard type router. Any experience anyone?

I just got my camera, tried to install yesterday. I have Verizon Fios router, it worked with hardwire, but doesn't seem to work with the Wifi.Did it work out for you?

Works fine with any wireless router. I have it connected to a Netgear wireless router.

It worked for several days before I added the switch. I'm using the basic FiOS setup with an actiontec WiFi router that Verizon gave me.

depends if it is a reverse SMA connector. I have no idea what kind of FIOS router you are using. FIOS is not a brand name for the hardware. FIOS is the name of the service.

If you have DSL, this won't work. If you have cable ie. Fios this will work. You will need a router in addition to the NetGear Genie which is a software application.

I could be wrong, but if you have any other wi-fi devices running on B or G, you are limited to the fasted device on the router. I just got mine, so I will be setting it up tonight to be sure it works.

My recommendation is to follow the directions EXACTLY, step by step, if it says turn everything off, do it. I have set up plenty of wireless routers and assumed I knew what I was doing, and couldn't get it to work. Then I went back and followed the directions step by step and it's worked like a charm ever since.

I'm using it with Netgear ones and it works fine though I couldn't configure it using the Netgear software - had to configure them from the D-Link admin page

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Jerry,I remembered I did try with a simple D-Link 4 way router but failed. I was told by a friend that I need another type of router, an advance type. I think he is referring to static and dynamic routing protocol type of router. However, I did not make any attempt to confirm this.

I had the problem before but I upgraded my wifi to fastest one, instead 300 MBPS (regular speed) on the FIOS router/wifi I install an ASUS which reach up to 650 MBPS on the wi fi connections for all my wi fi d link cameras, Keep in mind in you choose HD cameras this is the route that you need to go. (make sure you direct the cameras to the proper wifi access point.

LOLOL I hear you. My GUESS is that if Verizon gives you an Ethernet feed from their Fios run, then absolutely YES. My guess is they will try to sell you or "word" you into thinking you have to have their router. Ask them clearly if you will get an Ethernet feed without their router. As part of their service, from some of the FIOS installs I have seen, their "smartjack" has an Ethernet output so you might be lucky. hope that helps.

All WIFI devices work under the same IEEE 802.11 WIFI standard. This ensures that all devices can interconnect regardless of make, model, or operating system. There should not be an compatibility issue with your D-Link router.

It could be so many things, but it's interesting that you're using a Linksys router. I initially tried using a Linksys ethernet hub and it didn't work. I then switched to a DLink wireless bridge and have had no issues with it. The DLink connects with my Airport Extreme base station just fine. I wonder if the BD300 has a Linksys issue.

mine is working fine wiith one exception...the signal strength is somewhat weaker than my old d-link router

I did some checking with an engineer colleague who has Verizon FIOS service. Both of us work for Cisco in digital video technology. Cisco is a Verizon vendor and provide many of the equipment Verizon uses. To the best of your knowledge, is your existing setup something like the following: ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;TVs/STBs ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;VERIZON MODEM If so, then yes. I believe it is possible that you can replace the VERIZON modem with the ACTIONTEC. The FIOS modem is not actually a modem at all but instead a MoCA adapter. Being that, you should be able to replace the FIOS adapter/modem with the ACTIONTEC Home Theater Coax Network Adapter. Not only but if you have multiple coax jacks in your house, you can install an ACTIONTEC adapter at each. The ONT (Optical Network Terminal) on the side of your house takes the optical data stream VERIZON sends from its' plants/VHOs then converts and modulates the TV services data stream portion to cable TV frequencies so it can be distributed throughout you house over the existing coaxial cable in your wall. For internet service, it does the same thing but utilizes the MoCA frequencies of the spectrum for internet. Given that MoCA is a cable TV standard, any MoCA device should be able to work. I installed two of these device in my second home because wifi reception and service was poor. I have a D-Link DIR898L wireless router. However because walls are of reinforced masonry construction, much of the wifi signal from the wireless router is mostly blocked.

I'm not sure, I don't know what Verizon Fios is. It only works like a normal house phone with a wall jack, it plugs directly into the jack on the wall only and hangs hangs on the wall. If you have any line filters on the outside of the jack it will not work.

If you have the right router. I don't and need to return mine. Never used it. I have an other that connects by Ethernet cable that works fine.
