Fios Actiontec Router Messing with my Microcell

First time tech savvy user who has been reading and trying all configuration and reboot permutations away. I have a problem though my  MI424 gen3/gige modem , despite a dmz and the most liberal port forwarding rules and firewall lowered as low as possible setup, I still get these blocked servces in my firewall security log

Also from what the CSR told me since my activation progress page hasn't even done the first step (powered up) she said it is most likely an internet problem.


All three lights solid. 3g blinking.

I'm a student renting from a couple in their house. I would appreciate this BIG TIME. Any advice?

A blinking green 3G indicates you don't have internet access (which you know). A blinkning red 3G light usually means a hardware failure or a reset that didn't complete correctly after an AT&T update.

 

You need to check with the ISP to make sure they aren't blocking any ports. Specifically 443 TCP (HTTPS over TLS/SSL),123 UDP (NTP timing),  4500 UDP (IPSec NAT traversal) and 500 UDP IPSec Phase 1). DHCP needs to be on on your router and IPSec Pass-through enabled. Block fragmented packets needs to be disabled and only one of the devices can be handling the NAT duties.

 

The MicroCell needs to be 18" away from a window with an unobstructed view of the sky. I also suggest placing the MicroCell horizontally to the window so that the side of it (as you are facing the front of the MicroCell) is facing the window The MicroCell should also be at least 2' away from any WiFi source.

 

Use the ethernet port on the MicroCell (not the Computer port) to connect it either directly to the modem/gateway (Priority Connection) or to the router. A priority connection by-passes the router which eliminates any configuration issues that the router may have and connects the MicroCell directly to the internet. It is usually reserved for trouble-shooting but some prefer to connect it that way.

 

The MicroCell is a totally closed system so you don't have access to the inner workings like you would a router.

 

If you are renting a room from someone, how are you getting your internet? Do they have another switch somewhere feeding you or do you have your own service independent from them?

 

You also need to make sure that you are the primary account holder for the MicroCell (your cell phone number is the same as the billing address) because initial activation requires that the GPS coordinates match the billing address.
