Connection issues with FioS G3100
Pulling my hair out trying to figure out what is causing the issue here. We recently upgraded to the FiOS G3100 Gateway router and I've been able to connect my A7000 directly to the router. No...

TimBone Kind of want to say I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue, however I'm not glad that people have to deal with this too.
Was hoping another user found the reason/work around, because I already know Verizon will be useless and Netgear will likely give a few things to do and say it's on Verizon, with neither of them offering a solution.
Been busy with other things, but I'm going to continue to work at this and see if I can't figure out a way to get this to work. Or hopefully someone else can see this and chime in and at least let me/us know it works for them and that it is something that can be done as opposed to me bashing my head against the wall for nothing.
Planning on rolling back drivers for the WiFi dongle and giving that a shot. I tried messing around with various settings on the router, and nothing was going. It's just annoying that it sees the card, I can see the SSID and get through the password, but then it's just in a **bleep**ty limbo. More infuriating that it somehow seemed to work for a couple minutes before crapping out.

I spent an hour on chat with Netgear to no avail. Tried deleting/uninstalling/installing the A7000, forcing connection protocols, disabling the AX protocol in the FIOS router etc.
My laptops built-in adapter does connect 99% of the time but it has been disconnecting on ocassion. I'm suspecting an issue with the FIOS Router. Calling them next. Wish me luck. I'm convinced before I even call them that it will be a waste of time.
