Will this router work after the switch to IPv6?

Account number ending in: 800-0001


Hello,

Verizon is upgrading our Fios Internet network to provide our business customers with dual stack dynamic IPv6 /IPv4 addressing. We will continue to maintain support for IPv4 while adding support for IPv6. We anticipate the upgrade to take place in your area on or after June 5, 2022.

In order to prepare for this upgrade, please review your router security settings to make sure the network is protected from possible intrusion.

Currently, the only Verizon provided routers that support IPv6 are the Fios Router and the Fios Quantum Gateway. To determine which router you are using, click or visit the links below and review the contents:

If you have one of the Verizon provided routers listed above, we recommend a firewall security setting of Medium or above (Medium is the default setting of the router). In order to verify your current settings, connect to the router through your computer by logging into myfiosgateway.com or typing 192.168.1.1 into a browser session and authenticating with the password found on the side of the device. Please click or visit the appropriate link above for further instructions.

If you’re providing your own router, we recommend that you check with your router's manufacturer to determine if it supports IPv6 and for information on appropriate security settings.

Thanks,

Your Verizon Team
