Verizon Fios ONT & AX6000
Ok - I got a weird issue.... I hooked up my Orbi AX6000 directly to the ONT using a Cat7 cable. Pretty rockin you'd think, right? Not so much. Speed is actually SLOWER than if I hooked up th...
Please make a new post about your NAS connection issues.
Please mark this thread as solved so others will know.
Something to look into:
Thank you.
Sorry, this corona stuff sidetracked me...
So when I do a speedtest in my Orbi in QOS now it is usually below 500 mbps each direction (usually 300 to 400 mbps).
However, when I connect it with the Quantum Gateway first, and then forward all ports and put the Orbi in DMZ, I get usually 700 to 900 mbps on the Orbi speedtest.
It's just weird. I've also completely disconnected the Verizon Quantum Gateway and only ran the Orbi AX6000 and same results, the slower speeds. Could this just be something weird inside the Orbi?
One other "nuance" I noticed... I have a QNAP NAS. Check out the results with the different scenarios:
Quantum Gateway First: Using the same network, I can connect to the QNAP via the web (not internal network)
Orbi Direct Connected to ONT: You cannot connect via the URL. You can ONLY connect on the internal IP address (i.e. 10.0.0.15). BUT, if I am on an external network and I connect to the URL, it works and I connect to the QNAP.
It's almost as if the Orbi detects the loop and blocks it but the Quantum Gateway permitted it.
I'm not sure if I can help you but I do have a very similar configuration. Verizon ONT directly connected to Orbi AX in router mode over CAT6 cable. I also have a gigabit FiOS service and if I run the Orbi QoS test I get 800 down/900 up. I also get 900/900 between all wired devices and my synology NAS that is connected directly to the Orbi. Do you know what model ONT you have? I have a I-211M-L (Alcatel) if that matters.
I'm a FIOS GB customer who just converted from Eero to Orbi RBK852. Using the Orbi mobile app to set things up, it put my RBR850 into router mode with both Orbi devices (router and satellite) and all wirelessly connected devices on the 10 network.
Everything Is working just fine (700-800Mb download and upload speeds) but I cannot connect to my FIOS ONT admin console via the normal IP (192.168.1.1). What do I need to change in my setup to be able to do that? The two networks are obviously routing...what am I missing?
TIA.
The FiOS ONT is a device on the WAN side of your home router that bridges verizon's optical network to an ethernet port which connects to your router, it does not show up as a 192.168.1.x address on your LAN. I've never seen an interface for the ONT, I'm guessing it exists but is something only VZ techs can access since the ONT is really part of Verizon's network not yours.
If you are talking about your Verizon Gateway (eg. g1100, ac1750) then you wouldn't see (or need it) on your LAN assuming you are using the Orbi AX as the home router (it replaces your Verizon Gateway). There are some advanced configurations which people use that keep the Verizon Gateway on the LAN network to provide cable service to their TV boxes. If that's what you are trying to do you can find details on that here:

My apologies for the confusion. Yes, the FIOS ONT is the large box on the side of my house. I was referring to the FIOS gateway device in my home that I used to access via the 192.168 network.
