Frontier Wireless Router..


Recommended Posts

So, if you have read my other post, I recently got a PS3.. I have Frontier for high speed at home. The PS3 and the modem are across a room from each other. I talked to a friend who told me that Frontier will not work with a regular wireless router. Anybody have expierience with this?

Well it seems to me if you have a signal (read network cable) coming in, you should be able to “route” it any way you wish. Whether it be Frontier on any other company.

They might not service anything beyond the connection coming in, but I don’t have any idea as to why it wouldn’t work.

There should really be no good reason why it shouldn't work. Depending if the router hands out DHCP IP addresses or if you have to statically assign one. The wireless router would have an inside network(in the house) and an outside network(to the frontier router and the internet). The wireless router would just pass traffic from inside to outside to the Frontier router and then the Frontier router would go to the internet and bring data back and send it to the outside of the wireless router which in turn would send to the inside network. No real reason it shouldn't work. Routers don't really care who they talk to.

log into the admin panel of the router to get your settings and configure the ps3 to match.

The frontier router i was working with last week doesn't have one of those auto connect buttons unlike a linksys. SO you would have to set up with PW other than that you may have to check what channel the router is broadcasting on.

I have Frontier, and a PS3 and my NAT type is STRICT and have contacted them about fixing that and opening ports, and they tell me it is a Playstation problem, and PS tells me its a Frontier problem. I guess I am gonna live with it

DD -

I have the speedstream modem from frontier, run through a Belkin N+ router, with a Linksys range expander.

If I can get that all to work, you can get your setup to work.

One thing I WILL say, is that lately I have had a lot of dropping of the network.

I think some of that might be because we have (2) desktop computers, (2) range expanders, Wii, PS3, a laptop and netbook running at any given time.

I have frontier also and i setup a wireless router in my home, It worked ok for a short time but then it wasnt connecting and dropping signal all the time. After a call to their tech line They sent out a repair guy and after all was said and done they installed there own router and everything has worked great since. He explained it to me that some routers didnt work very well with there system for some reason. They came out and fixed this at no charge to me.

I have frontier at home & the in-laws house, both are working fine with a wireless router attached.

I take it you must not have a wireless router from them? They set me up with a Siemens wireless router that actually works pretty good, but I have since disabled it and bridged it to my linksys because I like it better.

You're basically telling the frontier router not to route, and to just pass the internet connection through to your own wireless router so it can do all of the work.

Frontier customer service may be ok but they offer terrible service.

Every so often I have an e-mail that say its undeliverable with a code. I called Frontier CS and they sent me to [email protected]. They then sent me to another department and that group told me they had no idea what the code meant.

Its Frontiers code. Great company. C'mon Version get into my area soon.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
