Issues with FIOS GATEWAY wifi

 Recently I was having issues with my FIOS internet access! It was acting up. On the router there are two ways to connect, the 2.4 GHz didn't work.

Today I was checking and the settings website was: myfiosgateway.com SURPRISE SURPRISE it has now NOTHING to do with the router!!

It shows this tiny announcement and NOTHING ABOUT WHY IT"S NOT WORKING:


I had to do some search on duckduckgo.com and this is what I found out! SURPRISE SURPRISE< VERIZON has abandoned it!!

Verizon Abandoned MyFiosGateway

Someone was very kind to post it on Verizon.com - you would think for all the money Verizon takes from clients, they would have the decency to notify! This is another example of "service" not being part of service business! Horrible!

Ok here is the quote:

Although Verizon does not seem to notify anyone (especially clients who are not active on the website or this forum); it seems that some time in 2017, verizon abandoned MyFiosGateway.com (and presumably let the certificate of authentication lapse). 

Although the old email implies 'no other changes' from the corporate shedding of Verizon's email services (to AOL), this support domain is another loss of service for our creeping costs & stock value increase.

When I gave up on a reply here, phone support tech said she could not brows that domain.

What ever function / service that was there, you will have to use some other way to skin that cat.

It turned out neither of us knew about the difference between my router's web & home facing IPs.

A: 192.168.1.1 will get you into the router. You must simply ignore the warning and click continue.

Bayside Digital

When and why Bayside Digital services started.

During Hurricane Sandy, Lucine was in Virginia visiting her girlfriend Yogini. They stopped by one of Yogini's neighbours, Anthony. Anthony showed us the few framed photos he was left with. All the family photos that were at Anthony's father's house up in New York were completely LOST during Hurricane Sandy. Water had rushed thru the basement of his house and all the family's irreplaceable photos and albums were GONE!

Lucine decided to have her photo collection digitized, to save from loss and damage. Her son Alex, who has graphics design background, gladly took upon himself the huge pending project. Alex digitized all 8+ shoe boxes, plus two xerox boxes full of photos with professional tools! What a relief once all those were digitized! Over 9000 analog photos were now safe and accessible anytime and anywhere, ALL archived!

They found out many of their friends were in the same situation. They wished their collection were digitized. Hence, Bayside Digital was created by the end of May 2015.

Bayside Digital is here to help you out with all those boxes of paper photos and albums you cherish. Don't you wish they were all digitized? If you tried to do it yourself on flatbed, you know how time consuming and overwhelming task it is. Also it's not of the best quality output. We can do it at a fraction of the time with high quality output.

If you keep your photos in boxes, there is the threat of damage or loss from natural disasters and deterioration over time.

Let's turn your treasured photos into digital format, to share and enjoy on every modern device. You never know when you might need them!

Let's make it easy to relive those long forgotten family and friends gatherings, vacations, parties, celebrations.

Your treasured paper photos deserve to be digitized and archived. Once we have your photos organized, you'll be able to update and add all your other digital files in one place.

Look for our specials often. We also offer special discounts and donate to non-profit organizations holding special events.

Check out blog for information and helpful tips.

I will add a new FAQ soon

Marketing private day schools

Several months ago, I was recommended by a friend of mine to join the Friends of HMADS.

Due to the lockdown, we have been holding Zoom meetings. Our next meeting is coming up soon. We will be presented by marketing video for the grand fundraising that the school needs to survive and give the most needed private day school education.

I did some research regarding marketing of private day schools and I came upon very useful tips on how to market. Advertising isn't marketing, you need branding, to stand out and show your real value to the community.

Here are the well written articles I compiled:
