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.
