How to fix Verizon Fios not working

Verizon Fios is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reboot the Fios router, then your device

   Unplug the router's power cord, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Let the router finish booting, then restart the phone or laptop that lost the connection; if only that device fails again, the router is probably fine and the device is the problem.

2. Compare Ethernet against Wi-Fi

   Connect a laptop to a LAN port on the router with an Ethernet cable and load a site. If Ethernet works but Wi-Fi does not, forget the network on your phone or laptop and join it again: on iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the info button > Forget This Network, and on Windows 11, go to Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks > Forget.

3. Renew the device's IP address

   On Windows, open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew. On a Mac, open System Settings > Network > Wi-Fi > Details > TCP/IP and click Renew DHCP Lease; this clears a stale address without touching the router.

4. Check the Fios router WAN status

   Open a browser to 192.168.1.1 and sign in with the router admin password printed on the label. Find the Internet or WAN status; if it shows no address or a disconnected state, power cycle the router and the ONT where the router connects, then call Verizon if it stays down.

While Verizon Fios is down: what to use instead

• Mobile data Mobile data on your phone works for email and maps when the home line drops.
• Mobile hotspot Turn on your phone's hotspot to keep a laptop online for a work call when the home connection fails and the cell signal is strong enough.
• Public Wi-Fi Public Wi-Fi at a library or cafe helps for a larger download or video call when you can leave home.
• Support phone line Call Verizon support from a mobile phone to report the outage when the home line is dead.

Problems at the same time as Verizon Fios

Since 27 October, all 4 of Verizon Fios's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
