Having Samsung Wireless Link FiOS Router Problems?
What most people don't know is that Verizon FiOS has a nasty reputation of secretly blocking competition by creating technical hurdles that make devices not work any longer. I had my Samsung TV hooked up to my Verizon Actiontec router for over a year and it suddenly stopped working. This happened a few years ago when I was using Slingbox as well and trying to access TV programming remotely. Verizon blocked access. Are they not blocking access to their routers from Samsung and other WiFi-enabled TV's?
Why would Verizon FiOS do this? First, they want to rent you DVR boxes for $10-$20 per month. Second, they don't want their customers using Netflix, Pandora, or anything that competes with watching TV or video on demand. Why is no one investigating this? FCC?
