How to Connect Your Own Wi-Fi Router to the Verizon 5G Home Internet Gateway (ASK firmware 222656)

Is the Wi-Fi signal from your Verizon 5G gateway too weak to reach all of your devices? In this video, I show you how to set up your Verizon ASK-NCQ1338FA (firmware version 222656) gateway to work with an external Wi-Fi router by putting it into Passthrough mode.

To get to your gateway's control panel, go to this address in a browser on a computer connected to your gateway:

Problems with passthrough mode? See my full blog post:

Here are instructions on how to enable passthrough mode on the ARC-XCI55AX model gateway:

Thank you! The wifi from that box just doesn't cut it in a long 2 story home (despite salesperson stating don't worry about it!). Nice to have a decent alternative to Spectrum.

I have the ASK unit. I kept my router because I have port forwarding set up for security cameras. I also have Deco Mesh set up for wifi. They are set to access point mode after the router. When you go to Pass Through, the pilot light on the ASK goes from white to green. I had to set the ASK firewall setting to minimum because of my alarm system connection to the central station. After all that, everything works great and I am very satisfied with Verizon.

Super helpful video. I will say they've updated the UI on the Verizon Router and IP Passthrough has been moved to a different spot.
Navigate to "Network Connections" > "Edit" Network Home/Office > Settings

You might also consider a mesh. That will give you multiple Wi-Fi transmitters for a large area. They're simple to set up too.

Thank you for explaining! This was helpful 😊

My firmware upgraded and it appears IP Passthru is no longer available. Many new options and granularity but no IP Passthru with the new firmware.

I'm looking to see if I can REPLACE that cube with my own wireless MODEM that I can put a unilateral antenna on....I wondered if there are better brands Verizon allows us to use.

How did you get the ring camera connect? You said it's a week signal but mine don't connect at all that's why I was looking to connect another router

i just order the Verizon 5g home internet. Is it possible to connect the wire to the smart tv but keep the wifi on for other devises? and if so how? thanks

[TheMwfreak]

Should i use AP mode or Router mode after i do the passthrough

Once in pass through mode, how do you connect to the 5g modem it again if you want to change settings?

[wmckkon]

Thanks...I am going to try this. I'll use my previous router, a NightHawk Router R7000. Are there any particular settings to be made on the router used as the extender?

[BruceLayton]

Seems to works ok with my tp-link Deco W6000 mesh network. My only remaining question is, should I leave my mesh router and its satellite in Router mode or should I change it to Access Point mode?

[EliCar-ow]

Hey Brian is the light going from white to green good?

I am just curious but can I do this without connecting an ethernet cable from my computer to the Verizon 5G hub. I do not have a ethernet port on my laptop. I was wondering if I setup my router and hook it up on Port 2 of the Verizon 5g Hub. Will I be able to do the bypass wirelessly and still be connected to the internet. Or will this work doing it wirelessly?

HI. Can you use The Vizon 5G Home as Acesspoint Point( connect Lan from Internet ?

[jimettwein]

I'm thinking of doing this only so that I don't have to change the setup for my Ring, MyQ garage door opener, and other devices that take a bit to setup. It seems to me that if the router has the same id/pw before and after establishing contact via the Verizon 5G device, all should work? Anyone think it won't? :)

[ronniekeys]

Can please show me how to get to the Verizon gate way
