How do I reset the firmware on a Verizon Quantum Gateway G1100 router?
I have a Verizon Branded G1100 router that was used at the beginning with Verizon, but then switched to Frontier when Verizon bought Frontier out. I gave away the router to someone who has Verizon but it won’t work because they can’t reset the firmware with Verizon’s version. Would you happen to know the best way I can explain this? I know some forums online say it’s impossible while others say it is. But I can’t find any clear instructions. I would have to assume it must be possible since it had Verizon firmware at the beginning and then had Frontier firmware. It can’t be that hard to go back to Verizon’s firmware. Please help if you can. Thank you for your time.
Is this a good question?

Mike, Thanks so much for taking the time to comment twice. Yes, unfortunately the above point and points below were already attempted. And Verizon is not terribly helpful. I think if we can switch the firmware to Verizon from Frontier on our own, then Verizon might be more helpful .

Mike, it used to have Verizon firmware, so I know it will take it. It's just finding it and doing it myself.

do you have to be with Verizon or Frontier network, in order to receive the firmware updates, on hard reset? I bought my own G1100 router, and am trying for the upgrade.

If you can reset the firmware I'm sure you can. My G1100 was on both the Frontier and Verizon networks. But I don't know how, so I have the same questions you do.
