Why You See MyFiosGateway Not Secure Security Warning
The “Not Secure” security warning you see when accessing myfiosgateway.com in your web browser is because the Verizon server SSL certificate is not being recognized by your computer operating system. This happens if the certificate has expired or if it’s a self-signed certificate, which is the case with our MyFiosGateway.com login and the default Fios IP address 192.168.1.1.
Currently, Verizon uses a self-signed certificate for MyFiosGateway.com, and it is different from SSL and TLS certificates issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). However, it is completely trusted by Verizon Fios users, since Fios Internet operates on your local area network (LAN), it is secure to proceed as the warning is not a genuine security threat and does not mean your connection is unsafe.
Verizon Fios has been a trusted service provider since 2005, serving millions of customers across nine U.S. states. If you continue to experience issues or have any concerns, you can Contact Verizon customer support for assistance. You can Contact Us for live support at any time.
