Lakegeezer: I couldnt find exactly the information I found before but this is from a Verizon forum:

After speaking with Verizon Expert Care, I was told that Verizon FIOS does not support UPnP, as they only provide Internet Access.
I have the Actiontec MI424WR-GEN3I (hardware version I), with firmware version 40.20.7. Perhaps previous versions of this router have UPnP working, but this version does not.
I guess the result is that Chromecast is not able to be installed on Verizon FIOS networks.

AS I search for the info about Windows 8.....now I'm finding lots of installation advice. Earlier the info I consulted suggested that it was not compatible and to call Microsoft (yeah....right) to get a work-around. As you can tell I'm not real knowledgeable about computer hardware, installation etc.....just the basics here. Sorry if I misled anyone. A Roku 3 is on order and I hope I'll haVE better luck!
