Cutting Verizon out of the equation! Orbi mesh
Looking to fully cut the cord. I use Rokus and Sling. Have the RBK50 mesh, love it. Currently using Verizon Fios for basic TV and internet. Want to cut down Fios services to just internet. Two questi...
The RBK50 does not have a coax connector. There is a model of Orbi that has a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem built in, but it is not the RBK50.
We have a number of users with FIOS, and I am sure they will know specifics of your options. My guess (until they respond) is that you are stuck with a "FIOS Box" as long as you have FIOS because FIOS is not a regular "cable modem". You can have Verizon shut down the TV (and telephone), but you need a FIOS box.
(If I am totally wrong, someone please correct me.)
Thanks, that's what I guessed.
Any ideas if I will need to swap in a different FIOS box (internet only) or will I continue with this router? If the FIOS box won't change I might as well go ahead with my antenna efforts.
Not really a Netgear question, so feel free to ignore.
