1. Do I need the Verizon Fios modem that supplies the fiber optic connection in a coaxial ? Need internet connection with the ISP modem/ONT serivces that has RJ45 connections.
2. So the Verizon modem attaches to the Router of Orbi ? The Orbi has a router. Preference is to have a ISP modem with out a router built in and just be a modem only.
3. Can I hardwire the Orbi Router and Satellites using cat-5 or cat-6 cable ? YES. Will this hardwiring of Router to Satellites preserve the extreme high-speed of the internet and not let it fall drastically ? Wireless speeds of client devices max out at about 400-500mb. Current wireless design and limiations will not compair to LAN wired performances.
