installing orbi mesh with fios
i have two questions: 1) i want to cut the cord with verizon fios. do i need to keep my quantum gateway router? i read somewhere that i can connect orbi mesh via ethernet from the verizon box in ...
One of the FIOS customers will know for certain...... my opinion is
The Orbi requires an ethernet connection. Not coax. Not fiber. If what plugs into the FIOS router is ethernet, them maybe you do not need the FIOS box.
PLEASE do not purchase an Orbi from Verizon. There have been several questions this summer from Verizon customers who are upset that Verizon has not updated the Orbi firmware. They ask, "isn't there some way to load the stock Netgear Orbi firmware?" and the answer is, "not a chance in hell." People have tried..... and failed.
