I recommend contacting the ISP first to see if there modem can be replaced by 3rd party wifi routers. If so, then you would need a Orbi RBK system. You can't use the CBK system as that product is for cable ISP services, not FIOS.

I also have a home where I have VERIZON Fios for TV and the Internet.  The home is a 2 story 2200 Square foot home.

Verizon provides a gateway (combination modem & router) for the service to operate.

 

I would like to replace their system with possibly an Orbi Mesh product.  I hear that I need only to get a new router.  Can anyone shed some light on this subject for me and recommend a device?
