Orbi with Verizon Fios
Hello all, This is my first post since owning my Orbi system. I have a question I have Verizon Fios with internet tv and phone and I am currently using my Fios router G1100 as the primary router and...
Has anyone had success with Option #2 with the G1100 from FiOS? I’ve read that the DMZ setting isn’t a true DMZ and there is still the double NAT problem.
Give this a try and see. Ask your ISP if the G1100 can be bridged if possible. If DMZ or bridging doesn't work, then configure the Orbi for AP mode.

- I’ve tried calling Verizon Fios regarding configuring the router to be secondary and they are not very helpful.
- I found this post which seems to have positive feedback. It explains how one person supposedly bridged his G1100 and kept all of the Fios STB functionality even with Coax coming from the ONT. I have not tried it yet but if someone does and it works please post back here. Otherwise I’ll try it when I can and post back after.

Good Luck.
