GC110 and FIOS
Hi everyone,
I would like to know if I can use my GC110P as the router for FIOS? I only want internet, no TV or phone. I am going to order a 100/100 connection and I do not want to use their material. Can I connect my GC110P directly to the ONT through RJ45?
Any answer will be appreciated,
Thanks
From another continent, don't know much about FiOS ONT. By rule of thumb, a router is always required (for NAT address translation, WiFi, Ethernet port(s), regardless if the connection is coming in over a CableTV copper or Fibre.
The GC110, resp. any Insight Managed Switches (GC models) are capable L2+ switches, but not router, NAT device, or the like.
