Orbi 60 RBR 850

Verizon FIOS router. Do I need it? I have FIOS gigabit service and i would like to plug the modem directly into the Orbi. Can I do that or do I need the FIOS router? The 850 is currently connecter to the router by one of the 4 access ports

    Something to ask the ISP about. Some ISPs need the router in place. Some you may get away with connecting the RBR directly to the ONT. Check with the ISP to see if there are any special configurations needed or not.
