it wont work.
If you tend to move between multiple providers due to apt/home move, always buy stand-alone router such as RAXE500, RBK752, etc
If you need to stop paying rental, buy a cable modem.
with FiOS and ATT fiber, you have to always pay rental.

At the moment, I don't see any rental fees on the FIOS modem, but I'll def buy a router if it comes to it if I do see a hint of a charge. I'll keep the CAX80 for future use if the area I move to doesn't have fiber. I'm a big fan of that router. Big bummer it can't be used with FIOS
