Is the NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S AC3200 C7800 compatible with Frontier/Fios internet service?
Twice I contacted Technical Support at Frontier/Fios. The 1st tech told me that if the Nighthawk had the input coax connector on the rear. That when connected the unit would automatically connect to the Fios system. I was skeptical so I call again. The 2nd time the tech told no and that Fios did not have a listing of recommended substitute cable modems.
I do want to continue to pay their monthly rental fee.

A Cxxxx model does use a co-axial cable connection. Is that what
your (unspecified) current modem+router(?) uses?
Yes, my current Fios cable/router uses the MoCA connection. That is why I am looking at the Nighthawk X4S AC3200 C7800-200NAS
After doing some research, before installing the new Nighthawk unit. I think that the DHCP lease on the WAN connection must be removed on the FIOS router.

"co-axial cable" and "MoCA" are spelled differently for a reason. A
model Cxxxx has no MoCA capability.At least one of us still has no idea what your (unspecified) current
modem+router(?) is (maker, model number), or to what it's connected.
