C6900 No Internet connection with Verizon
We cannot connect to the Internet with the Nighthawk C6900 cable modem router. Please give instructions. Let us know if Verizon does not support this router, though it should.
The Netgear C6900 is not an appropriate router if Verizon is the ISP. Verizon field technician and web site said that the Actiontec modem supplied by Verizon must be used as the first router if you want to add your own third party router. Verizon says that an Internet connection is required for the program guide displayed on the TV. If a third party router is used, it would need a WAN port, which the C6900 does not have, to connect an Ethernet cable to the Actiontec. Also, the C6900 does not have USB ports or a power switch.

More precisely, it would need an _Ethernet_ WAN port, which the C6900
does not have. One might argue that its cable-TV co-ax port is a WAN
port, just not the type which you need. Thanks for the confirmation.
