Connecting RAX200 to a Fios modem

Hello there,

 

Just bought the RAX200 and extender to try and expand the wifi around the house. I am on Fios (tv and internet) and cannot figure out how in the world to make the router work with my network. 

 

I'm a total noob and it appears that you can't just plug the router into a LAN port of the existing modem/router and expect it to work. Netgear says t owork with my ISP and my ISP says that it should work that way and if it doesn't, to call Netgear.

 

Are there any sites or help that anyone would care to provide before I send these things back???

 

Thank you for any and all advice.

Hello dalbert101,

Thank you! Have you had any experince in just removing the Fios router and using the Nighthawk with a MoAC adapter? I've seen a few youtibe videos on it and it seems plausible since the Fios router is not a modem.

 

Thanks again!
