Re: Ridiculous
Um no. The router handles the coax for updates to the STB menus, directory, etc. Plus the Actiontec model is pretty robust, it does WPA, it has decent navigation (compared to some router models out there), and the Wifi signal has been pretty solid (feeds my 2nd story Mac and 2 Airport Express for streaming audio and repeating).
Yes, Verizon could make the URL for updating "automatic" instead of "disabled" (checking the firmware update screen, it needs to be done manually and default points to Actiontec and not Verizon).
Better yet, I wonder how many FIOS subscribers with this model actually know to use a browser to connect?
(BTW, I reboot mine often to get new IP....don't ask!)
