| Re: connecting with JUST a workgroup switch? said by tschmidt  :Do you know if your ONT includes a router? ONT's do not include a router. They are a media bridge.
• Fiber -> RF over coax (video)
• Fiber -> ethernet over coax (MOCA) or cat-5
• Fiber -> POTS
VZ provides the Actiontec MI424-WR wireless router which can be connected to the ONT via coax (VZ preferred), or cat-5. The Actiontec also provides the LAN connection for the STB's over coax which provides VOD and guide data.
The OP was undoubtedly provided an Actiontec by the installer. It's not clear he wants to use a 5 port switch instead of the provided Actiontec. |
