Re: [northeast] Just ordered my FIOS!
I'd suggest sifting through the forum FAQ about the Verizon provided router & alternate configs. Lots of helpful info. |

| There isnt much information about the configuration I will be getting. Keep in mind that NYC FIOS installs are a brand new animal, as its not fiber direct to each tenant. Apparently they use bendable fiber to a common area, and then come into your apartment via coax (although I cant confirm this yet). I was hoping someone had insight into if I will be getting different equipment, and what that might be. Sometimes FAQ's dont always have what you need, hence my post here.

Most that I have seen are fiber to each apartment. They put an ONT is an out of the way place, possibly a closet, and put the power unit near an outlet.
You can get ethernet or MOCA depending on the tech and your insistence.
The Verizon router is necessary to run the coax through for the channel guides. |
