Private home two floors question.

What do you mean by "add another FiOS box"?

If you mean the FIOS router, you can't connect two routers to the same ONT.

Is there coax or cat5 running from where your router is to the 2nd floor?

From an account perspective, since your brother is immediate family, you can share your service with him. However, you're going to have to figure out how you're going to get service to the 2nd floor.

I meant a cable box for television service. Which means they will
Probably have to come out and run another cable as I don't think they will just send me a box and let me do it myself which may cause a problem internally since its being run to another floor which already has an ONT installed in that apartment. I would also probably need a new splitter since the one they connected is full.

Yeah you can just order another STB and they can even UPS it to you. If you want them to come out and run another Coax to that apartment or whatever they'll probably bill you for it, if you can get them to agree to it.

If you do it yourself, you'll have to disconnect the coax coming from the ONT upstairs, and run a coax cable, if there isn't already one in the wall, from downstairs to upstairs. So yes, if your splitter is full, you'll either have to get a new one to replace it, or add another one coming off of it.

I honestly would rather have Verizon do it. If it cost a little bit to do that's fine.

If it is zoned as a two family residence, VZ won't do it for you, they're separate.

Well it was worth a shot asking!
