Why not use the WiFi capabilities of the FiOS router? Unless you have TV service, or are connected by coax, it seems redundant. Nice collection and clean setup btw. |

I used to have a different ISP and needed the Apple hardware for the network. I switched to FiOS and still wanted to use my Apple hardware. According to what I've read about FiOS in order to utilize all of the television features I have to keep that router in place.
And thank you |

And thank you Yes, the On Demand, interactive, and program guide features need that box to operate. If you haven't already, you can actually connect the internet to the Airport Extreme, and the FiOS router to the Airport, instead of having the FiOS router feeding the Airport. |

Now that I didn't know. I'll have to look into that! |

Nice to see the Cube there. I still have mine, but "light internet browsing" is very generous.  |
