[Networking] New install

I'm scheduled to have FIos installed this week for a triple play package. I ordered the quantum router for my setup. I don't expect my setup to be complex but it's likely I will disable wireless on the quantum router and use my own wireless. Based on the info in the FAQ, this should not be difficult to configure. While the tech is at my house should I have the ONT enabled for Ethernet? I have cat 5 wire all set to go.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

If you are ready, I would ask for ethernet install. Just connect the ethernet to the WAN port of the new router. If you have Verizon's TV boxes the coax should be connected also, but the internet will come on the cat 5-6 to your router.
Depending on your equipment, you can figure out how you want the eventual setup to be. Here is a guide to help figure it all out:

Thanks everyone. The router will less then 10 feet from the ONT.
