They won't do any work with non-Verizon networking equipment. When Verizon installs FiOS, they want a Verizon router in the system so they can verify everything is working properly. A Verizon router is needed for set-top-box guide, video on demand and other advanced services. In other words, if you have a non-Verizon router and you call about a TV problem, you won't get help. They don't prohibit people from using non-Verizon routers, they just don't provide any support to such setups.īy any support, I mean "any" support. This makes sense, as it really is an impossible task to be able to support any and all routers that could be installed. Verizon will not provide any support when a non-Verizon router is used as a primary. Is this how this works? Will Verizon honor this configuration? Will this even work? ![]() So ONT > COAX > Moca Adapater > MY OWN Router (foregoing any need for an actiontec verizon router) I do not know how Fios TV fits into all of this, I would assume (big assumption) that the Coax coming from the ONT can plug directly into the Fios TV BOX and tv will work? And then I can split the Coax and put the Coax into a Moca to Ethernet converter, and then put an ethernet into my own firewall or router or what have you. I am curious to know if I could just buy a Moca to Ethernet adapter and if the technician will just shove a Coax into this device when he comes here to install the information. It appears that they want me to purchase a Router/Wireless/Moca adapter device and disable /bridge everything to use my own equipment, I do not understand why. I already have several Access Points, Firewalls and Routers that are a lot better than anything Verizon has to offer. I have never gotten to the point where I could test for an ehternet connection when the adapter is used to feed an STB.Īgain, I'm stumped and any ideas would be greatly apprecaited.My verizon service will be installed in a few days, and I am providing my own router. I only have problems when I am trying to take a signal from the COAX network and pass it thru the adapters internal splitter. Obsrervation: both adapters worked fine with a signal coming fron the router LAN port into the COAX network since all STB's were able to obtain LAN addresses and had STB data avaialable. COAX network worked fine and ALL STB's were provided a LAN address and had data connectivity (was able to see guide and STB operating information). Again, no data connectivity.ģ) Swapped MOCA adpters that is, the adpater initially feeding the COAX network off the LAN ethernet port was swapeed for the adapter used in the bedroom. Still have MOCA adapter feeding the COAX network from LAN ethernet port to serve LAN addresses and provide STB data.ġ) Swapped identical STB's between rooms - no change in lack of data connectivity.Ģ) Moved 2nd MOCA adpater that I was trying to use in bedroom to another room. Looking for advice on where to go from here.įollow up to my initial post. I am wondering if there is a compatibility issue with the equipment I am using and the Actiontec device. I am not really sure where to go from here. ![]() I left the adapter in the upstairs bedroom installed as per manufacturer instructions and nothing changed. This was the new installation for the home closest to the ONT: ONT->POE Filter->4-way splitter->ECB6200 Coax In->ECB6200 Ehternet Out->G1100 LAN Port. ![]() I then tried installing two of these adapters and removed the COAX connection to the G1100 (see picture above). ![]() I tried a reboot after installation of both the router and the STB, but no change. WIth this installation, I get video (which I assume is via QAM) but I lose an IP address and have no programming guide, nor do I see ehternet on the HDTV. I installed a single subject adapter since it was my understanding that the G1100 router negated the need for a second Actiontec device in the signal stream. When the coax is directly connected to the STB, there is no problem with the STB obtaining an IP address and displaying the programming guide. I have an HDTV & STB in an upstairs bedroom that I would like to provde video and programming info via COAX to the STB and ethernet to the HDTV for Smart TV functions using the subject device. In short, I cannot get the subject adapter to work even with multiple installation methods.
