Evan, I think this is not the product for you if you have fiber optic internet service to your home / location. This router is standard technology and speeds. The Verizon fios website or customer support may be a better choice for options to extend your wifi connections. This router uses a standard ethernet type connection to my cable modem to link my wifi devices (laptop, iPad) to TWC internet services. The data transfer speeds are adequate for my needs but likely significantly slower than what you expect with a fiber connected ISP.

depends if it is a reverse SMA connector. I have no idea what kind of FIOS router you are using. FIOS is not a brand name for the hardware. FIOS is the name of the service.

I don't have Verizon Fios, but you have to understand the point of the repeater is extend your wireless signal. Assuming you are running a wireless network at home, the repeater will allow you to get or extend that wireless signal to places you don't already have it. If you're using Verizon just for wireless tv, you should check if you need Verizon hardware to access that signal. But if you're using Verizon for your wireless tablets or laptops, the repeater should work for extending that signal. Difficulty? If you can find your SSID and password for your wireless network, no problem. If you don't know what that is, have someone else do it.

you can use this model as a repeater for your existing router, its called ddwrt, its a firmware update that you download to the router you want to use as the range extender(repeater)

It was easy to setup for the whole house (3000 sq feet), however this device only acts as extender of the n/w and won't provide routing. I had to buy an external router (Tp-Link) and connect it to my Cox cable modem.

I have a related but slightly different question. If I have Comcast and use this device as the transmitter (plugged into my router), can I use an old FiOS router in my living room as the receiver? Trying to determine if this would work so I can buy the single pack instead of the twin pack.

I don't have Verizon FIOS so I'm not sure how you're connected. But if you have coaxial connections, this POE (Point Of Entry) should be placed just like the name says, at the "point of entry" or source of your cable source before any splitters. It might be easy to find or may take you a while depending on how your provider installed your cable. Worst comes to worst you may have to call them to help you. Once installed it worked like a charm.

This is not meant to be used as a router, it's more like a hub that has wireless capability. It can be used as bridge between a router and clients or as a wireless range extender. You can do a search on Zyxel WAP 3205 and go to the Zyxel site and download the manual. All the pictures in it show this unit connecting to a router (pg 15). I use it as an extender and had no problems setting it up with an Actiontec DSL Wireless router from Verizon using Windows 7.

No need. I have my main router hooked up to main FIOS Internet line on 3rd floor and the extender is on main 1st floor so that my TV on main floor and in basement can get internet by WIFI. It also allows me to get Internet outside. I can move around throughout the house using my tablets, cell phone, ipods blueray players and laptops using wifi. Son connects his game system and we don't lose connection. It's best to keep your network secured. Hope this helps.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

We are running this router on a DSL line. We did this configuration some time ago, but I remember you needed a computer with wired access via an Ethernet port to configure it. I had to borrow someone's laptop to do it as my laptop did not have the necessary port. The instructions were in the manual that did not come with my device, but I was able to find them online. It was a relatively easy setup as I remember.

I have a Verizon Fios-provided gateway router attached to my Extreme. I disabled the wifi on the gateway and only use it as a modem providing signal through an Ethernet cord to my Extreme. I've had no problems at all.

The router works fine. However, I have metal studs in my home and therefore the full power did not reach to the far end of the house. I bought an extender and now have full power everywhere. Easy setup. Just make sure you set up extender plugged in next to your computer and then move it to the location to want....they left out that set.You may not even need an extender.

Hi Betty, I am not clear on exactly you are asking I guess. You should be able to take this router, connect it to your cable modem with the supplied cat5 cable and then run the setup with no problems. This is about as universal as you can get and will worth the price. Super impressed with the router so far. Hope that helps.

You need to decide how you'll use it, as an 'extender' or an Ethernet port. It will 'talk' to the router in both modes (no hard connection). As an extender, any device within range will detect and be able to use it.

Yes it will work fine. Just plug er in and use it as a wireless switch. I've put several of these in and set them up that way. This thing works way better then the dumb router that my ISP makes me pay a monthly rental fee on.

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.
