Does this router work with Verizon FIOS? Would this work for me?

The package says "does not work with Verizon FIOS or AT&T Uverse" on the outside.

Yes, it will work. In the previous reply are the settings that you need to setup in order to use this router. Best regards.

I did some checking with an engineer colleague who has Verizon FIOS service. Both of us work for Cisco in digital video technology. Cisco is a Verizon vendor and provide many of the equipment Verizon uses. To the best of your knowledge, is your existing setup something like the following: ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;TVs/STBs ONT &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;COAX&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;SPLITTER&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;VERIZON MODEM If so, then yes. I believe it is possible that you can replace the VERIZON modem with the ACTIONTEC. The FIOS modem is not actually a modem at all but instead a MoCA adapter. Being that, you should be able to replace the FIOS adapter/modem with the ACTIONTEC Home Theater Coax Network Adapter. Not only but if you have multiple coax jacks in your house, you can install an ACTIONTEC adapter at each. The ONT (Optical Network Terminal) on the side of your house takes the optical data stream VERIZON sends from its' plants/VHOs then converts and modulates the TV services data stream portion to cable TV frequencies so it can be distributed throughout you house over the existing coaxial cable in your wall. For internet service, it does the same thing but utilizes the MoCA frequencies of the spectrum for internet. Given that MoCA is a cable TV standard, any MoCA device should be able to work. I installed two of these device in my second home because wifi reception and service was poor. I have a D-Link DIR898L wireless router. However because walls are of reinforced masonry construction, much of the wifi signal from the wireless router is mostly blocked.

If you mean for Verizon FIOS yes it should work. Verizon FIOS is only Fiber up to the local Routers they have and then it is Coax to the home. For internet it will work fine but some said they had lost TV options and other things. So for internet use only this thing should certainly work and be a thumbs up good to go.

I have used this product with verizon fios, and it will not work with a digital cable box. I was however able to get it to work with a standard SD box. The ones that give you no guide info etc. just Basic cable. This is also limited by the length of the Cat6 you are using. I was having issues with the signal until I took an additional 10 feet off of the cat 6 then it worked fine. The run was roughly 65 feet, from the splitter to the wall port. With cat 5 your going to less distance.Basically this product is one of those, just try it and hope it works out if all you have going to the location is cat 5 or 6. Otherwise figure out a way to get coax there. I have used this product with verizon fios, and it will not work with a digital cable box. I was however able to get it to work with a standard SD box.

I have a similar problem with Verizon FIOS, cuts my band width in half. I found out it was not the repeater and a known limitation on Verizon's end. I also heard the same thing for ATT customers

Yes, we have received some feedback from clients on FIOS who are happy with it! If you have any problems, please contact HQTelecom for support -- just make sure you order it from our store (seller: HQTelecom). Thanks!

This will work with any modem / router. Just connect this to your modem / router with an Ethernet cable and you're good to go.I use it with my Verizon Fios Wireless Router. The Verizon wireless is downstairs and this is upstairs. Having two wireless networks in the house is a blessing. If one network has heavy traffic we switch to the other.

I have Verizon Fios, does not work all the time, when it is working you can block call, screen freezes, it has been blocking two numbers that are not on list.I kept it because when it is working it blocks the number you hear one ring.

You have to have a cable modem separately regardless of which router you choose. But yes, it will work fine once you have the appropriate cable modem (probably a docsis 3.0 compliant modem.)

It depends on what you are trying to do. If you are having trouble splitting the FIOS output to many locations in your home, yes it should work. The FIOS system has to be using the coax cable in your house - not phone wires.

It works with most of the routers. Unless your router is very old more than 5 years you should not have a problem with any router. I just installed this a few months ago, and have it set up WPA for my wireless LINKSYS and also for direct wire RJ45 to a CISCO. I also set it up originally for use with my Verizon FIOS wireless that they installed with the system (can not remember but think it is Motorola) in any case it works well with this. If you have a very new router that only supports WPA2 IE is not backward compatible you should not have a problem. You can always fall back to WEP if you have trouble with the newer security Protocols. Not likely anyone that is going to be breaking into your home is going to be able to disable any of the protocols. Most like may rip them out but hopefully by then the system will have done it job. I connected this and the wireless phone add in just in case. Hope this helps

I actually tried it without a Verizon box, hooking the FIOS cable directly to the MDR-515 and asked it to auto channels with cable, analog/digital. I got lots of clear and sharp channels but not all, and it was hard to tell what are those channels, many seems to be repeat of the few basic channels. Phillip

There appear to be different versions of this modem. I chose one that would specifically work with the Verizon network. Check out the specifications before you order one so that you get the correct model.

this router should work with most cable modems, I believe this router should work fine.
