Can I connect my Time Capsule directly to the Verizon FIOS ONT?
Hi
I'm getting rid of Verizon FIOS TV and phone, but keeping FIOS Internet.
My ONT is a TELLABS 612A, the ethernet port is active and connecting to the Verizon router without a problem. The coax is gone -- toast. The Time Capsule is connected to the Verizon router and I'm running my wired and wireless network off the Time Capsule. I want to completely get rid of the Verizon router so that I'm no longer paying a router rental fee.
So I want to either:
1. Connect the TC directly to the ethernet port of the ONT and use the TC as the router.
2. Buy another ac router as a bridge. Obviously this option seems redundant.
I'm interested in the feasibility of option 1 and to hear from people regarding the setup they used.
For option 2 I'm similarly interested in hearing about the setup and replacement router they used.
Many thanks
Simon
