This router is truly needed to get the best out of your FIOS service without breaking the bank on one time or monthly rental charges. It is also easier than trying to find and set up other FIOS compatible routers which are not officially supported by Verizon. Features are great for it's class and is fairly easy to configure if you are not an IT person by trade. This product was well worth the cost.

Although Verizon promotes this as their top[ line router, it has no external antennas and the range is poor. True both for 2.4 and 5.0 bands. And even at 30 ft away I kept losing the signal. Plus it would not let me flash the firmware even though it was Verizon labelled.. By the war if you buy one that is from Frontier, you also will not be able to flash the firmware to get the latest Verizon features. Verizon disabled this for the Frontier units.Best to buy a aftermarket router that is ac1900 or better. If you need the coax cable for the Verizon FIOS TV, (MOCA), then disable the WIFI on your old Verizon router using the admin portal and going to settings, and hook up an Ethernet cable from one of the 4 ports on the aftermarket router to the WAN port on the Verizon router. Otherwise you lose the menu and widgets.Read full review

I was a little concerned about making this purchase given some of the other reviews about buying from other sources other than directly from Verizon FiOS but as it goes this turned out to be an excellent deal. I get great speeds all the time as indicated in my Speedtest results (on all my connected devices)! Everything was brand new and I just plugged it into my connections and it worked without having to contact Verizon or do anything special. It was easy to configure my Plex server and other devices port permission to access as needed.

I gave it a one star because I have to keep logging into my smart TVs, fire stick loses it’s connection very regularly. That’s probably why they have such a short return time frame. I should have just bought one brand new.

The description of this router is false. It's a Frontier router that is not 100% compatible with Verizon FIOS. Verizon on TV screen Call ID feature does not work when using this router and the seller has recognized it. This is the seller's response to my request: "I don't think I'd be able to guarantee that the firmware would be Verizon.". The problem is that I have already returned my real Verizon router back to the Verizon store and I have lost my $5 monthly discount that Verizon had provided me for renting its router.
