It is overly complex.
<snip> There's actually even more nuance to it than that: FiOS (although, I thought that was owned by Frontier now? It certainly was when I had it up here [.wa.us]) with TV service requires MoCA (Multimedia over CoAxial), and thus requires the use of their (awful) combined router/wifi/MoCA bridge that connects to the ONT (Optical Network Terminal) over MoCA. In that case, you need to set it up to bridge to your own router behind it, &c. However, if you are using internet/phone-only FiOS service, you can get the service technician to hook your router directly to the ONT via Ethernet, as it supports both. _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
