Background:
Verizon Router - MI424-WR Rev D
Purchased Router - ASUS RT-N66U
Current ONT - Coax
Verizon Fios Triple Play (No DVR), 75/35 Quantum
So I've read the FAQ and will likely use option 6. As far as the Ethernet cable. Should it be rated for outside usage? There would be about 3-4 feet of cable exposed from the ONT to where the Coax is currently traveling into the house.
I purchased the following Cat 6 wire and was planning on running a direct line from the router to my PC but was wondering if i could use it to run from the ONT to the router instead.
What is the likely hood that Verizon would be willing to upgrade our Rev D to a newer model for free? Seems odd to have 75/35 speeds and a router that can get a max of 54Mbps wireless. We had Fios internet (lower speeds) for awhile then purchased the Triple Play. My guess is they didn't change the router when we upgraded. (I wasn't home when they did the install so not positive)
I've attached an image of my ONT and just wanted to confirm that the Ethernet port that says Data and has Mode/Link under it is in fact where I should be hooking it up prior to calling Verizon and telling them I want my internet switched from Coax to Ethernet.
Thanks!
