| Re: [PLUG] Wireless router recommendation? |
double-bridging the fios router is a big pain. bear in mind though, (in addition to running your own ethernet cable) if you're going to get your ONT provisioned for ethernet, you'll still need to re-configure the actiontec as a MoCA bridge if you have tv service through them. that can also be a pain if you aren't familiar with the process. you could alternatively buy a separate MoCA bridge to replace the actiontec, but they're a little spendy.
