   Yes, I did look into that, but I do have FiOS TV, so I need the MOCA
stuff to keep working. Interestingly, my FiOS Android app can no longer
access my DVR contents, and I suspect the "unsupported" router is to
blame. I'm not sure I want to know what stupid router tricks they are
pulling for that one.

   I also do the trick of having my own router behind theirs, though to
support my IPv6 tunnel broker connection I have a smart switch to put
the FiOS LAN on my main LAN as a tagged VLAN, and configured a VLAN on
my server to route IPv6. Probably not the most secure thing, I know,
but some extra work for any attacker.
