Re: [PLUG] Cheap Firewall - Use old Wireless Router?

Rich,

I'd be happy if Verizon "forced" me FIOS. Unfortunately they are too D*MN cheap to run fiber in Spring City so I'm stuck with Verizon DSL.

You mentioned Verizon. It was my understanding that all DSL customers had been converted to FIOS, and if so, you do not have a cable modem in your house, you have a router. FIOS logically terminates at the ONT on the side of the house, they can run coax or CAT5E into the house from there. Updating to a newer Verizon-supplied router with better throughput and gigabit support may be a phone call away, and low or no cost.
