We had FiOS installed a few days ago, and I wasn't home for the installation (Someone else was). The installer used coax instead of ethernet from the ONT. Is there any way I could use their modem router as just a modem so that it doesn't do DHCP and all of that other stuff? I would prefer to use my own router and eventually hook up a untangle of pfSense router.

How can I maintain or bypass my FiOS Modem/Router

It's easy to do. I have FiOS TV and internet and use my Airport Extreme as the primary router. Have the Actiontec behind my router only to feed VOD and program guide data to the STBs.

When Verizon hooked up my FiOS they used coax. After they left, I ran an ethernet line from the ONT to my router and called them up and had them activate the ethernet port on the ONT. Problem solved.
I have the same problem. i was thinking because it is really just feeding internet to the STB it could be possible to use a MoCa to Ethernet box connected to your own router providing a connection to the STB, then possibly getting another one and connecting it as well to feed internet in to the router, just have to find what frequency the two run on.
i dont know if this would work or not but it could be a possibility.

Hmmm... that's interesting
