Is this compatible with verizon fios? null

Sadly, no, FiOS is a fiber optic based system, and from the last conversation I had with a Verizon tech, the ONT (outside box) is only allowed to talk to Verizon's own gateways inside the house. If you are not getting your full paid for speed for your FiOS service, you can call Verizon and request that they replace your gateway with the latest model. Another nice feature about the FiOS gateway is you can turn off all if it's routing, DHCP, and wireless function and get yourself a high performance router with multiple radios, beamforming tech, and the internal horsepower to handle lots of devices. I use the Netgear Nighthawk X6(?) model R8000, and it does a wonderful job of figuring out which devices should be on which radio. This is important, because wireless radios will step down their speed to the slowest standard device on any given radio. The R8000 has 3 radios, so my fastest/newest devices are all on their own radio and run at full capacity. Also, a little tip, if you are having range or dropout problems, move your wireless device to the 2.4 GHz radio, it will have longer range and better ability to penetrate walls and other obstacles. The speed difference is very rarely noticeable unless you are doing giant file tranfers within your own network. Hope this helps.

No, this is a cable modem and has been certified compatible with Xfinity/Comcast.

This is a Cable modem so it wouldn't be compatible. Verizon Fios is a different service.

I am not sure but I would probably call Verizon to confirm for that. As I understand, some other system providers frequently have to send 'code' or other keys to your modem sometimes. So probably best to ensure it is compatible. Some are not even aware that 3.1 was available.

No. This is a cable modem that uses coaxial copper cabling and is not compatible with a fiber optic connection.
