that depends on how internet is brought into your home. If your internet service is brought into your home via coax cable, you will need your Verizon modem. However, if it is brought in directly via an ethernet cable, then the router (not the nodes) could replace your fios modem. It may require Verizon to enable an outside modem to connect to their network, but should be a matter of plugging in the orbi directly to that incoming ethernet cable to work
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will - that's what I did. You will connect the ONT (the FIOS box likely in your garage) to this router via Ethernet, and that's all you need. The only downside is that FIOS support will not be able to connect directly to your router for troubleshooting, if an issue should arise. Personally I am quite OK with that (from privacy/security perspective), but if you are not able to troubleshoot problems yourself, it might be a downside.
