Hello all,
I'm preparing to switch to FiOS and while I'm technically decent at setting up internal networks on DOCSIS 3.0 with Time Warner (I have my own modem and 3 Netgear r7000's all working great) (2 of the r7000's are access points) I have read a ton of stuff online about how I must use the provided Actiontec router from Verizon in order for my TV (VOD, Guide and DVR) to function properly.
I honestly can't find anything in the way of articles on the main site to help with suggestions on the best way to merge this Actiontec router into my current network.. I would prefer to use an r7000 as the primary but I don't think that is possible.
I have tons of connected devices (many game consoles, 2 NAS drives, 4 tablets, 4 phones, 4 laptops, 2 desktops, etc..)
I suppose I am just looking for any info that someone can give me that has gone through trying different things with a FiOS configuration to achieve the best possible results.
Any responses will be greatly appreciated as I haven't been able to find much info anywhere.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
EDIT: I'm not concerned with wireless networking so much, I have that set, I hear the actiontec's stink for that and will be using my r7000's for all wireless needs. Anything that can be hard wired in my home is hard wired. All Gigiabit ports with Cat6 cabling... I guess I'm just worried that the Actiontec router will wind up being a bottleneck as compared to the r7000 I am currently using (which I love)
