[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 505113, member: 24098"] I believe this has about as much validity as their comment about the router being incompatible with their service. This sounds like an uneducated tier one help desk jockey who misinterpreted his or her script. Most likely, the FIOS "modem" is a router itself and the person you spoke to doesn't understand how to interface two routers together. Many times what happens is that the modem, acting as a NAT router, is handing out private IP addresses in the same range as the wireless router you want to use. This creates a conflict, which is easily rectified just by changing the IP address and DHCP scope of the third-party router. Anyway, very nice review. [/QUOTE]
