Just want to make sure I understand how this FIOS stuff works. I thought I did.. but now I am not so sure.
I started with an ONT connected by Coax to my FIOS Actiontec router. My quantum STB connects via COAX.
I ran an ethernet cable to my ONT and connected it to my Actiontec router. I called used the direct forum to get switch from coax to ethernet for the ONT / Router connection.
I know that the quantum STB has to use COAX....
I assumed that the STB needed coax from the Moca Connection on the FIOS router... but I removed the coax from the FIOS Router and the STB still got a TV signal. That puzzled me greatly.
Now I am thinking that even if you go to ethernet to the router... you STILL Need coax from the ONT to the quantum STB. Do all of these new 500/500 setups where they use ethernet to the router STILL require coax from the ONT to the quantum STB... I just assumed that you used either coax or ethernet from the ONT... not BOTH.
Does this make sense.... or am I just nuts?
