As part of your Verizon FiOS Internet Service, you will receive a wireless router. Existing FiOS TV customers will use the router provided with their TV service. Your router will enable you to create a home network so that multiple computers can be online at the same time. Your router also contains special diagnostic software that can help us trouble-shoot and correct problems should you experience trouble with your Internet Service. You will need to use the Verizon router with your FiOS Internet service. In addition, new equipment will be installed at your home for the Verizon FiOS network. An Optical Network Terminal (ONT) will be installed on the outside of your home, and a battery backup unit will be installed inside your home or garage. The ONT will need to be plugged into an electrical outlet inside your garage or home, so you’ ll need to ensure an outlet is located close to where the ONT will be installed.
