Why is a router needed for installation of Verizon FiOS TV Service?
We use a broadband router to provide you the latest in TV technology. Data for the FiOS TV Interactive Programming Guide and On Demand programming travel over our network to the Optical Network Terminal and through the router before reaching your STBs, allowing you to take control of your viewing experience and experience the interactivity that this network enables. The router provides a more secure networking environment and ensures the quality of service necessary to deliver the FiOS TV experience. In the future, should you choose, the router will facilitate application and content sharing in the home between your TVs and computers.
