Hi, I just ordered Verizon FiOS, in the North Bergan - NJ, area, and I'm just wondering what I should prepare for before Verizon tech arrives. I'm just clueless as to what I should tell them. I need to prepare a location for them to install the ONT, which must be outside/in the garage near a power outlet?
They then wire that through the walls up to the attic and then drop the line wherever I want a Cat5 outlet to be in my house? Then from there, do they hook up their router to it and then to a computer, and then software is installed onto the computer to program the router?
Now I have a wireless router (Linksys WRT54g, and I want to use that, but I ordered the free router from verizon. Is this okay?) Also, I want to place the wireless router, more or less in the center of my house - but there is no computer there. There's one about 10 feet away, against a side of the wall... can I ask them to install the outlet to the center of my house, and then just have a wire run from the computer to the router, install the router than take out the wire and just leave the wireless router sitting on the floor without a computer?
Thanks for any help.
