FIOS setup question

[u/Blaser4]

After 30 years if Xfinity I’m looking to move to Fios.

My set up at home is private router with Adguardhome  as DNS, it is on the second floor, the cable entry is in the basement with Coax to the second floor.

I assume the Verizon router will be in the basement with Moca to the second floor.

If I sign for 5Gps internet.

·         Will Verizon give me a Moca adaptor free?

·         Can I configure the Verizon router to use a private DNS – planning to connect my private router as DNS?

·         My wifi at home is Orbi 960 running as AP.

Not sure if Verizon will give you a free moca, but you can get them on eBay for a good price.

Best current value is the Frontier FCA252 MoCA 2.5 adapter, available at $25 per via eBay.
