What is the iot network for
I just upgraded to the whole home wifi router and extender
I see there is an iot network What is that exactly for and should i turn it on I called the fios guy and he asked if i had my own router or if i wanted to rent one from verizon for an additional $15 per month, which obviously i don't want to do O preferably don't want to spend over $100 (saw something on sale on amazon for $60).
What's the downside of buying a router vs renting one I guess i'm asking how often does verizon upgrade their fios routers? A while ago i read a post about wan ip dropping with certain router os on verizon fios due to dhcp server accepting only broadcast and not unicast requests I think the recommendation was switching pfsense/opnsense to using broadcast by default
Under the wan interface settings, under dhcp client configuration, select advanced, then presets freebsd default, and under option modifiers add.
With previous fios tv equipment you were able to use your own router using a moca adapter for your router, but the new equipment (android tv steaming box + vsm4100atv) from verizon will only work with a verizon router. A unofficial community to discuss and ask questions about anything and everything verizon, be it wireless, fios, dsl, landline, etc.
