Ever since I got Verizon FIOS service I have been extremely happy with it. Currently my internet connection is running at 45Mbs down and 30 Mbs up and it really is amazing how fast you get used to having that speed, and how many services it opens up to you. However there is a down side to the service, the cheap ass POS router that Verizon gives you.

When they were installing it I did not think there would be a problem, I figured I would just plug my own router in when they left and be able to do whatever I wanted. For some reason, that eludes me, they ran a COAX cable from the FIOS box outside to the router in the house. So for me to throw out the Verizon router I either have to call Verizon out again, suffer them running dirt all through the house and probably paying a fee, or figure something else out.

Well it turns out that it just adding a new router was not nearly as hard as I though it would be. You can nearly just plug it in and go.
