We just switched over from Comcast two days ago to FiOS; we have TV, Phone, and Gigabit internet service through Verizon now.
One major issue we have is that many of the wireless devices in our house now seem to lose connection to the Wifi quite often, particularly our two iPhones and my wife's laptop. For instance, our bedroom upstairs never used to have any connection issues, but it's so bad that I can't even stream a show on Netflix using my phone, much less try to watch a show from the DVR using the FiOS mobile app in that room; the connection just keeps "spinning". Additionally, my wife's laptop just keeps connecting on and off, on and off.
I purchased a Netgear range extender in hopes that it would fix the "dead spots", but that seems to have the same issues, so i'm pinning this on the FiOS Quantum Gateway.
I know I can turn the Wifi off on the Quantum Gateway, but can I hook up my old router to the FiOS gateway and use the Wifi off that old router instead? Will that affect any of the other services in the house (TV, Phone, etc?)
At this point my wife is ready to cancel the whole deal, and is driving me nuts about why we keep having issues.
Any advice would be appreciated!
