Hello all,
so I have been looking on the internet for solutions to this Fios internet G1100 problem I am not a fan of all in one unit and so I want to look into solutions. I currently have Optimum 200/30 internet and I am switching because well it's not that good. Optimum, however, provided me with a modem and a router I returned the router and got the Nighthawk X6 R8000. I love that router it works well and the wifi coverage is vastly superior to the one optimum gave me.
So with the Fios better everything package set to begin next Monday 10/15/18, I want to investigate if I can (1) Use the router I have currently have (only if its better than the G1100 that Verizon gives)? and (2) what modem would I get if I do decide that the G1100 is not as good and I would rather switch.
Also, the last question if anyone happens to know the answer to it. Am I able to install a VPN in the router or no. As of now, I use the VPN on each device individually but I think it would be much better to just set it up in the router if I could. I use PIA's VPN if that makes any difference.
