Ethernet from ONT no Verizon router

Hello,

I see that many closely related questions like mine have been asked and answered on these forms, but nothing specific to my question.

 

I am getting an Internet only FiOS installation soon. I think I would prefer going wired ethernet from the ONT to my existing Wi-Fi router WAN port rather than going coax from the ONT to a Verizon router then via wired connection to the WAN port of my router.

 

I am Internet only. I am switching from Time Warner Cable RoadRunner. It sure would be nice to just move the ethernet cable from the RoadRunner modem to the FIOS ONT and have everything on my network work as before. I'm pretty sure my router WAN port just requests DHCP from the modem (or ONT).

 

Is this possible? What should I tell the install tech? Is there an advantage to using a coax connection to the Verizon router then connecting to my router? If I don't use the Verizon router, do I save 10 bucks per month on the rental?

 

Thanks,

Barry.
