• Verizon

FiOS Router
• Power Supply
• RJ-45 Ethernet cable (straight-through) (yellow)
• RJ-45 Ethernet cable (straight-through) (white)

6.2 Installation Requirements
To install your Verizon FiOS Router, you will need the following:
• Active VDSL2 line
• Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your PC
• 802.11 b/g wireless adapter (for wireless installation)
• COAX (for coax installation)
IMPORTANT: Please wait until you have received notification from Verizon that your VDSL2 line has been
activated before installing your Router.
6.3 Microfilters
VDSL2 signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, computer modem
or any similar conventional device. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and VDSL2 performance.
Install a microfilter if you desire to use the VDSL2-equipped line jack for telephone, answering machine, fax
machine or other telephone device connections. Microfilter installation requires no tools or telephone rewiring. Just
unplug the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a microfilter, next snap in the telephone
device. You can purchase microfilters from your local electronics retailer, or contact the original provider of your
VDSL2 equipment.
