What's the best router for verizon fios to unravel the fiber optic maze?
Just switched to Verizon Fios gigabit plan and I'm lost in the router jungle. Their rental doesn't cut it for my smart home setup - I've got about 20 devices including smart lights, thermostats, and security cameras. Looking for the best router for Verizon Fios that can handle the load without breaking a sweat. Any Fios veterans out there with router wisdom to share? Budget is around $300, but flexible for the right option. Thanks in advance!
For your setup, I'd recommend the asus rt-ax86u. It's one of the best routers for Fios gigabit and can easily handle 20+ devices. Plus, it's fully Verizon Fios compatible and the software is pretty user-friendly for managing all those smart home devices.
Before you dive in, check out "A Guide to Verizon Fios" on updater.com. It's got some solid info on what to look for in Fios compatible routers. Helped me avoid some compatibility headaches.
The ASUS is solid, but have you considered the netgear nighthawk RAX50? It's another great router that works with Fios and handles smart home traffic like a champ. Been using it for a year now, no complaints.
