Character Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi guys, Just got my R2 in the mail , I have Verizon fios and my wireless router is my modem, I know I need a moca adapter and I need to call Verizon to do something but I don’t know what , is this really the method or is there another? Also what’s the best moca adapter for this setup I’ve seen the moca 2.5 gocoax look promising but not sure, any help will be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2021 Are you attempting to replace this with the R2? If so you can just connect it to the existing modem/router which is actually recommended and that will work! Zippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I've connected it to the existing modem and it was working fine for about 10 hrs. I was trying to use the hybrid VPN and reset the R2 and now the R2 doesn't even connect to the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are still able to access the interface of the R2 then in your case I would just power cycle your modem and see if your connection will restore itself.. See if that works.. Good luck! Zippy..

That imo would be the simplest way without alot of hassle.. As far as a moca adaptor ive never heard of that used before on fiber.. But then again im not at all familiar with Verizon fios.. If you hookup your R2 to your existing modem/router then I wouldnt even think you would need a moca adaptor.. Do you actually have fiber coming into your home or do you have coax/copper cable coming into your home? Thanks! Zippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good suggestion from Zippy, please see if that restores it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea this Hybrid Modem/wifi is nice but Verizon charges me a monthly fee for using there router I think I read in a post in the past that I can use a Moca and call verizon to make it go through the USB port 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 7, 2021 Ah I see, yes in theory you could use a that adapter to use the R2 instead. I think they're quite cheap so definitely worth a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
