I'm currently running Verizon Fios, and I recently swapped the Verizon provided router with a 3rd party router.
The Verizon provided router has an ethernet WAN port and a coax port. Both ports were used, however, the 3rd part router only has a WAN port. Without a coax port, my set top box for the Fios Television service can't receive program schedules or any firmware updates. So, I was wondering, can a simple adapter from coax to ethernet solve the issue (using one of the LAN ports for the adapter)?
EDIT: Sorry for the misplaced thread. If any moderator happens to come across this thread, please move it to networking. Thank You.
