Has anyone installed Fios One yet?
I'm trying to get info on box sizes, IP or IR control, etc.

Boxes are RF only, they claim they have an IR receiver but it’s not active yet. No IP control.

Ran into this gem a few weeks back. Meant to give everyone a heads up.

I used it with IR on the main video server box. I didn't try it on the playbacks. The FiOS tech didn't do his job when setting up the system (big surprise) and turned out there was a signal issue with one of the playbacks. That took down the whole system at random times. 3 follow-up tech visits later they found the issue with the signal, the first 3 techs that came were incompetent.

Do you still need the Fios router to pull the guide?

Opinion varies with regard to the "best" way of handling this. Some prefer to hang a private router off of a DMZ, while others prefer to place the FIOS gateway behind the private router. Bridge mode for the FIOS gateway is not available, but one can disable the WiFi. FIOS support will be grumpy about diagnosing things if their gateway is behind a private router.

Fios Support Will not help you if the Fios Router is not first in line. Also, The boxes will not get the proper updates unless The Fios Router is first in line. The boxes will eventually slow to a crawl and stop working all together (this takes about 3 months but DOES happen at least in my area). The best way we have found to handle Fios customers is to make the system work as designed: Fios router in front with STB's connected via coax and out router off of it in the DMZ. We also set The Static NAT to our router's IP address. This actually has saved trick rolls because we can contact Verizon first and the can see if everything is up and running BEFORE we even need to go out.

Just put it into your superior routers DMZ and forget it is even on the network. I've started doing this with Xfinity as well, it allows you to keep it as a gateway and whenever Xfinity or Verizon log in to ruin your network settings they have no effects on your set up.

This will NOT work. If the Fios Router is not pulling the public IP address. No support, no updates.

Not from my experience- you give the Verizon router a static up from your router going into the wan port and also make sure to change the dns and subnet.

Give it a few months until they send out an update. Then let me know...

After a year I haven’t noticed any issues. Thanks though.
