Wired Access Point
dom1:
I have Verizon Fios internet and TV service with the Obi 110 connected to the Verizon supplied wireless G router. It's the closest to the verizon service that comes in from the street. I have a wired access point in another room via coax to a wireless N router. Would it be advisable to connect the Obi to the N router (access point) or is it better to have it closer to the service coming in from the street? Thanks I'm trying to avoid spending $85.00 for a verizon N router.
RFord:
It doesn't matter one way or the other. I assume the N-Router will be in bridge mode, essentially acting as a dumb switch and the G-Router is handing out IP addresses.
I curious though, as how the two Routers are connected via coax cable. Do you care to elaborate how this is accomplished?
Ostracus:
FIOS can use MoCA to make connections.

If you have a Verizon supplied router or a Moca adapter you just plug the router into the coax jack on the wall and you have a wired connection back to the "gateway" router. My thinking was the further from the service coming in from the street the more the VoIP would degrade. As it is now I have a slight delay when answering the phone.

The physical distance between the two should not make a noticeable delay. It may cause lost packets however. The best suggestion I have is to do some testing to see if the connection is up to par for Voip. Plug a computer into the connection and do a VOIP test from the URL below.
