AskWoody PlusIn the Start menu’s alphabetical listing, PowerShell 7.x should be found under ‘P’, whilst PowerShell 5.1 (and its ISE) should be found under ‘W’ (for Windows PowerShell).
Did they do that just to annoy us… 😣
It is still there as you said. 😮🍻

I see a start shortcut still loads 5.1.19041.2673. However the list of programs only yields 7x the ver 5 links were wiped when I installed 7.🍻

AskWoody PlusIn the case of Will’s network, the Verizon box would, almost definitely, not see any Ethernet traffic at all.
Just broadcasts, but is UPNP broadcast based? That would be traffic I would not want available at the ‘modem’.
BTW, Verizon support may not be great but it is much better than Optimum/Altice in my experience. I have not spoken to a tech since I set up my network and then it was my misunderstanding than was causing my problem, the DHCP thing I mentioned elsewhere.

AskWoody PlusYes, I suspect that if Will connected a Linksys router to the Ethernet port on his modem (“interface box” in his words) the router would work just fine.
One caveat to that; Verizon is weird in regards to WAN DHCP services. It is best to clone the MAC address and set the Wan IP address on the replacement and ask for DHCP release on the Verizon router immediately before removing it from network. It can take hours before Verizon decides to redistribute IP addresses and do you really want to try to explain to the VZ tech you just need DHCP re-provisioning?

AskWoody PlusWell to my understanding some questionable statements regarding FIOS in this thread.
Let me try to explain. The FIOS ‘signal’ comes to the premise (or, as in my case, into) on a Fiber Optic cable. This plugs into an Optical Network Terminal (ONT ). The ONT may supply a connection for a phone (RJ11 IIRC) , Ethernet RJ45 and an RJ6 MoCA connection for signal to Set Top Box (STB) and router (G3100 in my and Will’s case). This later can be for your internet and/or chat between G3100 and STB (on demand video and TV guide stuff)
I do not know if the protocols work between the ONT and one of the Best Buy ‘modems’. They do have the same connectors but I do not know just what the function would be if so.
As to using one’s own router as the primary, it is possible (or even only router if certain TV functions are forgone).
This is my configuration:
Background material for this:
https://www.dslreports.com/faq/15992
https://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios
The black box in the middle labeled VZ router would be the G3100.
There are several ways to do this but IMHO this is the easiest but one needs to review the materials.
However %100 NOT Plug and Play
Maybe more like plug and pray.🍻
