Upgraded to Gigabit Internet, but full speeds aren't working anymore.
There’s no modem mode in a FiOS installation. Most concepts from cable or coax internet don’t apply here, since there isn’t a traditional modem. The setup mainly uses a router instead. The ONT connects your fiber to a copper jack, which then feeds into the router. This setup doesn’t involve routing or NAT—just a straightforward media converter. The router handles the public IP, DHCP, and DNS for your local network. If your laptop is underperforming, the issue might be with your PC’s network card. You could try setting up local file sharing to test if the problem lies there.
