You might also consider a mesh. That will give you multiple Wi-Fi transmitters for a large area. They're simple to set up too.

I have the ASK unit. I kept my router because I have port forwarding set up for security cameras. I also have Deco Mesh set up for wifi. They are set to access point mode after the router. When you go to Pass Through, the pilot light on the ASK goes from white to green. I had to set the ASK firewall setting to minimum because of my alarm system connection to the central station. After all that, everything works great and I am very satisfied with Verizon.

@@rbrbworld Set it up in Pass Through mode (green light on front instead of white light) and get a router mesh system. Once a week, reboot the Verizon box, whether it’s your router or in Pass Through mode. That will maintain your internet speed. I have found if you don’t, the speed throttles down. Just unplug the power plug for 30 seconds and Verizon will reboot to either a white light as a router or a green light as Pass Through mode.
