New fios router?
It's called the CHR30. We just started rolling it out in select areas. Looks like you're in one of them. It functions as a router and extender which is why we call it a WiFi access point, and yes it's WiFi 7 capable! No more CR1000/CE1000 / G3100/E3200 multi-SKU solutions for Whole Home WiFi anymore

Just installed the new CHR30 WiFi access point.
I just installed the four new units last night and I’m really liking this system. I’m coming from a G3100 and two E3200 extenders, so the extra extender and the 6GHz band really transformed my network. The WiFi covers my entire 3600 sq. ft house and everything just feels snappier. There’s a few bugs

Verizon FIOS CR1000B and TP-Link POE Access Points
I am also your age. I have essentially the same setup, with the exception of the live-in adult daughter. I have a Verizon G3100 router and, like the CR1000, it has less than optimal wi-fi coverage and speed. I have therefore also disabled the wi-fi on the G3100 and use it just as a router. The Ether

Would you purchase this Verizon extender outright?
IMO the newer Verizon model (cr1000) doesn't offer that much improvement over the g3100 in real world scenarios, even though it does technically have better hardware. Verizon will be coming out with a new router within the year though. If you're an internet only customer you can also consider buying

Router settings question
DFS channels may be clearer. However, they run at less power. Some older devices cannot “see” them. I disable them. Verizon’s G3100 and CR1000A/B routers do a pretty good job handling WiFi with SON enabled.

Is there any way to extend CR1000B router wirelessly?
...Do I have any options or am I just out of luck? Yeah sadly as you've discovered the CE1000a is the extender model meant to work fully with the CR1000 which includes wireless support. Unfortunately Verizon currently has very limited supply of these so they are limiting to the 2gb customers for the ti

Looking for extender recommendation
The E3200s work great if you can do coax backhaul. I have 3 of those in my house with a G3100 router and its great. I tested an Asus mesh system as well but it was not nearly as good as coax connected E3200's. The Verizon equipment is very good imo, see if you can get one for free from Verizon befor

Client upgrading wifi has gig fiber with I-211M-L ONT and verizon router (G3100)
You can just take the G3100 out without calling Verizon. I highly recommend using Ethernet backhaul between the ASUS Mesh nodes. At Gigabit speeds, wireless backhaul struggles or doesn't give you the appropriate spacing. ASUS gives you a setting in the GUI to enable if you have all of your nodes on

Router/Modem is constantly slowing down. What to do?
There's two white Verizon routers, a cylinder shaped one (G3100) or a rectangular one (CR1000). You ideally need to test hardwired. There's too many variables with wifi. But if you have a laptop, toggle off the wifi until you're close to the router, then toggle it back on, that should ensure you're
