    Need help/advice setting up a new router.

    So the wifi at my house is absolute dogshit with the router that was provided to me by my isp so I decided to buy my own router.

    Only issue is I have fios TV and internet so the router I currently have has a coax cable plugged in for the TV guide and DVR. I've already purchased a coax/ethernet adapter but it won't be here until next Saturday.

    How would I go about using the new router without sacrificing my TV usage for a week? I've read online that I can setup the new router as my primary and simply run an ethernet cable to the old router and that would keep the TV working just until I got the adapter.

    Any advice or personal experiences from someone?

    Plug coax into tv, don't need router for that.

    Move router somewhere else.

    Plug router into new router.

    Tell Verizon to turn on ONT and plug new router into modem via Ethernet.

    Could do a few things.
