Nooooooo, my router is not a gateway. The dumb seller is 100% wrong to put the word, "Cable modem". Cable? WTF? It's a fiber optic, not cable. It's very misleading! You are also 100% wrong. My router DOESN'T have a built-in modem. It's only a wireless router for Verizon FiOS. Please read the link from the manufacturer's website below carefully and tell me where a "gateway" or "built-in modem" is mentioned. EXPLAIN to me why Fiber experts say that there's no modem in the system.
DON'T play around with me!
Verizon FiOS Router - MI424WR for Verizon FiOS
DHB even said so.
The point is that it's what Fiber experts say, not me (that's why I left MANY links and their quotes). Google is my best friend and you/DHB are not. Stop playing dumb shit with me like you argue with me while I just tell you what Fiber experts say. That's all.
If you don't agree with Fiber technicians, I don't fu*king care anymore. Enough is enough.
If you work for Verizon FiOS, you will be fired for calling ONT a modem as well as calling a wireless router a gateway because that's misleading. Since you and DHB are not Fiber experts, I suggest that you listen to what Fiber experts or technicians say because dial-up/DSL/cable which require a modem are different from fiber optic which doesn't require a modem due to its 100% digital (zeros and ones). If you don't believe them, that's not my fu*king problem. I bet you wouldn't dare to reply to the experts' comments in those links to tell them they are wrong.
You make a mountain out of a molehill by overreaction about words. FiOS and U-Verse are new network technology and many customers continue to call as modem - see 2 links above. It was part of networking course that I took as well. It was just like you debate about difference between closed captioning and subtitles. How I would play game with you? I'm not excited or pleased to correct your stupidity. If customers say it is router or modem, so just leave it. I repaired customer's computer issues, networking issues, university equipments and any issues that related to IT.
For DSL and cable - they use modem or gateway. DSL come from DSLAM that usually located at front of road or near subdivision. The cable come from central office.
For Verizon FiOS and Windstream fiber optic - they use ONT (wired and networking device), especially in garage, back room, basement, storage room, etc.
At&t U-Verse use ONT or NID.
