What's included in a professional installation?
When you order Verizon FiOS, a Verizon professional will install your service. Installation is FREE for your primary computer if you sign up for a one-year agreement. If you select a Month-to-Month plan, the installation fee is $79.99. You will also be given the option of setting up additional computers during the initial installation for $89.99 each.
On the date of your installation, a Verizon professional will come to your home and install Verizon FiOS Internet Service. They will need access to your home computer and will perform the following:
- Install special data wiring to your computer. If necessary, they will install any required wall jacks.
- Install the Verizon home networking router and software.
- Get you connected to the Internet.
- Migrate any voice services on the current billing account to the Verizon FiOS network. There is no additional cost for this, and it will not affect your current monthly charges.
- Provide a Verizon FiOS Welcome Kit with information about your FiOS connection, Verizon Central and online services.
What if I want to connect more than one computer?
If this is a new FiOS installation, you will receive a FREE wireless home networking router with your FiOS Internet Service. Existing FiOS TV customers will use the wireless router provided with their FiOS TV service.
The wireless router allows you to connect up to 4 computers through the four wired ports, and/or additional computers without wires. This means that you can use a combination of wired and wireless networking for multiple computers.
For each wireless computer that you connect, you will need the appropriate wireless adapter. During installation, you will have the option of selecting wireless adapters.
Home networking bandwidth shared by multiple users; simultaneous usage may affect individual user's throughput speed. Home networking requires a router and if working wirelessly may require wireless adapters, which are sold separately.
