ONT ethernet vs. Coax? which is better?

Hi, 
I'm currently using coax from the ONT to my router, but I was thinking of switching it to the ethernet port and using an ethernet cable from the ONT to my MI4244WR routers' WAN port for internet, and using the coax throughout the house for just FiOS TV.  My TV menu takes an extra long time to load, and also so do the widgets.  I would like to split data and fios TV traffic to see if seperate media helps the situation. 
Has anyone had any experience with this, and if so, was it positive?  
Also, is there anything special that I need to do to get it to work?  
Thanks!
Ken

I'd leave your current configuration alone.  The fact is the traffic is already split.  The FIOS optical cable that runs to your house carries 3 different frequencies/colors/wavelengths of light.  One is for Internet, one is for TV, and one is for phone.  The ONT separates these out and puts the proper one on the proper type of cable.  The setup you currently have is precisely what most FIOS users have (including me) and I don't see any reason to change it.

    Which is better, Netgear N900 or Airport Extreme?

    Gpcn,
    I'm going to highly recommend the new Airport Extreme. I've been having all sorts of wifi and networking issues because of the saturated 2.4 GHz spectrum in my surrounding neighborhood.
    I finally bit the bullet on friday night and purchased the Airport Extreme. I could not be happier!
    I used to top out at around 8 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload with my older Linksys setup. Now i'm getting 40+ Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s respectively.
    Not only that, but i'm no longer dropping my wifi with my devices (latops, iPads, iPhone, etc). It's very consistent and the speeds are amazing!
    Sure it may be pricier than others, but it's worth every penny. The setup is very easy and you get Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting computers or network devices as well as built-in NAT support for security. You are better off getting the Airport Extreme.

  • Which is better, Kindle Plugin or Calibre?

    I am wanting to create a kindle friendly file of the book I am working on. I know that Amazon released a Kindle Plugin for ID but I have read that there are various issues that it has because it is free and a beta version. Anyway, for those of you who have converted epub to mobi (using Calibre) and the Kindle Plugin. Which is better?
    Thanks!

  • Help with WRT54GS on FiOS (ethernet, not coax)

    Hey guys, I'm new here and just trying to get some help with this unsolvable problem that I just started having with my Linksys WRT54GS and Verizon FiOS last week.
    To simplify my full story and actual issue here, I put it all into points to try and make it simpler to understand:
    -In Fall of 2007, I switch from Comcast to Verizon FiOS after getting screwed over waiting for two weeks and never getting a new router, as the first one was fried in a thunderstorm
    -Little brother knocks over the first Actiontec router and it breaks
    -Actiontec replacement router's wireless is nonexistant (MI42WR)
    -After trying out bridging the Linksys to the Actiontec, it proves to be much more of a pain than actual solution to lack of wireless
    -Switched from coax to full cat5 ethernet last year to use Linksys WRT54GS
    -Been happily directly connected from ONT to Linksys WRT54GS via cat5 ethernet for the past year while the wireless is perfect for the other computers
    (last week)
    -Turned off Linksys router for one night last week to give it an over night rest
    -Has not been able to connect to Verizon with old WRT54GS or brand new WRT54GL router (That I'm now returning)
    -ONT ethernet light outside still has a green light indicating it's working
    -I do not want to bridge the Actiontec and Linksys again
    -I do not want to go back to using the Actiontec for anything, but stuck with it for now
    -Has reset the connections of the router, computer and released the DHCP plenty of times, but to no avail
    -Has upgraded the firmware of my WRT54GS before typing this and still nothing
    -No connection for any Linksys router, but the Actiontec works
    I can't think of a solution except perhaps trying one from another company, like D-Link.. (sad face) I'm already returning the new router on monday, since I don't believe that my WRT54GS is even broken if the new one isn't connecting either. So I'm just thinking that perhaps Verizon has done something that isn't allowing any of my Linksys routers to connect, since they happily started charging me an extra $10-12 on the FiOS bill without notice. Though at this point, I have a hard time believing that even switching to another router company and using their products will do anything for me..
    At this very moment, I'm suffering with this awful stock Verizon router and my parents and aunt have been complaining for the past two weeks. Hopefully someone here knows what the real problem may be that can chime in with some help.
    Solved!

    Yep, I sure have done exactly what you said to do. I wasn't able to edit my post, but that's exactly what I had to do when I was doing tests with the Verizon technician over the phone. I also reset all of the settings within my computer and browsers.. Still, the only router that works is the Actiontec router that I have been trying to avoid. The other Verizon techs during the day don't help at all, but the one time I called at like 2am at least TRIED to help me out with my Linksys router..
    I've even gone as far as switching the ethernet cable from the ONT that goes to the WAN port of the Linksys to go to the computer's ethernet port and moving the other end to the Lan 1-4 jacks, while using a whole new cable for the ONT --> Linksys WAN.
    I still got the green light from the ONT and I still got no connection from Verizon.. There's no way I'm switching out from Verizon FiOS, but this is really giving me a headache trying to solve this issue.

  • Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

    Hi gurus!
    Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
    What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
    Thankful for advice
    Sari

    ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
    classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
    instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
    >
    but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
    it happen at translation time so will it create any
    type of burden for my code if i import multiple
    classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
    It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

  • Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

    Hi,
    We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
    Here are our main concerns/desires:
    Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
    We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
    We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
    With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
    Thanks, Sam

    hello,
    SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the 
    Premium Preview
    for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
    If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
    performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.
    Reference:
    Choosing between SQL Server in Windows Azure VM & Windows Azure SQL Database

  • Which is better??????

    which is better?Dam really confused which speaker to buy??
    i currently have a creative m2600.but am not getting enough performance or that feel while watching movies like avatar,step up 3 etc......so am planning to buy a 5.1.......not planning but i have decided to buy a 5.1....so..
    which is better? the 6160 or 6060 or 6100.
    which of these will provide me relly great exprience while playing games and most importantly while whatching hd movies and while listening to music.......
    and other than this what i have to ask is...what is this "db" in speakers. i mean while looking at a speaker specs we can see it..like 65db,85db,75db..etc........
    and when i compared specs of the three speakers i mentioned above i saw that the 6160 has low "db"........why is that?

    The specs is just a guide, you won't be able to tell the slight difference in db using just your ears. Besides, it is just a comparison between the level of a music to the level of background noise, it does not necessary mean which speaker sounds better. If possible, please make a trip to your local electronics store and try out the speakers system yourself.

  • Which is better an android or apple

    Which is better getting an android smart phone or an Apple I Phone?

    As the poster Horses 547 said its a matter of personal preference. However I own and use both. Printing via air print is smooth and easy on an iphone. Printing on a android phone is iffy and tedious and you will have to find an app to print since there is no native app to do so. I purchased http://www.printhand.com which costs around $12 from the app store. but it is in my opinion the best printing app out there for android. I use it on my android tablet as well and its great. This company is the maker of the print app on iphones.
    The iphone is a little harder to put your own ringtone on the device. However very easy from the Itunes you put on your computer and hook into.
    Another thing an iphone does is if you use their cloud service or pay for a song it is available on all your ios devices. Iphone, ipad, or ipod or up to five computers registered through itunes on those computers.
    Google play music also can sync with all your android devices.
    Iphone don't have external Micro SD card slots, so the storage on the phone is all you have.
    Iphones use imessage which does not count against your text allotment  to another iphone or ipad user. it send regular text to non iphone users.
    Another thing is Face Time but I found a better program called oovoo at http://www.oovoo.com or in the Google Play Store for free.
    Iphones are paper thin but I have an android that has a larger view area and is also paper thin and light. Depending on the android phone it may have a removable battery, whereas iphones are sealed as are some new androids. I have found the sound for music better on my iphone, and videos are crystal clear. Again on some better androids the music and video is comparable .
    There is really not many differences but it up to the user.
    One last good thing is iphones are updated via Apple, no long waits for OS updates like is done with Android devices, and android devices on Verizon.

    all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I

    more than other versions...

  • Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

    which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
    Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

    Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
    But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
    May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
    Hope this cleart your doubt..

  • Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing

    Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing dimension?
    We are trying to figure out which can give us better performance in terms of calculations and retrieving reports - to add another dimension (entity/country) or add about 500-800 more members in an existing location/division dimension?
    Thank you!

    If you have BSO cube i would recommend to add in the same dimension where as ASO you can add members in a new dimension. Adding a new dimension is like creating a new cube you have to change each and every single calc scripts,report scripts,FR reports,Webforms and your rule files .... all the dependencies has to be changed manually . I think 500 members in the exsting BSO dimension will not impact the calc or retrieval times that much .

    For some reason that link I gave you isn't working right now, but it was today, weird. I would get Tomcat simple because sun uses it in its examples and recommends it. Here's sun's link then, it's probably more useful anyway. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/

  • Which is better sockets/socketchannel why

    which is better java.io.Socket / java.nio.channel.SocketChannel

    Better for what? They both work. Sockets are simple but only support blocking operations. SocketChannels are about ten times as complex to use but they support non-blocking and multiplexed I/O and also various types of direct and mapped buffering so they can also imply less data movement.
