    FIOS: Own router + NIM or FIOS Router?

    FIOS: Own router + NIM or FIOS Router?

    FIOS tech came today and switched me to Ethernet/NIM100 config. I have to seriously admit, the new router MAKES A DIFFERENCE. That Westell 9100em is a flat out POS and I can't believe Verizon allows it to be the hardware. The tech even admits it's a POS.
