Using USG Flex 100W on Verizon FIOS. Should Verizon router be removed?

Jim43

I want to be able to manage my own firewall and first thought I would install Zyxel firewall after Verizon's. Should I just take Verizon router out of the loop and plug USG Flex 100W directly into the Verizon ONT? And will this entail a conversation with Verizon?

IMVHO if you're willing to remove the router, the conversation with Verizon should start before removing the device or configuring the USG Flex 100W to replace it.

Thanks mMontana. Good advice.
