Verizon set me up for FIOS internet and phone. I added FIOS TV and was sent a self-install cable card. I believe the outside wiring needs to change but I can't find any wiring diagrams to go all the way to the outside boxes. I’m hoping I can wire this myself so I don’t have to waste time meeting up with a Verizon service technician.
Below are two photos, one of each of two outside Verizon boxes. The first photo of Outside Box 1 shows three cables going out the bottom of the box. The coax from the "cable out" terminal at the bottom right goes inside to my router. The CAT5E cable originating at the upper right goes to Outside Box 2. The CAT5E-like cable originating at the lower left goes to the battery/power unit inside. There is also a cable not shown going to Outside Box 1 from the telephone pole. Notice that the video light in the photo of Outside Box 1 is not lit.
The second photo is of Outside Box 2. The two white cables on the right are for phone—one goes to Outside Box 1 and the second goes inside to my telephone distributor box. The wire at the bottom left comes from the telephone pole.
It seems that I need a second coaxial cable going to my TV or set-top box. But I see no unused coaxial connections on the outside boxes. Also, it is confusing that the coaxial cable going from Outside Box 1 to my router originates from the “cable out” connector rather than coming from the Ethernet connection just to the right (not a coax connection).
Thanks in advance for your help.
