Refurbished Verizon Fios Routers and WiFi Extenders

Verizon Fios is a 100 percent fiber network, which means your home does not use a cable or DSL modem at all. Verizon installs an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) on the wall, and a Fios compatible router handles everything after that: WiFi, Ethernet, and the MoCA coax networking that many Fios homes rely on for TV boxes and extenders. That router is the one piece of Fios equipment you can own, and this collection carries the exact models Verizon deploys, tested and Grade A refurbished.

Verizon Fios Plans in 2026

Fios plans currently run from 300 Mbps up to 2 Gig in most markets, with 5 Gig available in select areas, at roughly $35 to $130 per month depending on speed and discounts. Every tier has symmetrical or near symmetrical upload speeds, no data caps, and no annual contract. Verizon also offers Fios TV, home phone, and a Mobile + Home discount that lowers your internet bill when you pair Fios with a Verizon phone plan. Whole-Home WiFi, which bundles in mesh extenders, is included on the gigabit tiers but not on the 300 and 500 Mbps plans.

What Fios Equipment Costs to Rent in 2026

Verizon includes the router at no extra monthly charge on its current plans, which is a genuine improvement over the old model. But that only applies to newer plans. If you are on a legacy Fios account, you are likely still paying up to $15 per month for the router, which is $180 per year for hardware you could own outright. Extenders rent for $10 per month each, or $199 to buy new from Verizon. And if you change off a bundled plan, Verizon can add the router charge back to your bill. Check the equipment line on your statement; plenty of long-time Fios customers are still paying it without realizing.

Why Buy a Refurbished Fios Router

If you are on a legacy plan, a refurbished G3100 or G1100 typically pays for itself in three to six months of skipped rental fees. Even on newer plans where the router is included, owning your own unit means no equipment to return if you cancel, no unreturned equipment charges, and a spare on hand if a router fails. The Verizon Fios G3100 is the current generation tri-band WiFi 6 router with MoCA 2.5, a fit for gigabit plans. The G1100 Fios Quantum Gateway is the budget pick for plans up to around 500 Mbps, and the Fios E3200 extender pairs with the G3100 to cover larger homes without the monthly extender fee.

Tested, Warrantied, and Ready for Your Fios Service

Every router and extender in this collection is Grade A refurbished: tested by hand in the US, factory reset, and backed by our 90-day full-coverage warranty. Because these are the same models Verizon deploys, activation is a straightforward swap; connect the new router where the old one was and Fios recognizes it. Setup guides are available on our blog if you want a walkthrough, and if you are unsure which model matches your plan, check the FAQ below before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a modem for Verizon Fios?

No. Fios is fiber, so the Verizon-installed ONT takes the place of a modem. You only need a Fios compatible router, which is what this collection carries.

Can I use any router with Fios?

If your ONT connects by Ethernet, most routers will pass internet traffic. But Fios TV, MoCA coax networking, and Verizon remote support all expect a Fios router like the G3100 or G1100, which is why most Fios homes stick with them.

Is the router free with Verizon Fios?

On current plans, yes, the router is included. On legacy plans it still rents for up to $15 per month, and extenders rent for $10 per month each on many accounts. Your bill's equipment line will show what you are paying.

Which router do I need for my Fios speed?

For 1 Gig and 2 Gig plans, use the G3100. For 300 or 500 Mbps plans, the G1100 handles the full speed at a lower price.

Will Verizon activate a router I bought myself?

Yes. Fios routers are not account locked. Swap the connections from the old unit to yours and the service comes up; if it was previously listed as a rental on another account, a quick call to Verizon clears the flag.
